Will an 18x7.5 inch wheel with a 50mm offset work on an FC?

 

Tires will be too tall in the front, rims will fit fine.

 

Ya i figured tires wouldn't work. But cool. Saves me some money in the mean time.

 

I tried to mount a 195 on a 10... fail, I'll try again tomorrow, pics soon!!!

 

 

hahaha yeah I know, a buddy of mine got it on today, your reply ^^^ made me laugh, that says it all... It will work no prob...

 

i dont hate "hella flush" fitments but i thought this was pretty funny.

I got 18's now 9.5 and 10.5 with o offset and -25 offset.
What tires work with 18's thinking 225/40 and 235/ 40

 

Found a sweet deal on a set of regamasters 17x8.5 +25 all around. I have KYB GR2's. according to fc3spro.com they should fit. I just want to know for sure before I buy em. They need tires so I can throw whatever i need on there to make'm fit. I've spent about 2 hrs searching an im fed up of looking thx.

 

Go to tyrestretch.com and have fun!

 

225/45/17? up front? If i gotta try and fit a 205 or something dumb like that im not going to get them. Thx

 

205 is a baby stretch on a 8.5 have you looked? Its better to have a little stretch on the front to contour to the finder there is not a lot of room to roll it. I'm contemplating 10s all around, now thats something to calculate poindexter. You'll be fine... Most people think that if they do even the lightest stretch there tire is going to fall of. and a 225 on a 8.5? I think your going to need to roll your fender ether way. Plus I thought that wheel fitment (in general) was to get rid of the wheel gap from the stock rims to shape out the car.

 

195 plus shipping a handling lol.... on a 10, relax, I've seen AE86s flying sideways on the track (10in_195/55/15) and roads with no prob. I think I can at least drive in a straight line lol

 

i am in the process of re-finishing a set of mid 90's work equips.
all four are 17x9 with a +35 offset.
for the rears i wanted to go with maybe a 255 or 265
as for the fronts, i am unsure. i wanted to use a 245 but according to this thread they will rub on the front. with this offset do you think i will have much trouble?

 

The front will hit suspension for sure, especially coilovers. You will likely need a 15-20mm spacer to make it work. You will need to run camber, pull the fenders, and rock a 215/45/17 up front unless you get wider front fenders.

The rear you can do up to a 255/40/17 no problem.

Here is what I'm planning to get:

17X8 +35mm
17X9 +35mm

I was told by many people that this would fit perfectly.

Anyone know what is the max/min offsets are for 9" rims in the back? Some of the wheels that I'm still looking at has bigger offsets and it looks like you can fit wheels with bigger offsets in the back than front...

 

Advice please:

Enkei RPF-1's

17x9 all around +45 (have 5 mil spacers on hand to go +40)

Has Hoosier 275/40's on them but will likely go to 255...

Stance coilovers, +20 mm wide front fenders and rolled rears.

 

you need lower offsets.

go with a 20-25mm bolt on spacer up front, 10mm slip on (with longer studs) in rear for 255's all around

 

Jason, like Josh said you will need spacers. My 17 x 9 +22 RPF-1's fit perfectly up front with Shine 20mm fenders and 245's, and 17 x 10 +18 rears fit perfectly in the rear with a roll on 275's.

I'd suggest 25mm spacers all around, you'll still be higher offset than mine, but I am on stock suspension and you likely have more clearance with the Stance's

 

Thanks guys, I'll pass on them then as I am not allowed to run such giant spacers on track. Blergh...

 

Good idea bud, I'd keep an eye out for around the +20-25 range. I think +22 is a semi-popular offset for 9" RPF-1's. If you're looking to buy new, Rishi at Auto RnD (ARD_T2 or something forum name) has good prices and Canada-friendly shipping, I'd hit him up.

 

I don't now if Rishie has any more RPF1's in that size hanging around anymore


Should fit perfectly, but you might want less offset to increase suspension - wheel clearance, especially if you decide to run 235's or 245's up front.

Max offset for 9" rears is relative depending on the size of tire you're running. At around +38 and above, 275 sized tires will deflect into the muffler heat shields on cornering. Less with a thinner tire and/or lower offset wheel. Lowest offset without flaring fenders is around +24 (running -1 deg of camber). It's recommended that you roll the fender lip up to protect the tires.

 

I'm running enkei rpf1. 17×9 @ 35 offset, I running a 255/40/17 tire all the way around with shine auto front fenders and a 1.8° camber. No rubbing issues yet. You def need to rock 1 inch front spacers and arp longer studs at the front. Car handles amazingly so far with this setup. All grip baby!!!!

 

Excellent, man! Cheers to another guy running fatties all around!

 

17x9 +45?
