FD wheel specs

Hey guys!

so i was reading the spec sheet in the archive above and i was hit with alot of options. Ive sought advice from friends and people on the forum and got plenty of suggestions. And one of my friends asked to see what are the biggest wheels and rubber size i can fit on the stock fenders of an FD without rolling? I was thinking of going 17x9 +45 all around on 255s but i just wanted to see if you guys had any say on the matter!

thanks!

thats a proven set-up. go for it. there is tons of info around here, search it up. take a look in the sponsors section under AutoRND for his Enkei thread. there are some pics in there of 17x9+45's on stock body cars as well as 18x9.5+45 with 265's on stock cars as well.

you can fit up to a 18x10 on a rear with rolling and a 285/30/18, it all depends on offset. I think it's +55 or something. Its the offset all the CCW guys use.



oh and those 255's will fit without rolling, but you might need to run a little extra camber on the front if you have soft suspension (like -1.5 to -2*)

I have the

Matte Black (LTD EDITION) RPF1 18x9.5 +45 in ORANGE,

come through and check em out. I can do you mount and balance too if you want.

I'd run that with 255/35/18, fender roller on site also.
