They'll fit, but why would you want 17x7.5 all around? It will look wierd.

It would also affecting handling/performance of the car. The rear tires should be wider than the front.

I agree that the handling would not be as good with the same size on all four corners. I suppose you could run 205/50R17 front and 225/45 R17 rear with the 17X7.5 all the way around. You would end up narrower than the stock OE rear tires though.
If I can help let me know.

- I have 17x7.5 and 17x8.5 fronts are +48 offset and rear is +50 offset... Volk te37s by the way...
- I am running 215.45.17 and 245 40 17... I am DUMPED to the dirt and my front rubs a little...
- so you should DEF. be okay with a +50 offset because I don't know anyone that would lower their car as much as mine...

thanks for the reply. I was actually offered those wheels and decided to wait for a better set of Volks. If anyone wants to let theirs go, please PM me.

The four 17x7.5" +50 wheels would be fine. Just make sure to run staggered tires. 215/45/17s F and 245/40/17 R should work well.

If you went to 8" wide in the rear, the extra 1/2" of wheel in the rear will only give you about an extra 1/4" of contact patch.
