Default Volk CE28N 17x10 +70 advice

Well I have a few questions, one directed to suspension and the other wheel fitment. I wanted to put them in the same thread so you can see what I am trying to accomplish..

First of all I have a set of Volk CE28N Competition Wheels on order. Rear Size: 17x10 +70 and Fronts: 17x8.5 +58. I would like to run star specs 235/45 in the front and 265/40 in the rear.

I was thinking about the KW V3 coilovers. Are these a good decision? I do not want to spend more than $2000 on coilovers.

My big question is.. Is this setup going to rub anywhere. outside.. inside.. if anyone runs this setup what am i going to have to do to make it work?

It will be a semi daily driver for at least a few years. I just hope I do not have to do major modifications like cutting to make this fit.

I was sure that this wouldn't be a problem fitting since Volk Racing made this size for the ap1 and ap2 s2k. (that's what it says on their site at least).

Thanks for the input in advance!

(EDIT) I'm just kind of scared is why I am asking this. I have read threads that give different opinions

The rear will be perfectly fine. The front will be ok on the outside, but might rub a bit at full lock on the inner fender liner, but this will be minor if anything.

Overall this is a good fitting setup, though the tires will be a bit taller than stock. This is going to make your speedometer read a bit slow and it's also going to give you car slightly taller gearing (which will ding acceleration).

Those sizes are about as good as it gets splitting the difference between inner and outer fender clearance. A 235 front definitely won't rub on the inside, you could even step up to a 255/40 front without issue if you ever wanted to. Sounds like a nice setup on KW V3's, that is probably what I would get with $2k.

You won't rub on the inside. You can run up to 9 width +60, 255 up front and be fine under full lock.
