I guess you're going for an aggressive look with a big tire out back. I think it will be fine. I'm running an 11 +8 out back with a 235. And only had to to pull the fender a bit. So a 10 +20 with a meaty tire should fit easy since I doubt you'll be that low with a tire that size. Hope it helps, pics when its done!!

I have 18x7.5 +45 offset with 225/40 in rear and 215/35 on front , I plan on switching to 225/40 on front as well.

Have tanabe lowering springs on it which lowers 1.5" and the rear fenders were rolled by the previous owner.

I believe I need 35mm spacers for the rear to make it flush with a +10 offset, here's how it looks now, rear needs spacers badly.

I'll fix the rear fitment and worry about the front when I plan to get new tires, rear tires fit perfect on the wheels, fronts are stretched and anything wider will definitely rub without a spacer.

Fronts I'm not sure what size spacer I'll need havent done research on it yet, I got my info from fc3spro

I'm running 17x9 and rear not sure of the offset. But my new tires are rubbing the springs only when I go over a bump. They are flush right now, but what is the smallest spacer I could run so it will stop rubbing?

you'd need to know the offset if not you'd need to look and see how close they are to the springs.

What size tires?

Anyone try a 17x10 +20 on an FC(stock, non wide body)? If so, any pictures? I thought I saw someone with it in this thread somewhere but can't find it.

I have 17 x 8.5" 42mm offset rims with 225/45 tires front and rear on my FC. The wheels are a FD fitment, so I needed 17mm bolt-on spaces in the front and 22mm bolt-on spacer in the rear. I have coil overs and I had to roll the front fender lips. There is not much room left up front on either on the inside or outside, but there is plenty of room in the back. I also have a pair of matching 9.5" wheels for the rear if I wanted to run say a set of 255/40 tires with a slimmer bolt-on spacer. I hope that gives you some idea on your setup.
