Will they fit? Wheel are 17x8 in the front 17x9 in the rear.


Also, are the ebay spacers any good?

Way too much offset for the front. Rear is far from optimal. I have 17x8 +40 all around and 215/45-17s in front only barely works with stock suspension. Running these with Eibach springs needed a spacer to clear.

I sorta figured, I saw the spacers that come without the studs on ebay for like 20$ are they any good?

You're going to want to run at least 20mm spacers all around.

If you want to get some over the stud type spacers then just get some Mr.Gasket or Cragar ones from Summit, they're cheap and well made. You can't generally find any over 1/2" though, and you really should be using more on the front at least. You'd need longer studs, and in the rear that means taking the hubs off, which basically means wheel bearings (if they're original it might be a good idea to do them anyway).

Your best bet is to get some QUALITY spacers with studs in them already. Rishie at AutoRnD should be able to hook you up. I'd steer clear of the cheap eBay ones, as they've probably got inferior, much less strong studs in them which could lead to breakage.

Ok, thanks. I was actually looking at these ones from TougeFactory.

Those look like ichiba spacers and honestly not sure if the studs would work on the FC.

From the research I've done you gotta buy a Lexus/Toyota 60.1 centerbore spacer, and then purchase ARP studs separately from a camaro or something.

I can supply you the same product but they are showing a Nissan Application. Talk to me once you buckle down and decide what route you are gonna go. i know you've got a lot on your plate to sort out.
