I think I saw pics of an FC with S2000 rims...not bad. Anyone else know what other OEM rims will fit our FCs AND look nice?

Obviously... I think that's why hes asking though, because of offset problems.

i know mustang rims and 240 (at least 98 year models, etc) do fit, my friend with his 240 has switched wheels with all sorts of 7 rims and we've put some of his mustang and 240 rims on my car, no problems seem to come with the 240 rims on the 7, just stuff like needing spacers with mustang rims on the 240, but that's not what we're worried about

Gt Mustang Rims

GT mustang look really nice (look at my picture of my gtus, powdercoated gold). S2000 are pretty pricy for that price you can get some pretty ok rims, and they are only 16" unless you get the 05 that is 17" and maybe the 04. My dad has a g35 i believe the 7 spoke they are 17x7.5 and 17x8.5. Not sure about the off set but im goin to try to see if they fit CORRECTLY. But GT mustang rims are nice i got mine for 150 with tires then got rid of the tires and got S-03s for 100 and powdercoated them myself. 225/45/17 and 245/40/17 are the sizes i have, 235 in the front but they might go over your fender and not very pretty to look at. 255 i believe will fit nicely making it a little behind the fender. But if your car is pretty low you might need to roll your fenders to make them fit. but what i have is perfect. Check out the picture and tell me you dont like how it looks. 17" rims with S-03 rubbers, powdercoated gold for $250 and are pretty light rims. (some pplz say 17 some say 20, forgot to weigh them so yah.)

^ how wide are the GT rims? no spacers needed for them to fit? i love my FD wheels but i hate using spacers up front to make em fit, which makes em stick out too much and out back its tucked it, looks kinda goofy, but they do look good. however i wouldnt mind selling them and getting some GT rims... they fill up my fenders nicely, especially in the back.

either that or get spacers for the back wheels to even it out.

^ how wide though? my friend has a stang GT auto that he is building into an SCCA autox car, hes willing to sell me his wheels which are in great condition, so its tempting. im going to mount them to see how they look / fit.

According to this info, which I linked to on my web page it's 30mm, but that's pretty much the same thing: http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/2000_specs.html

evo rims might fit but they cost a lot. Minus well just buy brand new rims for the cost of those.
