16x8 0 offset

Hey Boys and girls.
Looking into picking up some wheels for my fc. Was considering getting some xxr 002 sportmax rims....lol, i know how some of you feel about these but this is MY DECISION no one elses. Anyways i wanted to see how this fitment would look on an fc, so anyone with pics would be a great help. Doesnt have to be the xxr 002 model, just as long as they are 16x8 0 offset.
Thanks for the help guys

These are 16x8 +0 xxr's on jaila05 car, but he has coilovers and has adjusted his camber so that the wheels don't "poke"

I am running Shine wide fenders and stock suspension. I have 17x8.5 +25 and 235/45 and have just enough clearance. I have not, however changed the camber. I couldn't run a 0 offset as is though.

Jailas car is hot. on the fence with that style of rim though. Just think the 002 looks alil more aggressive. Was planning on powder coating the rims all one colour. I have a black t2, so something less flashy than the obv red/polished lip.. maybe a bronze or a watanabe style gunmetal.

Here they are on my car in real life. I hope to god you reconsider buying them. Good news is i sold mine exactly for what i paid for them so no loss. w00t.






Yeah, that's 16x8 0 front AND rear. Shitloads of front camber and a little bit in the rear. Front fenders are pulled so far it's rediculous.

What made them so bad that you had to sell them? i get that they are copies and not authentic rims, but really were they that bad??
I have a vision painting them one solid full colour. Im leaning towards gunmetal or flat blck an imo it should look good with some camber/pull/roll

Because i'm crazy drifter noob and after seeing one dip into a mellow pothole and crack where the spokes meet the faux multi piece seam, i had to let em go. I'd rather my wheels bend than lay the car on the ground....

Oh, yeah....and this. I flipped a coin and decided to get bn over gp/origin so for asthetics, they also had to go but it was more or less because of safety and me being overly paranoid AND a shitty driver.

They look alright (depending on how your car is styled) but the downside is they aren't exactly strong..... I probably wasn't clear with my post.

I'm not trying to **** or argue. Just help. I'm not going to tell anyone, "HEY, DONT BUY THESE. THEY'RE THE WORST EVER" because they're not. Alot of people run them obviously but if you drive serious and PUSH PAST your limits, these are the last things you want to fail on you. I was going to use them for drift spares but felt uneasy even about that. For a street car, they'd be fine.


Edit: 50 series tires look ***. Those are 205 50's. I wished i had gone 45 series with stock body when i first put em on.

Good to know. If i do end up getting them id prob go with a 45 series tire. I dont really push my car too hard anyways, and wouldnt use them if i took the car to the track. Have heard and seen many horror stories with these kinda rims.
Car looked great and had a great stance! Great job

Yes, they definitely protrude beyond the fenders.
