Calling all FC subframe swap guys, wheel question.
 
Finishing the swap up with all 89 5 lug components. Question is will a 15x7 w/ 0 offset (4in backspace) fit without sticking out of the fenders? Thanks

Hi, Although I don't know the answer to your question...

I am picking up an 88 fc to do the same thing to on my 85! do you have a build thread anywhere?

Probably not. 15x7 on a 25mm offset on the 12A suspension needed a lot of fender rolling for me.

There is absolutely no reason to run wheels with that little offset, strut clearance is fine. 45mm offset 15x6s rub the tires slightly if you are running camber bolts.

I don't, but I could answer any questions/send any pics as well as any other person that has done the swap. Just ask

Figured, was just hoping lol. Was looking at a set of 15x7 +40

That offset would barely fit with original suspension like previously memtioned. I'm running 16x7 +29 up front with FC subframe and I think it fits perfectly 👍
