Default 17x9 all around

I am going to order a set of CE28N 17x9 +63 to use on the track soon, but just have some questions. For those of you who run CE28N 17x9 +63 all around....how did you get the rear volk to work up front (flush with the hub) since I think the center bore on the rear wheels is smaller than the front wheels, right? Or the 17x9 +63 CE28N center bore are big enough for the front.

Now I am running totally stock suspension with rear wing...with about -1.8 front camber and -2.3 rear camber (they are not max out so I can probably get another -.2 to -.3 more front and rear) ...will I have any rubbing issue up front with 245/45-17 or 255/40-17?

Bore fits front also, so no issues with either size tires, though I have -3 to -4 cmber up front.

You will most likely rub up front on stock suspension.

Im running the volk CE28N time attack in 17x9 +63 all around. I have 255/40/17 up front and 275/40/17 in back. I just had to bend some of the fender tabs up in front, and hasnt been an issue for rubbing. The rears, i had to roll the fenders, and max out the camber at -2.5deg. at the moment, i am temporarily on oem shocks with espelir springs.

FWIW...I have the same tire size in the rear on stock 17s with -2.6 camber and have not had to roll the rear fenders. (on stock springs)

I am still undecided on the wheel size...but some questions for those who run with stagger set up (CE28N 17x7.5 and 17x9)

Again my car is stock with rear wing...how will the car do with 235/45 or even 235/40 Front and 275/40 rear (RA-1)?...I know it will give lots of understeer but most likely I can dial out the understeer with the alignment and maybe wing adjustment, right? My current set up is 205/50 and 235/45 RA-1 on 17 inch rims...with my current alignment setting and rear wing...the car is fairly loose now...

Since I am running stock swaybars, will 275/40 on the rear give me problem with inside rear wheel spinning especially on a very grippy day....for those of you who have experience on both 235-255 and 235-275 combo...any comments and feedback when running on a stock suspension?
