Default Work Emotion CR Kai

I'm looking at the Emotions for my S2K. I saw a picture on here that said he was running 17x8 +47 and 17x9 +44. I went to a local place in town to order the same and the guy at the shop was talking to Work and said they recommend +50 and +55 for that size.

I'm ordering right from Work, so I can get custom offsets. What's going to give me flush fitment that will clear a Rotora BBK?

Maybe it was my pics you saw... I'm running this setup with a little wider tires; you can see details in the following thread:

Clickie --> Alexei's S2K.

My car is stock height with stock brakes, and I still needed a rear fender roll to get rid of some mild rubbing when going over some bumps at freeway speeds. Even if I was still running the OEM Bridgestone tires/sizes with the Work wheels, it would still look more aggressive because the offset and 1/2" wider rear wheel will cause the rims to stick out ~1" further than stock AP2 rims. IMO this looks very cool.

Although my brakes are stock, I was informed that my setup would work with most big brake kits (please confirm this before you order).

17x8+47 17x9+44 is what most people that want a semi aggresive offset have and also the rears concave

the +50/+55 is a safe offset that will fit with no modification to your fenders that is why it was recommended by work alos these rears will not concave and not sure if the 17x8+47 will clear a BBK without a spacer but i'm going to guess no
