You may have problem in the front but the rear will work. Probably some savers in the front to clear the suspension

 

Spacers*

 

Like new kid said, the back pretty much all day u can fit that no problem.

But the front is where ur prolly gonna have to do some camber, stretch, roll fender.

here to put it to perspective for u as for the front. I have 205 55 16x7 et43. The inner wheel is like less than the thin side of a coin away from the suspension. On the outer side... I say about another 1/2 inch or less till flush with body.

With 18x9.5 ... Even if it's 20et ur prolly looking at rubbing issues on both outside and inside.

That's my 2 cents. I never owned a rim that big so I don't know, but that's what I feel like will happen.

 

Yeah I'm running a 9.75in in the back with a +25 with no problem
The front I'm running 8.25 with +25 and have maybe a quarter inch to spare along the suspension.
Since yours are 18s they are going to mount higher along the suspension where the coil gets bigger i would do a test fit without tires to see what al you gonna have to do

 

16" Work Equips w/225/50/ZR16's all the way around. Stock suspension.
Front wheels: 16x8 +32.5 Offset
Rear wheels: 16x9 +19.1 Offset

Wondering if I should actually purchase these tires(the pictures are from today's test-fit), or save my $300 and find a set of 17" Equips with better offset on the rear wheels.
Basically, does my stock suspension make the wheels look stupid, and do the rears look like they stick out too far? Would it be an insult to the S5 if I were to sport these for a while? What should I do? I need to come to a decision by 8am in order to have them return the tires or have them installed. Thanks in advance!

 

I really like the look of those wheels on the car, especially with the stepped lip!

Find someone good with a fender roller and get a nice subtle flare on the rear fenders, and a roll up front. When it comes time for you to upgrade your suspension and lower the car a little, the combo will look sweet.

 

I kept the wheels and tires and I couldn't be happier. The car looks so much meaner now. Plus the Atrezzo tires are way grippier than my 12 year old Cooper Touring tires, so there is a handling upgrade that nearly matches the visual upgrade Here are some pics:






I am running a 3mm spacer in the front and ground a few mm's off the front brake caliper bump on each side so that my brakes would clear the spokes on the front wheels. But like it's been said before, do that at your own risk because if you go too far down you run the risk of going into the underlying hydraulic chamber, or even worse; not opening up the chamber with the grinder and leaving a thin layer of metal that will burst open upon heavy braking. I tested my brakes by stepping on them waaay hard BEFORE I drove, and they held up fine. But it's still risky so perform at your own risk!

Thanks, I really like how they turned out, and a stepped lip has always caught my eye on these wheels. I will post an update when I get the roll/flare done and get it lowered. For now I am very happy with the wheels, even on stock suspension.

Here is my other thread that I started on the subject.

Thanks again for the input! Let me know how you think it turned out.

 

does any one have any pictures of 17's in the front ans 18's rear. thinking about rocking this setup

 

I just bought an Fc and found some wheels RPF1 17x9 45 offset 7x10 18 offset (these wheels was on an s2000 would they fit on my FC)

Thank you

 

Will, here is a 17x9 +12 on stock front metal....pulled some.
to give you an idea. Fits really easily.

 

IM SO GLAD YOU KEPT THOSE WHEELS!
they look really good, nice and phat! ahah

how does your car feel now? infinite times better now?

 

I miss the stepped lips my Stern's had. They need new barrels and rings so they're collecting dust in the garage.

 

need center caps? i have some for 15-16's, true metal equip center caps. PM me. I need mine gone. looks good

 

Hello, this may be a silly question, but which mud guards do you have?

 

I'm sure many people have seen this fc already, but what are the specs on the tires is he running? They are not listed in the article. I just ordered those wheels 17x9.75, 17x8.25 (+25mm all around).

 

The wheels are XXR 527, 17 x 8.25 +25 up front and 17x 9.75 +25 in the rear.

i got it from this site after retracing where the photo was from

Local Ride: Evan’s JDM FC

 

Tires, not rims.

They fit nicely.

 

sup

 

apologies, didn't read it thoroughly

they do indeed fit nicely.

 

Derek, i love your vert!

 

Anyone have a picture of +15s? I know they'll probably be close to what Derek has...

 

My rear 10.5's are +16 if that helps any?

 

Wow you've gotta a decent pull going on there.

 

derek, what width are your rears?
