hey thats the same setup i plan to run. i used the offset calculator and found out that 17x8.5 +50 would work with wide fender front, and 17x9.5 +47 would work with a fender roll and no pulling.
if my calculations seem wrong, please tell me.
i too am wondering what tire sizes we should run.

A 17X9.5 with 47mm offset is not going to work with just a fender lip roll. You really need 55mm+ to make that work. The tire size would need to be 225/45R17 and 245/40R17. With a 62mm offset you can go up to the 255/40R17.

The highest offset available for LE28N 18X8.5 is +52 and it's rare. Usually it's +47.
The highest offset available for LE28N 18X9.5 is +47. Usually are never instock here in the US.
I think you bought a set of LE28N 17X7.5 +50 / 17X9 +63 because that's the only combination available from Volk. I hope your vendor is honest when selling you a set of wheels.
