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?

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?

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.

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.

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]

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
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.
