The Official FC Wheel Fitment Thread
I found someone selling 16x7.5+14 and bridgestone grid ii's. I do not have coilovers and I plan to get tokico illuminas and tanabe gf210s. Will there be any fitment issues anywhere? Some help would be much appreciated
What Im currently running on my S4 is the Super Advans SA3 with sizes
Front 18 x 8.5 +32 Tire 225 40 18
Rear 18 x 9.5 +32 Tire 265 35 18
The car is also droped pretty low and it does need the front fenders rolled but fits geat. The rear only rubs when I have the Tein Super Drifts set on a softer setting.
Future plans are to sell these rims and buy some Work Varianza Schwert SC2 in
Front 18 x 9 -11 with a 25mm front fender or maybe 18 x 10 +0 with 25mm fender
Rear 18 x 10 -11 with a 30mm rear quarter panel.

you're not gonna fit much tire under the front at all with that offset and shine fenders. 235 is probably the max with normalish camber (~2*). best bet is mount them first, then get to measuring.
for the rear, i recommend AIT B-Magic fenders. They have wayyy better lines than most cheap overfenders (origin 50mm or whatever), and you can flex them quite a bit to get good fitment (mount wheel/tire, jack them up into the wheelwell a bit, push on fenders until they're herrafrush, then drill holes).
i'm thinking with -7, 255 is probably as wide as you could go on them. maybe 275's if you fit the fender right.
heres a pic
265's, 1.5* camber (at normal ride height), offset is at like +3 i think. tire is jacked up into the car obviously.
when i mounted the fenders i pushed them in a little bit to fit my slicks well, so they would naturally sit a little bit wider.

This isn't the hella flush gangster fitment thread. It's for fitting wheels. All different sizes, offsets and tire sizes. Not everyone likes big meat, big stretch, poke, tucking rim/tire...etc...
When you shave lettering off your sidewalls when your car squats and drag your exhaust on slightly uneven roadways, it's not being a ***** or not being a *****, it's your style.
Trust me, I like it because it's cool and obnoxious but at the same time it really does suck and isn't something for everyone. I promise you that.
I have you beat in lowness and retard spec'd fitments. Why do i say "retard spec'd"?
Because driving on this setup is VERY nerve racking. Not for the feint of heart, people who hate doing body work, people who hate their car making all sorts of crazy noises, people who hate bump steer, people who hate their wheels smacking on **** and rubbing everything, eating holes in their exhaust. If i wanted to, i could call you a ***** and comment on how weak your **** is but i wont because it's far more practical for a street car than my setup....
Stock body?

+15 offset on all four corners.
Bn sports, ride height wasn't changed, just fitment.
The only pic i took of my car i actually like. I suppose taking wet pictures is cheating but w/e.



Every dip in the road makes my ******* pucker up so hard that i can't **** for days. It's stupid. Very.

Just showing my camber.... Excuse the mess. I was busy shaving.
17x9.5 +7 205 40 -3.5 camber
17x9.5 -10 205 45 -4 camber
All metal. Looks like complete **** and any more than 50 percent throttle and the squat is bad enough to actually slow the car down from the rear tire's sidewalls RUBBING on the 1/4 panels. I drive the car daily, live in a town that the state D.O.T. forgot about and do enjoy drifting (although i need a smidge more pull in the rear so i can throw my car in manlier without spinning from the tire drag).
I posted this soley for entertainment. I really dont care what you guys do to your cars. Just know that being stupid low and rubbing your tires on **** might have a certain look to it but it comes at a price and talking **** to people over it is pointless. They're cars. Nothing more.

ok..i think i have asked a few times in this thread already but i think i made a pretty solid decision as long as it works 
17x9 +15 225/45/17 up front
17x10 +25 245/45/17 rear
wheels are 5zigen fno1rc
assuming rolled fenders are a must..also i am on stance gr+..would adjust accordingly to make wheels fit.
Help?

I just ordered a set of wheels.
Front 18x8 +38
Rear 18x9 + 38
I am running Tokico blues and Eibach springs. My question is will the following tire sizes accomodate my wheels, suspension, little to no stretching, and without rolling the fenders?
Front 225/40/18
Rear 245/40/18
Wanted to double check one more time before ordering the tires.
Thanks,

Anyone know if this set up will fit flush w/ out spaces or anything adjustment to suspension.
What size tires would be good to run with these? Something that I won't have to stretch?

Front will need a 1/4" spacer to clear suspension, if you have coilovers. You'll need more if you have OE type struts and springs. You can run 235/40/17 or 245/40/17 up front, and 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 in the rear.
For 'flush' fitment, you'll need to space the wheels out >10mm and roll the lips of the fenders flat - no flare.

I wanna run 225/45/17 on 17x8s with 35mm offset which from what i've read should be fine, but i also wanna lower one inch on lowereing springs. Just taking a look it should be fine but if anyone knows better let me know.
Also. I can't find anyone who wants to sell me 17x8 Enkei Imolas! Any other nice 7 spoke rims out there?
114.3x4 Bolts

Please don't flame me because I have researched and just would like to double check. There are lexus is300 rims on craigslist for $50 with minor curbing. Anyways I wanna make sure they'll fit good. From my research I've concluded that they are all 17x7. I think they will fit, but will they work well? Thanks in advance. I just need some reassurance before I buy them.
thnx macz!.. i will jus order the spacers right along with the wheels but i plan on lowerering the car about an inch, will i have to do any major mods to the body? cuz ive seen sum pretty fat wheels tucked under stock fenders.

You shouldn't have to do anything major, but it would be wise to roll the lips on the fenders just so that the tire has no chance of rubbing on them.
Looking for some insight...
Looking to run Enkei RPF1s on my FC.
I found a new set for $1,000 plus shipping. 17x9 +45 in the front and 18x10 +38 in the rear.
I'm going to be on Stance GR+ coilovers and will get Cusco camber plates for the rear. Looking at running Nitto NT-05Rs in the back and NT-05s in the front. Do you think this is do-able with a fender roll and some camber? What tire sizes are recommended (looking for grip, not necessarily stretch).
