There is a wheel fitment thread that covers this as well as reteds site.

I'm pretty sure they will fit maybe a roll on the back.

the offset of the front seems good for a FC

Post the Offsets and i will tell you for sure if they will fit.

from the pics is really hard to tell but i think its in the 15-35 offset range
and the rears are prob 25 or 30 they should fit with coilovers and a pull and roll

if you dont have the offsets and you can't test fit them then your best bet is to get back spacing... search google for how to measure backspacing

the rear back spacing is about 6" that will leave you a 1/4" to the trailing arm

the front depends on the suspension, stock type setup is just under 5" and coilovers will be about 5 1/4"

all of this also depends on tire sizing as well

if your going for a maximum fitment then i suggest test fitting them

I might meet up with the guy tommaro and toss em under the car to see how they fit. my cars on stock suspension at the moment but , real thought is to slap these on the project car w/coilovers. from my reesearch i have found 17x9's with +32ish. nothing on 18x9's.
Also found a good buy on some super advans 17x9 +30 offset.

from what i have read. the 25-30+ offsets are flush with stock fenders.
He sold those sparcos yesterday.
SO the advans with the +42 offset, any idea if they would fit?

I still don't understand why 90% of FC owners go to this guy for wheel fitment.

I just figured the op wanted some safe bolt on acceptable guidelines.


Personally, i just cut and weld around the wheel.
