will 18 x 8.5 front and 18 x 9 in the rear with a 42mm offset fit a fc? i am not to concerened about rubbing because i have a widebody kit being installed.

but would would need to be done? i am a newb when it comes to rims and offsets.

would i need spacers or what? if its possible to do and reasonable i will get it professionally done but just wanted to know before i bought the rims

my car is a fc 1990 to be exact.

thanks

It depends on the tire you're running, but the rears are way too tight.

well i am putting a widebody kit on so then would spacers solve my problems?

If I were going widebody, I'd use wider wheels than that, and with the correct offsest, to boot.

Yes, but having the proper offset is a better solution.

NOOOO - do not buy those wheels. You can make them fit with spacers. Otherwise, the fronts will rub against the coils. The back barely clears the suspension. I would not get that offset if I were you.

Hope this helps.

A +42mm ofset will NOT work on an FC with that wide of tire... +40mm is as wide as you can go with any tire....
