so as the title says i need suggestions as to what size wheels will fit our cars. i have an 88 NA and im getting a 5 lug and lsd swap very shortly. what size rim is recomended, what offset should i get, whats the widest tire that will fit under the car?

 

Holy crap search.

 

post pics of your car.

and the only rims that will fit are the ones i'm selling for 150 with good tires. nothing else.

 

Since this subject has been discussed a zillion times, you're not going to get much help from anybody unless you ask a more specific question and tell everyone what your goals are.

1. How do you use the car? Track days, autocross, drift, daily driving, show, etc.?
2. Keeping stock fenders or adding wider ones?
3. What suspension? Stock or coilovers, etc.

To get some general ideas of what people have done in the past, you might want to start with the "Official" FC Wheel Fitment Thread, but it is over 100 pages long and has been going on for over six years, so be prepared:

stock wheels fit great!

 

24s

im serious.

 

14" DAYTONS
im serious too.

 

To fit in around here you'll need some 18x12" -47 offset wheels with 195/35 tires.

 

^ thats a nicely stretched tire :P

 

that 100+ pages of the official fc fitment is some bs there is like maybe 3 pictures......... we need a picture AND specs thread. and also the thread is so old most pictures are erased and all you see is "this image is not available"

/rant

lol talk about a sales pitch. Id buy them.

I used to have a set of those on my old 89 caprice... ballin

 

I wanna put some of these on a Candy Lime Green 1983 Honda Civic with an Ultra ultra plush peanut butter interior, and slam it on some airbags.

 

daytons would look pathetic on a rx-7... unless well never mind i don't wanna **** nobody off I'm sure y'all know what i mean lmfao

 

...

 

The fuzzy hood props are a sweet touch.

 

Rough Estimate:

Fronts:
17-18" diameter
8" wide
0 to +40 offset

Rears:
17-18" diameter
8-10" wide
0 to +45 offset

Ideally +20 offset should get you pretty flush without stretching/poking too much. Of course tire sizes are also going to make a difference.

 

this subject is subjetive to how you use the car, form over function or are you in for performance?

I always went off Ted's page as a guideline, but of course you have those who get wheels to "fit"

these are more conservative http://fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/RT/rims.htm

 

^ Is Ted assuming you're running coilovers?

 

read the page and see

 

Stock, got it.

 

just save and do a motor swap before you do anything else man, trust me

 

SUPER SICK!

 

^^^ I love how even the gas cap is open.... and "suicide door" style

 

The convertible top and hood should open suicide style, otherwise it defeats the whole purpose.

As for TED's website with fitments, go with that, he doesn't make that stuff up.
