I just got a FC and I am getting it up for specs. The Tein Flex coilovers are on order. I don't mind rolling the fenders.

I am looking at the Enkei RFP1 which are pretty resonable price for the weight.

How does these sizes sound or a combo of them

17X8.0 35mm offset
17X8.5 30mm offset

Thanks for the help.

 

It's gonna be pretty tight up front, so tell me how much camber you want to run. We have this setup on my friends car. it gets real close to the damper, preventing adequate negative camber.

17x8 +35
17x9 +35

Pretty close the the lower shock bracket collar. Run a 225/45/17, not a 235/40/17. This will allow for more negative camber.

I'll see if we can take a pic of it tomorrow. You can go with 9 in rear tho.

 

A 17x8 in a 35 is going to be very tight, but may work ok since you will be running coilovers, which Im assuming are a smaller diameter than the stock coils? Im running a 17x8 in a 32mm offset up front, with a 235/40r17 tire, and I can barely squeeze my finger between the tire and the spring.

 

I don't have much experience yet setting up a FC suspension yet. I plan to start with -1 up front at first and take it from there. Hell I still don't have my FC yet, I have the title and 8k in parts ready to go on it.


So the rears are no big deal with that size and off set and its going to be close with the fronts, how much room do you think I will have to go out with the wheels from the coilover struts? If it gets too tight I could run 5mm spacer or something.

What does everyone else like to run on the alignment side of the house anyway?

 

I run a 235 on a 17 x 8.5 +40mm w/ Tein Flex's and 1 deg NEG and it doesn't rub at all.... 275 on a 17 x 9.5 w/ +38mm and 1/2 deg neg.... oh the wheels are Enkei RPF1's

 

Great information. What are the specs on your tires and how low do you have you car?

 

why not go with something same size front and rear? 17x8.5 +25?
