Im lookin at possibly getting a set of 17x7" et 45 rims for my fc. These are 3 piece rims so my plan is to have them re-barreled on the outer lip 2" in front and 3" in rear. I'm planning on running a full body coilover , will I run into any fitment issues? Any insight or recommendations would be helpful

I believe there is a thread on wheel/tire fitment, but how low do you expect to lower your car? I know for my fd rims (16x8 50mm offset) I need to run 20mm spacers in order for them to "fit." Also, depending on how low you have your car you may need to do something with your fenders (roll them or get wide fenders).
I was told that it is good to roll with a set up like this: 17x9.5 +40mm in rear and 17x8.5 +30 in front. Not sure on tires but yeah.
Good luck

 

Thanks for the help..I tried to look in the second gen section but came up with no luck finding a fitment question thread. In planning on lowering in the 2" range.

I would say you are more likely to have inner clearance issues. Wheel/tyre Rubbing on the shock or not being able to bolt on at all.

 

This is not going to be mounted on a strut type suspension, only will be used on a full body coilover. Does anyone know the stock wheel width and offset of a turbo 2 rim?

Update: wheels clear the factory strut...time to send them out for a rebuild!
