Well I believe I'm running 18X8's in the front and 18X10's in the rear.

Seller never exactly specified what size the RIMS are, but I can tell you tire size.

245/40/18 in the front (too tall, rubs... :[ )

285/30/18 in the rear. 40's in the rear would have been better, but if I had 30's all around and lowered her some, that would work well in my opinion.

P.S. "WTF does IIRC mean?"

lol

I've seen 20s on an FD before. Looked like crap but it can be done. Answer you question?


And IIRC= If I Remember Correctly. There you go Yoshi!

Not bad.

Design's not too shabby-lookin' at all. Body kit is a must, though. I like those side-skirts..

Im running 17x9 front and 17x10 rear with a +36mm offset (close but not positive on the offset though). These are not the tallest wheels that you can run on an FD, but its about the widest with the stock suppension. I am running narrow, 255/40-17 tires front and back. Any wider of a tire and and it would be rubbing on my stock springs. If you want to go wider than this a coilover system is a must.

Rim n tire size

I have 18x9-45series in front and 18x9.5-45 in rear and have a c-west body kit all around and they fit perfect except i sometimes get a rub in the front inside of the well but thats only if I turn the wheel all the way.
