Default 17x7.5 +50 CE28N w/ 15mm running 225 front

i have a set of ce28n front is 17x7.5 +50 going to fun 225 tires, i also need to clear the spoon caliper. i tried i need 12mm inorder to clear the caliper, but i only have a 15mm hubcentric spacer, so i wonder if 17x7.5 +50 w/ 15mm running 225 front will it ok? i think that's like 17x7.5 +35 offset

anyone have similar offset for their front wheels?

I don't think that is safe unless you pull your front fenders or purchase a set of wider aftermarket.

i think "Penduko" ran a 10mm spacer with that wheel and P. Mu caliper and i know it fit fine with a 205/50/17 but i dont know what size tire he went with after that....

He mentioned 225 and not 215. That is risky business.

oh, ok, then a 225 would be "risky business" as IIGQ4U stated...
