Default 5th Gen - 17x7.5 +43 Volks - Fitment Issues?

Is there anyone out there who knows for a fact whether or not 17x17.5 +43 Volk CE28Ns will fit on a 5th Gen Prelude (on TEIN SS coilovers). And by fit I mean no rubbing issues. I'm hoping there's someone on here with the same setup who can fill me in before I buy these rims.

Thanks!

That offset is way off.. At least try to get 48++ and up.. Those will rub..

it also depends on the tire size youre getting. if youre getting 215/40/17 (which might be a little narrow for a 7.5 width) you probably wont rub if you shave the tab in the rear fender. im on 215/40/17 with 42 offset and i dont rub at all (im on ground controls and my wheels are 17x7)

dont tell me your car is black and dont tell me your wheels are bronze?! if so, i got the same thing going on including the suspension set up! except my wheels are +50. id try at least a +48 but just go for +50 to be safe.

Actually, my car is white and I was considering the silver LE28Ns, but I love the bronze-on-black look.

Thanks to everyone for your help! Much appreciated.

i wouldn't chance that. ghetto fab
215 series tires are not too narrow for a 7.5" wide wheel. 205 would be a little too narrow, but will still fit.
