Do you have a picture that shows the whole car from a further point?

So will this work?

I have a set of 5z's on order

17x9 +35
17x10 +35

what rubber would work on this w/o rubbing

I'm on Tein S-techs and stock R1 struts.

Would:

255/45/17
275/3017 work?

255/45/17
275/40/17 work?

Not even close. With those springs and non-rolled fenders, you would be lucky to get away with 245/40 and 265/40 tires (it would probably come down to exact tire brand and camber).

Why get +35 on the 17x9 when you can get +43? That'll get you a lot closer.

edit: plus you'll want to go 255/40 if anything, 255/45 is way tall for the front.

This pic is of the rear with a 255/40 on a 10" +35



I could run a 265 with a fender roll and maybe a 275, but it would definitely be close.

I run the same in the front, so it can be done.

Hm, so

17 x 9 +43 w/ 255/40. Would work with rolled fenders
17 x 9 +35 w/ 275/40. Might squeeze in. Especially with coilovers?

I'm thinking about running this exact setup as well. I am on stock 93 touring suspension for right now though, will it work? If not, what springs would u recommend? Car is my daily driver so I'd just want something with a nice drop height and not extremely stiff. Eibachs maybe?

Thanks in advance!

looks good i really love my silver ones, surprisingly. i have some in bronze as well.

rolliing isnt as big a deal as some people make it out to be, at the very least find someone or even a body shop who can do it. with anything wide and under +40 its a good idea.

I'm not sure that a 275 width tire on a 9 inch rim is a great idea.

heres the fn01-rcs with eibachs vs stock suspension like i previously posted.

again...17x9+43

txturbogs

It seems that a lot of us have the same question. I am not interested in losing sidewall strengh.

My setup will consist.

F: 17X9 +43 255/40/17
R: 17X10 +35 265/40/17

For suspension I have Tein Flex coilovers.

However, I plan to increase to 275 on the rear once I get my FEED fenders, same for the front, or just keep it 255.

I'm sure you guys could use those sizes with a fender roll and the right suspension setup. People will tell you they just won't fit, but it can be done.

heres mine..17x10 +25 offset all around. 800 bucks shipped.

AHarada

iTrader: (25)

^^There you go.

Awesome setup. What tire sizes are you running? Any issues?

Those are the offset that I wanted, but the silver ones were backordered for several months.

How come the FDs FN01-RCs have the crazy cool rear concave but the FCs FN01-RCs looks the same as the front? Or does the rear just need to be wider than 8" for the concave, because i'm only looking at 8s.

Mahjik

For that rim, the 'concave look' starts with the 9.5" width rims.

aznpoopy

precisely

with 8" you will get the flat faced FN

question: how will 18x10 +19 fit.? front and rear... i believe the rear will fit fine..

tad worried about the fronts though... how do you guys go lock to lock as this is for a drift car...

will be running 235 or 225/40s probably (yes, it is stretched i know)

Nathan Kwok

There is no such thing as an 18x10 in this wheel. They have an 18x9.5 +35 which should work well with those size tires if you want to stretch them.

im running 235/45/17's. I had to wait for the bronze ones because they only had the silver +25 offsets in stock.lol no rubbing whatsoever in the rear. rolled front fenders w/ stance coilovers. slight toe out with supernow tie rod ends. rubs a bit during initiation of drifts using weight transfer ie: feints, it rubs but doesnt do any damage to fenders or tire.

17x8 +35 - 255/40/17

Nice setup FD3S-K I plan on running those exact offsets/sizes on my white FD.

Where can i get some black lug nuts? Preferably with a lock. That will work with the FN01-RC. Since the stock lugs dont work.
