your going to need 5 mm spacers

you will need less offset for the front... the rears should be fine


take a look at the official wheel fitment thread in the tires and wheel section where this thread should be moved to

nah 17x8 with 35 should be fine

if you re read his post, he states that he knows that 8's will work in the front... but he wants to know if 8.5'will with a 35 offset.. and i know that my 17x8+35 where very very very close to the strutand therefore the 8.5 will more then likely rub

I tried them with koni yellows/springs and G.E.T. coilovers... both were cardboard close.. but that was a 17x8... not a 17x8.5 which will be sheet of paper close if not touch

I know its not constructive, but honestly...18's look terrible on the FC.

i got 18 x 7.5 x 35 in da front and 18 x 9.5 x 35 in the back, i have a 5 mm spacer in the front because it sits really close to the strut, but now it sits perfectly flush with the fender lol, in the back is alll clear

i'd be careful about the front because 18's are a bit bigger so it sits closer to the bottm of the spring holster... lol

Very common offset and width, but this is dependent on what size tire and what kinda struts you're using up front.

8.0", +30 would be a safe spec.

I put money the 8.0", +35 will hit the inside fender well on full lock on anything wider than a 215 tire...

Thanks! I think they'll look even better with it lowered a bit.



18X8 +38mm F 225/40
18X9 +38mm R 275/35

I wish I could get wider fronts but anything bigger will rub with the stock suspension.
