Default SSR SP1

OK, the Enkei RPF1's in 17x9, +45 don't fit the rear of my car the way I like. They stick out a bit to far for my taste. I'm considering 17x8 front, +49 & 17x9.5, +55 rear SSR SP1's. These offsets will have the look I'm after but I'm concerned about the spoke of the wheel sticking out past the rim. I know with the higher offsets the wheels won't have the sunken or concave look to them but I don't want the spokes to stick out beyond the rim. Pictures of these wheels with the stated offsets would be great. Comments would be greatly appreciated.

I'm at stock ride height but if I lower the car I'm prepared to do this.

What size tires? +60 shouldn't be any problem at all with 255/40-17s.

i have the sp1 same offset and size your looking for..im running 225-45 front and 255-40 rear im gonna have to roll my fenders in the rear since i dont want to run to much negative camber and they scrape i would most likely need to roll the front as well if i wanted to go lower im lowered about 2 inches btw spokes dont stick out ..let me know if u got other questions.. another thing that might help ..some people put 5mm spacers up front and i bought them thinking i was gonna need them but they run fine without the spacers..

I plan to run the same size tires. Can you send me a picture or two of the wheels front and rear. I'm reluctant to spend the money on SSR wheels until I know for sure there going look like I prefer.
