They look fine to me. Not everyone needs racing/namebrand wheels, especially for an FC. I'd prefer seventeens though.

18's are too much unless you got some heavy suspension mods.
17's are the wheel that everyone goes with for a reason.

But...
I'd look at Motegi Racing wheels because those and Volks are ******* beautiful.

It would help if the dumbfuck vendor would post OFFSET specs for their wheels!

Sorry, but we can't answer your questions.
You need to contact THEM to see if they fit.

if they are for front wheel drive cars...the offset is probubly -40...... which is good for the front, but the back will look a tad funny..... mine were motegi mr4's 17x7 w/ -40 offset and that was my problem.......... too much gap in the rear...... i now run 17x8 rota torques w/ a -30 offset....and they are flush w/ the car

oh, and my car was slammed!!!!! but i had the fenders rolled when i got it painted.... so thats probubly why it didnt rub
