Finally got my set of FN01R-C Hot, 17x9JJ +35 and 17x10JJ +35, 255/40/R17 RT615 all round, they do not rub at all with my current ride height, and if i drop it any more the front tires may rub the plastic fender liners, if i could choose again i will use 275/40/R17 for the rear.

After:

Front wheel at turn:

Rear wheel fitment:

okay from reading i think i should get 17x10 5zigen fn01r-c bronze color for all four with 255/40 front tire and 275/40 back.

I am lowered with Koni adj to lowest perch with R1 springs=1" lower than stock i think.

question is what offset? think i need +25 rear and +35 front?

also would i need to roll?

what offset would i not have to roll?

If you have rolled fenders you can do it.

Hoping I can get some recommendations on fitment.. I happened to find a member's setup (jbust) over @ rimtuck.com that was running on stock fenders/no roll...

IMO it looks like it sits just about perfect and is the look I want to achieve.

His wheel specs are:
Front: 17 x 8 +35 - 235/45/17
Back: 17 x 10 +35 - 255/40/17







Personally, I'd like to run a bit more meat up front/rear because I am planning on doing some auto-x and moving up from there.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

A better fitment for "grip" would be:

17x9 +43 with 255/40/17
17x10 +35 with 255/40 or 275/40

However I still believe you need to roll the rear fenders depending on your camber settings.
