will 18X9.5 18x8.5 32 offset fit on my fc?
i want the widest wheels possible... if i need to get wider front fenders i will...
but the rears staying the same

please let me know if anyone knows for a fact these can fit.
thanks !

you will need closer to a +22 offset to clear suspension in front so you can run longer lugstuds with a slap-on spacer and some wider fenders to get a healthy wide tire up front. longer lugstuds are easy to install up front and those spacers are cheap.

you can run up to a 275 on that rear wheel / offset with some fender lip rolling.

I have 17x8.5 +32 on my car.
All the way around.
You willll need wider fenders.
The tire up front sticks out about 12 mm past the fender.
No suspension clearance problems.
That rear will stick out to probably.
Mine sits nearly flush, and that extra inch will add alot.
You will probably need to roll the rear.

That extra "inch" is added over all so it'll only be 1/2" sticking out farther and 1/2" sticking in farther, not a whole inch added to the outside wheel. My 18X9.5 35 with 265/40/18 fit flush, no clearance problems in or out wiht stock untouched fenders.

theres a few who run 18X8.5 30 offset and a 225/40/18 wihtout rubbing. Maybe a slight fender roll.

True, thanks for the clear up.
I know very little about rim offsets and sizing.
I just know what i have.
Hope i didnt confuse anybody.

I'm running 18x8 +8(30mm bolt-on spacer to clear my coilovers) and 18x9 +38 on my FC without rubbing problems, I don't believe my guards have been rolled at all, but they may have been in the past.

The rear will definitely sit outside the guards by around 15mm.

Unsure if the front will need a bit of rolling, but wide fenders won't be needed - Some negative camber will help though.

you will probably need a roll in the rear im running an 18x9 with a plus 15 offset and i barely need a roll in the rear heres a pic best one i got right now

All stock suspension the front have to have the spacer's with 5/16 it is very close to the springs with out they hit, the rear do not need spacers but i added them any way (THE PICS ARE WITH OUT THE REAR SPACERS), i also added the arp studs all the way around they had to be added in the back with the spacers(fyi u have to press apart the rear wheel bearing if u add the studs), the front could get buy with out them but it is close, the front with the 235/40 will clear for the most part but will hit the fender if u hit a big bump fenders need to be rolled or smaller tires put on.
Note:
the mr gasket spacer are junk the will cause a out of balance condition unless u can get them on centered cause the the lug holes are not centered!
ANY ONE KNOW WHO MAKE'S SPACERS SET UP TO WORK WITH THE 5 LUG BOLT PATTERN W/O THE WOBBLED OUT HOLES (SAME AS A MUSTANG)?

specs
Front Tires 235/40/18
Rear Tires: 245/40/18

FRONT : 18*8.5 38 deg offset 5/16 thick mr gasket #2371 spacer = 30mm deg offset
REAR:18*9.5 38 deg offset 7/16 thick mr gasket #2372 spacer = 27mm deg off set

those will fit, and under the stock fenders, depending on what size tire you run.
might need a small spacer for the front to clear the suspension.... ~5mm at most.
