Hi guys

I searched and was unable to find a pic of an FB or SA22C sporting FD wheels

Im pretty sure I´ve seen at least one a long time ago...

you?

 

I gon't think FD wheels will fit an FB, even with a 5 lug swap.....

 

ive seen a picture on here years ago. im pretty sure you would need a FATTY spacer!!

 

16x8 goes right in the rear, I´ve tried wheels that size.

its the front I worry about

 

16x8 will fit in the rear, I have some on my SA. The problem with FD wheels is just as rotarx7 stated, you would need a huge spacer. That was my intitial plan when I was going five lug, but it was short lived. The backspacing is all wrong on the FD wheels.

To give you an idea, to put FD wheels on a FC you need 25mm spacers. To put FC wheels on a FB/SA, that has been converted to five lug, you need 25mm spacers. So, do the math, to put the FD wheels on a SA you would need about 50mm spacers. That's for the front. For the rears you wouldn't need quite as much, but a good size spacer will still be needed.

I have 16x7 +25 with 205/40 tires on the front now. They sit very close to the fenders, which have been rolled slightly.

There are better/cheaper options available out there.

 

Thanks Aws.

Im going to convert my fb to 5 lug, mostly for the brakes.

I was considering vert wheels, and some fd wheels showed up.... but I think I will try to get vert wheels

 

Vert wheels are where it's at. I am actually in the process of removing the above mentioned Work wheels to replace them with vert wheels, for now. The higher profile tires will be much better suited for the shitty roads in Atlanta.

From what I have gathered, from those running vert wheels, a 25mm spacer will be needed up front to clear the springs. The rears will bolt up without spacers, but you would need 20mm spacers to match the front wheels track width.

 

I want these BBS Staggered ones even more!!

 

I think these are 300ZX rims below..

 

I have coilovers up front, so I might not need spacers.

Can someone please remind me the width of vert wheels? are they 6"?

 

IIRC they are 6". But, it's not just the coil springs that you want to clear, it's just that they look way to far inside without the spacers.

 

I mounted 8" in the back and looked flush, so yeah, 6" would probably look way too far inside...

 

6.5 actually, all of the other stock 15" FC wheels are 15x6

 

Direct, those BBS are ****! They are the stock vert wheels?

 

I Wish. Those are what I want for my car.
They are BBS RS wheels, and staggered (on a 2nd Gen)

There are cheaper replica's available though.
