Unhappy Sorry Another Offset/rubbing question

I know not another one!

Well I'm very close to going after these and thought I'd see what you guys think!

F 17x8 +47 with 215/45/17
R 17x8.5 +53 with 245/40/17
1" lower with no front camber and 2degrees rear camber

Any ideas on rubbing?
Don't want to roll fenders or put too much more camber on!

Current geo (which I like!)

Those will fit fine at stock height. You SHOULD be able to get them in with your 1" drop and camber settings with no rubbing.

They should fit fine since the tires are the same width as OEM and the rims have more offset which will thuck them further in.

Double check here: http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

They have LESS offset so will stick further OUT.

I understood the rear offsets are on the low side, that is what concerns me

The wheel face will be sticking out 12 mm further than stock. Go look at where it sits right now, do you have 13mm of extra room there? If it's too close you can always adjust your camber a bit more.
You probably don't want to try 255's on the rears though.

The offset recommended for lowered cars is +63 for the rear on CE28Ns...

Those offsets are better than those using Advan RGII

"Advan RGII 17X7.5 +45 / 17X8.5 +50 "

I'm sure someone who is lowered with RGII's could chime in about tire sizes and if there is any rubbing as a worst case example.

Ok, I'll stop.

Oddly enough I gave him the same advice you did.

Now, can you prove I don't understand about wheel and tire fittment, and offsets?
