stock rolled fenders

17x8 30+
17x9 35+

will it work with coilovers and what size tire would be ideal?

You won't need to roll the fenders. They'll fit just fine However, the back might need a tiny spacer.

I'd run a 225/45 all around, maybe. Definitely a 225 in the front.

I like these wheels in white , how do they look to you guys? http://www.autornd.com/catalog/produ...3ba93fe904b030

17x7 all around. What would be the Ideal offset for a lowered FC?
Should I just go with a 30 offset? What tiresizes can I fit on theses wheels?

Go with the +30, I'd run a 215 or 225

Larger rims = lower profile tires, not less wheel gap. If your going to run a 7" wide rim(which is fine if your N/A), I wouldn't go any bigger than a 225/50/16.

If you N/A, I'd stay with 225's all around.

235, I dont think you'd need a spacer.

As for Rota's in general, they're good wheels for the price. Unoriginal, but nice. People always hate of them cause lots of Hondas run them (some rice, some not), but you see a lot of Subbie's and EVOs running them too. If they can stand up to getting beat on in rally they can take a pretty good beating.

Personally, I'd got 17" looks better. Go wider than 7" (Stock Vert wheels are 16x7 +45) since these are high quality wheels, might as well go ***** out. I'd say 17x9 +25 all around. But that's just me.

Wheels gap is eliminated by suspension. The ride height will only be lowered with springs or coilovers. If you have the money for volks, you have the money for coilovers. I'd do suspension first, but that's just me.

I'd go with a lower offset, if you can. It might rub.

I'd go at least 7.5. You can fit 8.5 in the front with no fender mods.

A 225/45 would look good.
