17x10 +12 , lowest offset size for FN01R-C.

Maybe a 10+/15+ mm spacer to be perfect flush
Why run 50 profile in the front?

Why aren't your fender arches cut for the over fenders?

typo with the 50s on the front. should have been 40s. the original fenders where never cut as the rims on it now didnt need anything cut for it to fit.

so with that off set they should be right out in the arch yea>?

My suggestion would be this:

1. Trim or roll the OEM Fender that sits inside the RE-A Arches. You're not really getting extra space from what I can tell.

What size wheel will you run up front? and are you getting Burnout fenders for the front or replacing both front and rear?

I personally don't think your fitment will work on the FD with those tire sizes.

FYI, we ship int'l via USPS no duties. So let me know if you're ordering stateside.

Thanks, Rishie

OK so this is my recommendation for the best handling setup for what you're trying to do:

1. Run 255/40/17 all around so you have even ride height and symmetry

2. Based on what you're stating i estimate you can run:

17x10 +35 Front with 255/40/17 - IN STOCK ONLY 2 LEFT

17x10 +25 Rear with 255/40/17 - ABOUT 20PCS IN STOCK.

PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP CAUSE THE +35'S ARE GONNA RUN OUT.
