I've got a set of ZG flares i'd like to try on my FC

Question is the wheel fitment, Rears can poke out about 1.5'' and fronts about 1''

Would 16x10 +15 work with a 255 tire? I "think" it should fit about perfect but i'm not sure

At 17x8 and 17x9 I would be looking in the +25-27 range for the front with 215's. In the back I would be looking around +27-30 and 235's.

That is if you are not going to roll fenders. Lower it a **** ton and slowly raise it up til you don't rub anymore, or until you reduce the rubbing to a point you can live with it.

Might be able to squeeze it with that tire size and camber with the 30mm fenders, but since you have them already, mount them and fit it to the car!

Question

Racing Sparco bolt pattern is 5x114.3 size front: 17x8 +32 rear: 17x9 +39

Looking at buying these, anyone think they would be a bad/good fitment? 225 in the front 245's in back??
