Metric system pwns all.

 

I want MB Battles. I saw a member on here that had a blue s5 vert running what looked like 17s on a lowered suspension w stock fenders. they only come in 17x9.0@+30 or 17x9.5@+15. can anyone confirm this fitment, or know which member it was?

 

+30 wouldn't fit in the front. Unless he had spacers.

 

Number of Bolts: 5
Rim Width: 8
Bolt Pattern(s) (millimeters): 5x114.3
Rim Diameter (inches): 17
Offset: 30

I know this fitment will work but i wanted to space it out with spacer in the rear on my FC. Any recommendations for spacer size for the rear on stock suspension? How much can I space this out?

 

9.5 +15

I'm almost 100% sure.

 

17x10.5, -13 Rear
17x9, +10 Front

 

pretty sick

 

Sorry for the delay, I haven't checked this thread in a while.

I have the wheels, but no tires yet; I'm still going to run 255's.

For now I'm running my Sterns in the front, they're spaced out to about 17mm offset.

Rears I'm running the 17x9 +17's, with 275/40/17 RT615's

I'm running Stance GR+ Pro Coilovers, camber is almost zero for DD duty. There is minimal rubbing, but nothing serious. I imagine rubbing will be non-existent once I'm on the track; where camber is at -2.5 - 8 and the rear's around -1.5.

 

Anyone have a picture of an FC with some Work VS XX? I searched and found nothing

 

i'm looking at the new enkei PF01 rims and im wondering if a 18 x 8.5 with a 30 mm offset would fit in a 88 FC. Tire size of 225 x 40 x 18. Let me know what you think.

 

I want to get a set of Motegi MR118 for my FC, but Tirerack only has them listed for the FD, the specs are :

18x8 with +45 offset

I will be running 225/40 all around.

Will these fit? Do I need spacers? What size spacers? How will the spacers effect handling?

Thanks!

 

Front-
with stock style suspension you will want a +15mm spacer to bring it to 18x8 +30 which is available in the bolt on style that has no downsides besides cost and a tiny bit of unsprung weight. You will have to run a 205 or roll the front fender a bit to fit your 225.

With coilovers some have more or less space inboard than stock so spacer could be thinner bit but +15 is still safe and you will be able to fit a 225 with just the lip rolled under and 1 1/2 deg negative camber or a 245 with 2 1/2 deg negative camber.

Rear-
Will fit fine and fit the 245 but will look sunken. + 15 spacer like front and can still fit up to 245 and look better. More spacer and roll the fender lip under for the flush look.

I say this having run 16x7.5 +30 and 16x8 +30 w/ 225 on stock suspension front lip rolled under, 16x7.5 +30 and 16x8 +30 w/ 245 on coilovers and finally 17x8.5 +30/255 and 17x9.5 +40/275.

 

awesome, thanks. I'll go with the 225 up front and roll the fender. I'll be using coilovers as well, probably the Godspeeds. Hmmm, 245 in the rear, yummy.

 

Work Equip front 18x8.5 +23 225/40 rear 18x9.5 +23 235/40. I am running Stance GR+ coilovers without any camber in the front. I rolled & pulled the front fenders a bit but left the rear quarters as they are. I will be running a small spacer up front since the face of the wheel sits damn near on the calipers. I will be going lower in about two weeks & if need be I will roll the rears. [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

 

I'm going to try to pull off 17x10 +12 all the way around. Can it be done with stock fenders? Thinking maybe 215 or 225/40 up front and 225 or 235/40. I have stance gr+ coils also.

 

235 on 10?

Methinks you have too little tire.

 

Just out of curiosity dose anyone know what offset and front fenders would be needed to fit 18x10's with 255's all the around if its even doable?

 

255/35/18 is what i meant

 

Offset, less than +12 just to be safe. You will need 30mm fenders to fit them most likely. I'm planning to run about the same size in the future, with 265's all around.

 

17x9.5 +15 wheel size all around.

will be running with coilover (Stance).

need advice with tire size for front and rear? Or same size all around?

DD and drift once a while thats what im gonna do.

 

225/40 all around or 225/40 235/40

You may be able to get away with 235, but I'm pretty sure you'll want to roll them. Actually, either way you'll want to roll them.

Sounds like you're getting MB Battles. Nice setup btw. I love my Stance coils

 

Sex

 

Thanks man. Im gonna get 30mm front fender from shine. So, it will sit flush which i believe it will.

Yah, its MB battles. It looks good buy for DD and dont have to worry about curb rash or whatever haha.

 

Would it be safe to assume that 17x7 @any offset can be made to fit with spacers?

 

No, because spacers can't fit a wheel with excessive negative offset...
