any ideas?
I think you are in the wrong thread... this is the offical FC wheel fitment, not the FD

would 17x9 FN01-RC's +35mm fit at all corners with spacers? I have spacers for another set of 17x7 wheels on there (don't remember what size the spacers). I would run 225/45/17 in the front and 255/40/17 in the rear.

9" wide +35 in the front won't work, you would need about a 1/2" spacer to clear the strut

it will really depend on the strut/coilover used as well as tire size

I need help trying to find 4 lug fc wheels.
I have some VOLK GTUs from '91 that I am restoring that are 4 lug and the correct offset/size for an FC or Sylvia.

16x7 +30 and 16x8 +30.

looked like this before


so far I had the centers powdercoated, but have not cleaned the hardware and restored the rim hoops yet.

Same color as my other VOLKS


PM me if interested in purchasing them before I finish the restoration and ask more $$ for them.

I've got a set of Mazdaspeed MS01's

17x8 +35
17x9 +34

How flush will they be to the outer edge of a standard bodied FC?

If you have them, why don't you just mount them and see if you like the fitmit or not?

With a stock bodied fc would it be safe to run 17x7.5 +25 FR with 205/40/17 and 17x9 +20 RR wirh 225/40/17. Should i be able to clear everything?

You'll clear. Why not run a 17x8 +35 up front? +25 might fit too...

I'll admit I don't know **** about offsets so asking for help/advice. I'm wanting to widen the 15x6.5 Vert BBS rims to 8" in front and 9" in the rear. Anyone willing to offer advice on the offsets for this?

Yeah I know the front will definitely clear. The rear should be fine.

If your on stock unrolled fenders, i'd stay within the +25 to +35mm offset range for the front and rear.
