So I got a deal on a set of fno1rc's I couldn't pass up. The sizes are as follows; 17x9 +35 up front and 17x10 +35 in the rear. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as the most suitable tire size and what kind of spacers I should be looking for. I'm mainly using the car to drift, so I'm wondering if a 235 / 245 combo front and rear would be safe while drifting or if that's stretching it too much? Any help would be appreciated! I'm a noob at this stuff!

 

Right direction:

I've got 235 stretched on a 10.5" wheel and a 225 stretched on a 9.5" wheel.

This is the 10.5" wheel.




I wasn't sure if I was gonna crush my fenders with the wider wheels so my car is riding kinda high in this picture... and dirty. :/



This is the 225 on a 9.5" wheel up front. My offset is a lot different than yours though. +15 all around on mine.

 

Your pics inspired me. I finally got them on. 235 on the rear and 225 on the front. I had to use a 5mm spacer up front and the rear is perfect. Thanks a lot mang!

 

hellaflush!



watch out for curbs...

 

post some pics I love fno1rc

 

Yo.

 

Lovin the fno1rc's on there! Im lookin for a set for mine

 

Thanks a lot man! I love the way they look on the seven's! Good luck mang

 

so basically you're running 17x9+30 in the front? I hope that clears the coilovers. http://www.fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/RT/rims.htm

My brother(Maczpayne) has ran 17x9+24 in the front and it BARELY cleared the coilovers.

And according to fc3spro, you're also going to need more spacing in the rear. Atleast 10mm to bring it to +25

And in the end, you should already have rolled you fenders or else your tires are going to end up looking like cheese

Hope this all helps you

 

Damn that looks really good! I love the look of the concaved faces! Especially on the FNs. I had FNs on my FC 17x9.5 and 17x8.5 but they didn't have that concave face. I have them on my DD too.

 

I traded my 17x9's for some 17x8's and they already had 225/45/17's on them. They fit perfect with a 5mm spacer and the inner lip of the fender hammered in. I have coilovers and the fitment front and back on the inside is really close, but they don't rub, anywhere. No spacer or rolling in the back. Just a lot of negative camber.
