Default volk ce28 question

Hey all. I'm going to be getting volk ce28 wheels. I want to run 17 x 7.5 +50 up front and cant decide between 17 x 8.5 +50 for rear or 17 x 9 +63 for rear. My rears are rolled. Do you guys think it would look weird to have the same offsets front and rear?

thanks

I actually already have a set of dunlop z1 in 215 and 245 in my garage.

I'm just wondering which would look more appealing.

wider always looks better imo, you should go look in the gallery, there are several people running both of those sizes with volks

I had 17x7.5 +43 and 17x9 +63 in re30's... thats pretty much standard fitment. Tire rack sells them in this size as well.

very rare to find a good tire in a 265.

I'll opt for 255. If you don't have the power to back up a wide tire, it's pointless. Don't worry about it.
