First yes I searched and read threads for a week and now I'm about to buy them so i need a little reasurance.

I am pretty sure I'm getting 17x8 +35 All around with 225/45/17 tires. That's what I want to run please dont suggest a staggered setup I just need people who have ran this wheel and size.

I called to order them and Discount Tire Direct told me they won't gaurantee this setup because it will stick way out, so I just wanted to make sure. If they dont fit I have to pay shipping.

I've seen people say it will work but noone who has actually ran it with these wheels. (5Zigen FN01rR-C)

Any pics would be great as well as your experience, rubbing or fender rolling needed?

Thanks a lot,
Ed

 

majority of people run the 17X9 with a +35 offset, thats that i got. and have seen on other wheels, so good luck.

 

From what I've seen most run 17x9 in back not the front.

Anyone running my setup? At least in front?

I'm ordering tomorrow hopefully.

 

They should be fine.

 

Rishie at ARD (ARDT2) recommended a 17x8 + 25 for the front of my car.

The 17x8 +35 should be fine, it might not flush out but you can always throw a little spacer on it.

17x8 in the rear is an easy fit. 17x10 will fit in a +35 so you should have no problem. I am running a 9" wide +40 (Volk Racing) back there right now,

 

anyone have a picture of a 17x10 in the rear (from the rear so that we can see the tires width)?

 

17x9 +40 with what size tire?

 

The 5zigen site says run a 17x8 +35 in front, so I think it will be OK.
Discount Tire Direct is just probably trying to cover it's ***.
I want to rotate thats why I am going with the 17x8 all around. I'm not worried about them not being exactly flush I can fix that I'm just concerened with fitment right now.
Well I guess I'll order them.

Thanks,
Ed

 

it won't stick out at all, i have 17x8 with +25 and it doesn't stick out

 

17x8 +35 FN01R-Cs will fit up front fine. I know a few people who have that setup. I have also seen +25 up front, but cant comment on any issues with that.

 

I woulds rather run it closer to +30 or +28, but lots of people have confirmed +35 will fit.

They only run +35 and +25 in this wheel in th 17x8 so I went with the 35. I figured I could always run a spacer to push it out, but if I run the 25 I'm stuck with what I get.

Ed

 

I would've run the +25.

The only problem you might run into is slight rubbing with the outside fender.
This can be solved by "rolling" the front fender.

The 8" +25 would've looked "nicer" in the rear, as the tire / wheel will sit more flush with the rear fenders.


-Ted

 

Well they are already ordered. Anyway I can always through on a spacer to push out the rear if i want.

I'll post pics once I get them on.

Ed

 

17x8 +35 will fit fine. IMO, it'll be too sunken in. I run 17x8 +25 and there's still room. The front fenders are rolled though and I'm running about -3 degrees of camber. I might throw on some 5mm spacers just to get things a little more flush.

 

Do these sizes apply to the fc convertible as well? I have a chance to pick up the same wheels..it came from his tll but I want to put it on my vert..thanks

 

Yes.


-Ted

 

thanks ted

 

17x10 +12 alla round

heres a pic to prove it fits

 

I think your meaning of "fit" is much different than most...

 

Does anyone else have pics to go with their wheel offsets? this would be a great opportunity to see how the wheels sit with each offset.

 

i think you might be right

stretched tires
hammered fenders
pulled and rolled

....perfectly flush.

 

heres mine with a +35 in the rear.

 

Already wrong...


-Ted

 

what kind of offset would you put in the rear with 17x9s?
