so what woud be the best offset to run on my fc to look FLUSH? post sum pics so i can see... thanks everybody!

 

Depends on the width of the wheel. And your definition of 'flush' (truly flush, sticking out with tons of camber, etc...).

But the width of the rim has to be known before anything can happen. All stock FC wheels are +40, for reference. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

 

Yeah I got 17x7 with an offset +42 and it hit the front springs. I've seen some 17x8 with +35 and they look flush

 

I'm running 17x7 +30 with 225s and its flush And with how low I am right now with my dampiners turned down it rubs pretty bad on my tires so I need to do just a little fender roll

 

17x8 +35 is near OEM fitment. You'll need more offset for flushness.
Here's my old FC on 17x8 and 9, +35 all around. Tires are 235 and 245/40

 

I am very happy with 17X8 front and 17X9 back, both +35

Sorry, no pics.

 

17x8 (215/45) + 22,

17x9 (245/45) + 27.

Not camber'd on purpose, just natural camber from lowering springs. I actually want the back to stick out more. Probably gonna go 225/45 - 255/45 when i can afford it =D

 

i have +36 18X8.5F (235/35R18) 18X9.5R (285/35R18, now they are 275width but still fit the same)

don't have pics but they are flush with minimal rubbing w/o flaring.

i call BS on ted's writeup or my car is just roomy in the wheel wells for some odd reason.. everyone seems to claim FCs can't fit a 285, which is also false.

 

im running 255 on the rear of my fc, my tires are actually tucking under the fender well so I don't know. The Front 17x8 + 35 on 225 im sitting kinda flush, but im running like -0.75 camber in the front.

 

there is obviously some fitment issues in the front but that is mainly due to the width of the coil springs. coilovers are the best thing i could have done to get some more meat under the car.

 

I am on stance coilovers, I mean I can run more negative camber, but the alignment shop that I brought to re-adjusted my settings. I am seriously thinking about getting a self-alignment kit (water level).

That's all I could find atm

 

doesn't really show the side view ya nerd

but you can see my awesome stock catback!

 

You can kinda tell you aren't Mexiflush.

And I almost didn't want to post that pic. Your car isn't pic worth with that shitty catback. Put the Borla back on!!!

 

third time i heard this term today

 

+24/25 is the lowest I would go without modding fenders or getting over fenders.

You can fit a 9" wheel all around.

 

17 x 8, +20 with 235/45 fits very nicely in the rear, 17 x 8, +30 with the same tire, works in the front.
17 x 9, +30 with a 255/45 also works on the rear.

 

its the opposite with mine, tein flex.. there was more room for the tire with the stock shocks, because the perch was higher. the tein spring is longer and it hits the tire if too wide

im running 16x8 with 31mm offset, 225 tire and there is only about 4mm tire clearance at the coilover. 35 offset would not fit

 

Tein's have a nice feel to them but their fitment is garbage. i had to reclock my old s-tech springs because they had less clearance than my old OEM's.

 

flush ?
17x10 -20 (thats a negative)

looks flush to me

 

17x8.5 -6 here

 

Crown Vic meshies. 16x7 +0 Flush in the front, I needed a 5mm slip on spacer to clear T2 brakes. Rears need like an inch spacer. Thats how I did it. 205/50/16 front. 225/55/16 rear with rolled fenders. If I had smaller tires most likely it would have fit without modifying the fenders so much. Check out the blog in my sig has a big pic of my car.
