Another wheel fintment question...sorry
I am getting my first FC tomorrow and found the wheels I want to run on it from ESM wheels ( http://esmwheels.com/access/wheels-0...cPath=21_34_62 ). I am planning on running the 002 model mesh wheels in 16x9 +20 all the way around on rolled fenders in the back and Origin Lab wide front fenders. I was planning on running a 245 wide tire all the way around, the car is a NA so I will not have the power to need to run staggered tires. Back to the point I have been searching all over the site for info on if this setup will fit and cant find the info that I need so if anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

wow sounds like awesomeness.
he can definitely get away with a 245 up front with a 10mm spacer all around... thats if youre planning to use the 25mm up front and 30mm in the rear origin fenders. anything lower than a 25mm will stick out and be all mexiflush

Car is maxed out low on Tein coilovers, I was planning on running the Origin Lab fronts and was hoping not to have to run rear over fenders but if I have to I will.

I though this might helpful if you wanted to consider diff width/offset and such:

From what I have seen on them the 16x9 are around 18lb per wheel, which is a bit on the heavy side but for the look and offset it will be worth it, and the prices are damn reasonable.

And what width tires are you running as I plan to do some time attack and autocross so I would like to be able to run some meaty tires on the car, hoping for 245's all the way around.

I was just linking the wheel in general, they offer multiple bolt patterns/sizes/offsets with a greater variety than esm...

None of the bolt patterns the offer will will for my car, the wheels are the wrong size in both ways and the offset is not as aggressive as I would like.

245's fit easily front and rear on stock fenders, I run them on fd wheels which are 16x8 +50 (20mm adapter in front makes them +30, 25mm adapter in the rear makes them +25).
I'm not sure about the wheels though, I know people have run 17x9 up front but the higher up the coil u go the more room you have (assuming negative camber). You might have to run a small spacer for clearance depending on spring length and culvert design. If that's the case it may push the wheel/tire out past the stock fender.

I am planning on running 25mm overfenders on the front of the car so I am hoping that will be enough to the 245's that I want to run, for right now I am hoping to just roll and pull the rears but if it comes down to it I will find some 35-50mm front fenders and some 25mm rear overs and have more than enough room to run about what ever tire I would like to on those wheels.
