Fitment on an FC?

Spec:
Front: 18"x9" +47offset
Rear: 18"x10" +47offset

Will these fit okay or will I be running spacers?
Possibly have to roll the fenders? Any examples
of someone running the same size/offset on an
fc? Thanks Ahead.

Offset is too high. You'll need spacers for sure. You might get away without rolling your fenders, but you'll need some camber, and that might not be a good thing if you're daily driving and would like to save your tires.

Fronts won't even bolt on, for sure- they're too high of offset. Rears MIGHT bolt on, but I doubt it.

Run 9/10 +20 for nice flushness on stock metal, or 9/10+25/30ish for a bit more wiggle room. It all depends on how much or how little tire you want to run, and your camber and such.

In any case, a 25mm bolt on will bring you to +22, which should be good with 215/225 front and 235 rear, with around -3 degrees of camber all around.

Just make sure you consider the suspension you are running. Various suspensions will change your available backspacing.

My suggestion is to walk away from those wheels and order some for the FC, not the FD.

This will produce much larger lippage for you as well.
