16x8 +35mm and 16x9 +38mm

Anyone put something like that on their FC? and will that rub or not for the rear or front base on tires that being put. Will the wheel+tires works in different type of springs or any clearance with this.

thanks just your opinion.

Really depends on tire size, both will be close to the suspension on the inside. Should be ok with a 225/50/16 front and 245/45/16 rear.

Yes, in the front they give LESS clearance than stock. You'll need spacers and maybe will need to roll the fenders a bit as a concequence if you want to use 225's.

Or there's a $250 Eastwood tool that's essentially the same thing, or you can take your trusty old wood baseball bat and use that to roll the fenders. A tip though, warm the paint with a heat gun or hair dryer first, it'll help prevent it from cracking.

oh man nice wheel size choice!
you will probably make out a-ok but there is a chance you might need a spacer up front, a small thin one but probably not.
