What rim offset for Volk CE28N

**euro77** · 24-02-2005 09:20 PM

I've set my eyes and heart (and money of course!) for a set of Volk CE28N 17" x 7.5JJ.
I've got a few quotes going around, but there are 2 problems I have:
1. What colour to choose? Thinking of Silver or Bronze, or even have it custom coloured Gun Metal

. My car body colour is graphite.
2. What offset to choose? I've got a link to rays site where they tell for Honda Accord euro-R CL7 is 1775 +50. But will it fit CL9 chassis?

Thanks heaps heaps in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Go with Bronze mate, Silver is a too common colour.

with 17 X 7.5" best to go for +45 offset.
make sure the spokes of CE28N clears the caliper.

baboo does 45 flare out alot

not really, my SE37 has offset of +40...just filled out the guards.

+45 is about right.

ACCORD Euro-R CL7 1775 +50 215/45R17

This is the problem, no one has it for me to test

I've asked several stores, and neither have them in stock, it has to be ordered from Japan.
And Rays Wheels never reply any emails I sent to them

Have you looked on acurazine? I am almost certain someone has these rims there. If it is available in a +50 like Tanghy says - go +50.

It would be unusual if they do not clear the calipers - esp if the offset is +50.

I had some Racing Hart CP035s in my previous car.
they were +40 offset and didn't clear the rear caliper on my car..

it really depends on the design of the wheel too.
