This is razmus fc. he runs a 17x9 +0 all around. A 17x 10 +20 will be sunken in -7 degress.

+1 you should only have about 1 degree of camber in the rear, maybe a little more.

that looks worse than my car and I'm at like 3.5 degrees and it sucks, the rear end is all over the place on an auto-x course.

what are you offsets on those wheels? it looks like your rear is too low, you might not be able to fix your camber and have it still fit...

I saw some wheels that Sen2two is selling. He doesn't have the offset but they are 16x9.5 Enkie 92's.
Think I could fit them without going with wide fenders?
what tire would you recommend?
Thanks guys

Found a set of old school Volk Daytona's.. wondering if they'll fit my Fc, completely stock suspension setup and body. (well besides turboII hubs and brakes)
They're 17x8.5 with a +35 offset.

I want to get some wheels that are 17x8 ft and 17x10 rear. What offset would i need to keep them from sticking out too much. I dont plan to slam the car im just gonna lower it alittle. Ive seen alot of setups on here but i want to know if theres gonna be any problems if i go that wide in the rear. Any suggestions?

I'm looking at getting the same set up. After quit a bit of research I think it would be best if you tried something like a +10 offset on the rear with tire stretch and a rolled fender it should fit.

But the best thing to do would be to buy the rims how you want them and make them fit. The car is the canvas, not you. Don't submit to something that looks like it can't be done. MAKE THAT WHEEL FIT!!!! THAT'S WHY ITS CALLED FITMENT!!!!

so just using this as an example. if i had a 17x8 wheel and a 17x9 wheel with the same offset of +30 would the 17x9 wheel be half inch wider both sides or would the 1 inch be added to the inside or outside?

half inch wider on each side.
the offset is the distance from the hub to the center of the wheel.

No, +24 is the minimum for 9" wheel up front. IDK about stock struts might need less.

Then why did you ask if you're so sure? I have Tein coilovers and run a 17x8 +35, and I'm pretty close to the suspension.

Sounds like you both are talking about the same thing. If you still have not ordered your rims I would select a wider offset, getting as far away from the strut as I can (without it looking funny)

Buy the rims how you want them and make it fit like I said earlier (thats why its called fitment) don't leave yourself with no room next to the strut when you know you could have just got a wider finder, then you get mad because the rims don't fit.

Get something outrageous and make it fit
