Havnt had much time to do anything with the FC lately.. But i did get some wheels for her. They are Enkei NT03+M's... 18x10.5 +30 all the way around. I test fit them before buying them.. they are plasti-dipped flat black.. so the paint will come off pretty easily. may leave them black for now.. but will probably end up white
Rears fit perfect. Probably going to add a 5mm spacer just to be safe, as the clearances on the inner arm and exhaust heat shield are very very close.
As for the fronts....thats a different story. I have 25mm Mariah fenders on the car already, which will help, but im still going to need a 20/25mm spacer to pull the wheels away from the coilover. Have to stretch the tires, and add some camber, which i have plenty of adjustment in that territory.. in the pic of where the wheel is sitting, thats roughly where it will be WITH the spacer.. i threaded in 2 lug nuts all the way to the rotor and put the wheel over it to simulate a roughly 25mm spacer
plenty of canber

Then got a hair up my butt and bought a 1999 Lexus GS400. Wanted to try the luxury side of things. Surprisingly my goal was to just put a good set of coilovers and wheels, and a stereo system, and i actually did just that! Although i did replace a ton of worn or old parts to make it look as new as possible. Really liked this car. It was very comfortable. But got the itch for another Evo...sooooo, SOLD!
Good luck with the new FC. It looks like you have some work ahead of you, but I'm sure you can handle it.
