staggered setups/17inch wheel fitment for my fc
I am wondering what offset/widths i can get away with or without modifying fenders... for example I was looking at kansei knp's that are (Front)17x9 +22 and (Rear) 17x9.5 +12... not sure what I would run/can run for a tire but just trying to get an idea of stuff.
p.s. I am running bc racing coilovers.
I was also curious what specs of 17inch wheels others might be running (if it rubs, what fender mods you had to do, spacers), pictures would be cool too!

ive had a pair. the old car was 17x8 with a 32 offset (i think), with 235/??/17's. mustang wheels! tons of room to the strut, it was pretty close to the fender. it wanted a lot of camber to make it ok
it was a looooong time ago, so this is the only pic. same wheels all the way around, IMO i like the rear fit, but not the front
current car should be 17x7 32 in the front, with the most JDM part ever, a 1mm wheel spacer. tire is a 205/50/17.
its a staggered fit, so the rear is 17x8 36, again with a 1mm spacer
pic is actually with the old spacers, so its 17x7 32 in the front and like 17x8 26 in the back? i like the front fit, but i'm still playing with the rear
there is obviously room to do like a 225/??/17 up front, you'd want a 38 or 40 offset wheel, and then maybe a 1-5mm spacer to get it just right
in the rear you have a lot more room so it makes it easier

I have 17x8 with a35mm offset on mine with 225/45/17s. They fit fine with coil overs but I'm not sure they would fit with the stock struts. It would be close. I don't have any pictures but it is similar to the white car j9fd3s posted.

18x8.5 +32 2.0degree camber
18x9.5 +38 0.8degree camber
235/40r18
265/35r18
It's not on its wheels yet so no pics yet
I don't see 9.5 +12 fit without some trickery
