17x9.5, 18x10.5 on FC.
I painted my car over the weekend. Its not on level ground so it kinda looks all weird to me.
17x9.5 et-7, 18x10.5 et-11.
Tires are wide for their size. SS595s.
215/45/17 (more like 225)
245/40/18 (more like 255)

damn thats a MASSIVE lip on those front wheels!
they look far to set out in front for me to love the setup completely but man thats a nice fitment for an FC if youre into that whole thing.
nice pics! AMAZING wheels!!!!!!!

Thanks Owen, I know this **** wouldn't work unless you drive it sideways, so if I were to build a car for grip, it'd have fitment and sizes much more like yours.
As for the wheels... I am thinking about painting them matte gunmetal. Even the lips.

oh yeah I forgot about the negative offset helping you with room for massive turn radius's's''s's's
thats cool. (I can envision a similar setup on my S14 kouki 240)
your FC screams insanity, nice color choice and I like the front bumper headlight cutouts.
oh man the wheels are the **** the way they are, but I guess any custom work would make them even cooler, but again, those things are sick!

Hey that's pretty cool. I just tossed some rims on my GP WB FC and snapped some pics.
I had to throw on a 25mm spacer netting a -10 offset. I'm running
RPF1 18x9.5 +15 and 10.5 +15 in this photo
WITH 225/45/18 from my RX8 OEM Tire, hehe and RT615 245/40/18 rear. Hey it's all I had and i wanted to check fitment.
I just got the car back and haven't adjusted anything, it was raised to get on the trailer, etc....
My real wheels are some AME Circlar RS that have MAD LIP, but i wanted to see how this SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT solution would fit. Ideally i'll put 265/35 and 295/30on these without spacers.
FYI, I have 20mm wide fronts and 50mm rears.

hot fawk Rishie that setup looks PERFECT! with 265f / 295r it would be a grip monster too, very very cool. nice pics too, man I love those wheels... I will probably go with a setup exactly like that once I get $$$$ to move forward on my s14 kouki 240, ya gotta love the suer light weight setup, aww yeaaaaaaaaah.
wow thats a really nice white FC, the fender work looks great, major props to ya!

THanks owen, ya it's amazing. i've had this car for over 3 years and i've only had it in my possession for maybe 1 year of that. lolz.....
I'm all about the GRIP baby. MAD GRIPPA is alls i wants all the time. Sadly this hurts my Fuel economy also. I'm almost thinking stretch tire is the way to go cause you'll improve on fuel economy. hehehehe.
it's nice to have it back but oh man i gotta
Mount the FB, drill a few holes
Tap a broken bolt for the Fuel Door so it can be installed
Install my 02 sensors and EGT probes, etc....
Frikin' break in the Pineapple motor, 2-3K miles. OMG pig rich fuel and expensive gas prices are scaring me big time.
Fuel Rail, Injectors, and tuning
THEN I'm DONE, werd. Holy damn this **** took time and money.
Dorifto sorry for the TJ, i wanted to just post up another kitted FC with somewhat similar fitments.
Thanks, Rishie

I just sold the wheels and am in the process of getting new ones. Something lighter and more "race" appropriate. I wasn't really happy with the look of those wheels on the red car. Car should have been white, black, silver, or any other dark colour for those wheels to really look nice.
