WA XXR 527 on FC3S

Hola guys.

Newb looking to get some wheels.

I've been sort of drooling over the 527s since I saw a S13 floating around WA with a set.
So I'm thinking 17x8.25 +25 wrapped in 225/45R17. Anyone know if I'll have any fitment issues at stock ride height or once I slam it after the new year? BTW anyone got pics of their ride with these wheels? I wold prefer black S4 with gold wheels but right now anything would do since the only photos I can find are of the 18s.

You should be all good either way you go. I am running 17x9 +19 and didn't have any problems on stock or lowered.

With stock TII wheels being 7" wide with a +40 offset, this would move the wheel out an additional 31mm. You'd probably have to roll the inner lip on the front fender to prevent catching it on the tread. The rim face will also stick out a little bit from the car.

I have a set of 17x8" +30 wheels, which sit in 8mm more than those, and they're about as far as you can go without doing fender work.

That's an extra 46mm out from stock position. The only way that's working in the front is with tiny tires or lots of camber (or both).

235/40. I just flattened the inner fender lip. It sticks out a bit, I haven't had a chance to put my coilovers. The rears fit perfect. 235/45.
