I am looking for flush fitment, or I don't mind having the fenders rolled.

Will 17x9 +30 wheels fit? If so, what size tire?

The wheels I am looking at are also available with a +22.

+22 would be better.

Any idea if a 8.5 inch front rim will fit on stock fenders? Its a +35 offset but spacers are an option.

Its an 18" rim FYI. O and the rears are 9.5 wide with a +35 offset. I know the fronts will be tight, but does anyone know for sure if I can make them work by just rolling the fenders?

You can fit a 9" under stock fenders with a proper offset in the front, and the rear is no problem so the 9.5 should work. Just get the offsets right.

Get a better offset for the front. Why not go with a 17x9?

I wouldn't have believed these offsets would fit until I tried them

17x8 +42 front (215/45) - perfect fit, just clears strut and room without rolling fender

17x9 +48 rear (215/45) - I will need a spacer when i throw 255's on it but clears easily at the moment and fits pretty well.

18x9.5JJet12 Team 5Zigen nt01r-c Hot Versions wrapped in 225/40/r18 Federals. Fitment is just spot-on for a stock-bodied FC3S, but these are being replaced with something a little different.

These are for sale now if anyone's interested.

Can I assume 18x10 +25 will fit like this in the rear? Will it hit the coil overs? TIA!


I started reading this 8 year long and still going thread today. I read the first 6-7 pages, then skipped to the end.

Most of the first pages that were written in 2001 are about 16"-17" wheels.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think of this fitment:

18X8.5 +35 offset up front. 225 45 18 Tires (I have these laying around, not sure if they will clear)

18X9.5 +35 offset in the back. 265 25 18 Tires

I had this 18x10 acr wheel laying around with 285/30/18 with 37 offset so i tried to see if it fits on STOCK BODY WITH COILOVER AND IT DID YEYY
Its a VERY tight fit thou and deffinitly needs to roll if i wanna get something similar
rest of the wheels trashed and cant really use one
Note in the picture it almost hit the control arm back after 4mm spacer it was good so probley 33 offset is the best offset to not hit anything

Cool thread. I am tring to decide on what width wheels to get will a 17x8.25 fit better up front on stock metal or a 17x9.75 I am not looking for super stretch either the car is mainly used for mountain runs and grip. I would like to run the 17x9.75 on all around but don't know if they will clear.

Btw car has full suspension camber adjusters front and rear and full coil overs as well thanks for the help guys

I don't know why my phone auto-corrects this, but that should have read ***FN01r-c

Okay,I've been going through this thread page..by page..by page..by page..and checked the fc3spro fitment guide, and I'm almost positive this should fit. The package I'm planning to go with is Enkei FLC-01's, 17x7" +40 all around with Nitto Neo Gen 215/45/17 tires. Can you guys confirm this fitment for me, just for peace of mind?

And by fit, I mean fit as close to factory as possible with a stock body. Close as possible to flush, no camber out of whack or anything, just normal.

It'll fit, but it'll be positioned in exactly the same way the OEM wheels were at. So how ever 'flush' your factory wheels are now, is how the new wheels will sit.

So I was debating tire sizes last night, and two sites recommend 215/45/17 or 225/45/17. Those seem meaty enough, but what's the biggest tire size I could run with no modification to the body? The roads out here in Kansas are nowhere near friendly. But they're repaving them as we speak. The wheels are 17x7" +40mm offset. Thanks.
