I haven't seen seen any FCs with those wheels, and I love six spoke styles. I take it, the staggered fitment for the rear will fight fine? As for the fronts, you said they would rub even with coilovers, how much did you have to space them out? For the front they also make them in 17x7.5 in +33 +41 +49 and 17x8 +31 +36 +41 +48 I was also looking at the Gram Light 57Maximum, but they don't appeal to me the way the SSRs do.

ps, has anyone seen an FC with 5Zigen pro racer GN+? I think I like those better than the Gram Lights that I mentioned.

Thanks guys for the help.

 

oh yeah, tire sizes, I was thinking 225/45 all around, or if I go staggered, 225/45 front and 245/45 for the rear, does that sound about right?

 

17x8 +31 will do, and make it 245/40

 

I spaced mine out a 1/4" from +35 plenty of clearance. Nice and flush too :]

 

Thanks for the help guys, those wheels are pricey and I want to get something what will fit. It might be a while before i get them, but I'd rather do my research now then be hasty and have nasty fitment.

Josh, you said 245/40 for the front, what do you suggest for the rear with the stagger? maybe 255/40?

 

oops that was in regard to the rear.
in front, tire size is limited by your suspension setup, and i dunno what you have.
225/45/17 is the safe bet, and you can always go wider in the future.
in your case, i woud recommend the 17x8 +31 all around. 225/45 front and 245/40 rear.
depending on your susp, you can run up to 255 front on that wheel. (i did on tein flex's)

 

Hey I have a question myself now. I use to run 17x8 17x9 +35 offset just fine on my fc. But now i'm curious if i could fit 17x9 +15 and 17x10 +12 with LOTS OF CAMBER.. will it fit with my stock body? itd be recommended to run over fenders. i'm mainly concerned if it will hit my coilovers. it'd more than likely be running same tire sizes i'm running right now or maybe bigger if possible. 225/45/17 255/40/17

 

inner clearance is just fine.
with tires that small, you can get away with just rolling the lips, or maybe a slight pull

 

yeah i was only worried about the inner clearance cause i'm sure with enough camber and my fender roller id make those suckers fit thanks a lot.

 

what are some good light weight wheels? besides rpf1, i like them too

 

Are you looking for a specific style? 5 Spoke, mesh, etc...

In what budget range?

what size?

5zigen FN01R-Cs. They're sorta played out but still a good wheel.

Fitment question! Ive always had a thing for Rota Slipstreams (yes I know they're honda wheels) and I've done some research and I know the hub on the Rota's is smaller than an FC. So, I was thinking if I spaced them out then that wouldn't be a problem.

I was thinking of either 17x8.5 +35 with a 1/4" spacer. Stance GR+ coilovers and stock fenders.

 

? Aftermarket wheels will usually have a hub bore large enough to accomodate any car, so I doubt that they'll be too small for the FC. You'll want to confirm that information with a dealer.

 

I did, that's why I was asking. I think it was like a 48 or something. I can check again.

EDIT: Checked it. The FC is 59.6, the Rota's are 56.1. I would space them out any way because they would probably rub my coilovers at full lock.

 

hi, im new on this forum. this is my first post actually and Im thinking on putting this on my car

elbe rs
front 17x8 +5
rear 17x9 +22
tire size?

or

Impul R1
front 17x8 +32
rear 17x9 +38
tire size?

any input would be helpful.

 

Elbe would not fit up front with stock fenders. The others should fit just fine. I'd run a 225/45 on the 17x8s and maybe stretch that over the 17x9s...

 

how bout a 20 or 30mm aftermaket wide front fender? will it clear out? rear fitment?

 

It might clear, and it should clear in the rear. Do you have coilovers?

 

yes, i have the tein full coilover suspension.

 

Ok, well with wider fenders the elbe should fit

and with a spacer the impul will fit with a spacer.

 

thank you! appreciate the help!

 

i have mazda 6 rims. theyre 16x7 with a +52 offset.....what do i need to do to get them to not rub on stock suspension? tire size is 205/55r16
