17x10's
I was wondering if these wheels ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5ZIGE...spagenameZWDVW ) will fit on my FC. I beleive it is lowered and has tein coilovers. If you would suggest to run these wheels what tires would be good? i want SOMETHING that will hook decent on the street and strip!

the 17x9 +15 up front will fit with camber and a stretched 235 tire.
the 17x10 +12 out back will poke out of the wheel well a lot, almost an inch so you cannot fit a beefy 275 tire unless you roll the lips to provide a flare with an inch of clearance (or run a lot of negative camber.. bad for straight line traction)
you should hold out for a +35 in the rear if you just want to fit a 275 and only hammer the fender lips flat.
you can run a +25 and nicely fit a 255 tire right at the edge of the lip and it looks great and a 255 on a 10" wheel is a nice fit and has a fat footprint while keeping the overall tire height much smaller than most 275 tires can.
a 275 will fit on a +25 if you roll the fender lips to get a little bit of a flare or you cut away material and go with a corksport over fender in the panspeed style.

That offset will look like **** without a proper sized tire, I'd say atleast a 275. unless you're into that stretched tire ****. I'd say keep looking for a higher offset around 35.
PS: I run the 17x10 +12 So I know what it takes to make it fit. The tires will rub unless you stretch your fenders. Just take my advice
