Anyone running 5zigen FN01RC's on their FC's?

Just wondering what size, what tires, offset, suspension, and body you have to fit them. I'm planning on getting a set as somewhat cheap beaters. Pics would be nice too.

John Chow and Henry Schelley. Orange FC and pink FC. I forget their screen names. Henry's sizes IIRC are 17x9 +15 and 17x10 +12. Spacers, not sure. Tire size for him is 235/40/17 and 255/40/17.

Links don't work. I would like the concave look in the rear and i plan on going with maybe 8.5" in the front. The concave is only available in 17 x 10 on the 17's and 18 x 9.5 but i don't plan on going with 18's... I wonder if the 17 x 10 will fit without rolling the fenders or any other modifications to the body.

I ran 17x8 and x9 both +35 with 235 fronts and 255 rears on tein flex and stock bodywork. clearance was plentiful and the car was nicely balanced. those are pretty lightweight sizes for that wheel.

once I moved to the 17x10 sizes I noticed a substantial weight gain, some offsets of the 17x10 are almost 23 pounds and others are just over 21 pounds. thats a far cry from the 17 pound 17x8 size.
