Need sugggestions from FD wheel Gurus

OK, I finally decided on getting g-games 77W 2-piece wheels on my FD, 18X8.5 in front and 18X9.5 in back. What would be my best bet for offsets and tire sizes, that would give the least rubbing issues? The car is lowered a bit and I still have stock brakes( I may upgrade later though). Any help would be appreciated.

Ryan

There's no application for the FD.

And BTW, those 77Ws are some ugly *** wheels.

I got this chart for the 2 piece:

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...odelName=77W_V

According to this chart it says I should go with an offset less than +45 ( columns A and B). But I do not intend to roll the fenders.

If you are set on those wheels, then the best size/offset would be:

front: 18x8.5, B-disk, +42 offset, 235/40 18 tire
rear: 18x9.5, C-disk, +40 offset, 265/35 18 tire

Personally, I agree with Speedking re: aesthetics....

They look nice... I'm not crazy about the gaps in the center sections outer edge. But, not bad, def not ugly.
