Default TE37 Help please

Hello guys.

I have a new set of TE37 Volk wheels in 17x7.5 et+48 front and 17x8.5 et+50 rear. I search the forum and I read enough opinions. I would like the opinion of those who use these rims or know something more. I want use 225/45 front and 255/40 rear, any rubbing issues?Forgot to mention that I am lowered by 30mm-35mm with kw3. Maybe it is more wise to use 215/245...
How traction is affected with these offsets against 50/63 of a ce28n?

I really appreciate all the help I can get
Thank you in advance

With a 245 you should be alright. You might need to roll the fenders so you don't rub on big bumps.

I have the exact wheels.....

I am running 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. To run the 255 in the rear you will need to roll the fenders and have the bumper tab moved and shaved. I am dropped on PSS9 and have about 2 finger tight gap in the rears. hope that helps.

The front I sometimes get rubbing but only when I hit hard dips.
