Zoom, I'd get the villains. I just opened up an account with Konig and don't believe you can get a good with out of the 5-o, but the villains I believe have an option for 17,8 w/ 40mm offset. This is good with a 225/45/17 front and rear. This is the offset and size I use on my FC.

Let me know if you want a hookup. Take a look at the Enkei RP01s. 17,8 w/38mm offset.

Good luck, Rishie

Thief... Go with the Villians I have seen them on an FD and they look sweet. HAmlins 3 Rotor has them in white on a black FD. CHeck out the SCC mag with pics about 6 to 8 months ago

I'll post on Tuesday in US dollars, but it sucks that you live in Canada, because of the exchange rate. But I'll still give you a price on Tuesday.

Thanks, Rishie

I too am interested in the Villians in 17x8 (and 17x9 for my rears if available). Is the 40 offset compatible with FDs though? I was told I would need 32-36 offset for wheels of this size.

Couldn't I just as easily put 235 or 245/45/17 tires on? 225 is same as stock....I'd like a little more meat on my tires.

Damnit, I didn't get to make the call before they closed, but tommorrow is my day off and I will call them first thing in the morning for both of you. The RPo1's are cool and cheap too. I'll get prices on both for you.

Thanks, Rishie

The villains in 17, 8 with a +40 offset are 160.00 ea. + shipping and whatever else is needed like hardware and payment method. Tires are discounted as well and mt and balance is too.

The 17,9's are 170.00 ea.
The 18,8 are 205.00. +30, +40
18,9 are 205.00. +30,+40

To answer the FD question, you will be fine. That is debatable on an FC, but on the FD you want a 40 - 45, depending on the tire width intended for the rear. SSR comp's in a 17, 9.5 are +42. A 9 on a +40 is great.

Let me know, Thanks
