Very tempted by these, always liked them since I saw them a few years ago.
What are they like for rubbing on a lowered car

I was not lowered when I had the fronts mounted and had no rubbing. Front offset is similar to regular ce28n's of 17x7.5 +50 compared to these ce28nf's with 17x8 +47. The wider 8" rim stretches the tire more than the 7.5" rim of the ce28n ( we are not talking streched tires just in comparison between an 8" and 7.5" rim). This would mean that the corner is more rounded and less prone to rubbing than the ce28n. That said on ce28n's some owners have experienced rubbing when lowered using 225/45/17 tires. 215/45/17 tires would be a safe bet. Rolled fenders and/or negative camber would fix any issues of rubbing if you are slammed with 225/45/17. Rear offsets are safe with no rubbing up to 255/40/17 unless you are slammed. Then again fender rolling and/or negative camber would be your friend.

In summary these are not overly aggressive offsets and should not cause any rubbing unless your car is very low AND you are running wide tires.

I had planned to run 235 front 255 rear tires with wide fenders so that option is out there as well. (note that the front tire in the pics is a 215/45/17)

I currently have;

17" Volks Gunmetal CE28N's (Front-17x7.5 ET+50, Rear-17x9.0 ET+63) & Goodyear F1 GSD3 (Front-225/45ZR17, Rear-255/40ZR17)

So it looks like I'm one size too high on both tyres.

Are your NF's with out tyres and in their boxes?
Would you ship to the UK?

If you are not rubbing with your current set-up there is a good chance you will not rub using those same tire sizes. 215/245 would be safer but you might be able to get away with 225/255 on these.

The NF's do not have tires and they are in the original boxes ready for shipping. I could certainly ship to the UK but shipping tends to get expensive. Please PM me your info and I can see what shipping might be.
