i'm assuming not since they're 10's in the back, but what about 9" ?

I'm pretty sure you can fit 10" rims in back. I've got 9's on 41 offset with more than a half inch between the rim and the spring, and it easily fits under the fender lip, 245 tires and all.

I give you a hint...
The Nissan S13's run the same kind of offset.
If it fits on an S13, it'll fit on an FC.

Watch it with the bolt pattern though.
Most S13's are 4 x 114.3!

hey Ted,you sure about that? I'm no expert but I would be more inclined to a +35mm offset in the back,unless the plan is on rolling the crap out of the wells and using a 255/40 tire or using overfenders.Even with the +35 you would need to roll the fender lip with a 275/40 tire and it's getting real close to the trailing arm also.

I had those same sized, same color fn01r-c's on my fc, and they didnt fit, but then again, i did have a 285r, 255f. The fronts stuck out way too much, and the rears rubbed against my springs. They would fit with spacers though, you would prolly have to roll your fenders and maybe do a slight pull in the rear.

I have 17x8 and 235/40's on my front and they BARELY fit with a 5mm spacer on 40mm offset.

I doubt those will fit up front unless you got some wide fenders to work around or kept the width to around 235/225.

I have those rims in bronze with 245s on 17x9 +15 in the front and 255s 17x9 +35 in the rear. I have 20mm wider fenders in front and coilovers.

I answer in the affirmative to confirm the rims will clear the inner suspension parts.
I didn't confirm if it was going to clear the fender arch. :P

It depends on the tire width, as you mentioned.

those fronts are stickin out wayy too far... back looks perfect though... you said they were 17x9 +35?

i really woulda gone with 8's in the front unless you have some more room by the springs, maybe coulda gotten a bigger offset?

A slightly lower offset in the rear would get the look I think he wanted, maybe both +15mm....I agree on the stance thou...fronts look a bid wierd.

what is your exhaust setup?

I'm running a 3" downpipe to a 3" test pipe then I plan to have custom pipes bent back to the supertrapps. (this is on a turbo)

I think the front wheels were turned a little. The fronts are actually tucked into the fender a little. The Supertrapps are quiet and have a good tone (they sound kinda like my granny after she eats a burrito).
