thanks for the good response

i come from holland, and here it is really hard to find some staggered wheels for a reasonable price!! almost everything has to come overseas and that's way too expensive!

the wheel i bought are barracuda velvet's, wich are replicas of the oxigin lexor.
the lexor costs about 900 dollars for a wheel but these cost just 400 or so.

i cant wait to have them heren

 

Search didn't come up with anything in this post; and 54 is a lotta pages to sift through so...

how about 16x7 28mm offset w/ 225/50/16 all around on an FC?

 

No problem...
Another set of JDM imported wheels?
Those dimensions are not very easy to find in the U.S.

Hell no; Lincoln Wheels mang'

 

[QUOTE=Furb]Thanks for all the help, i finally ordered me some wheels today!
18x8,5 ET25 front and 18x9,5 ET25 rear...




reTed i am getting these same 18in wheels also but i dont get his sizes he put on the post
i want the wheels to sit inside the wheel well ...i am not a fan of flush with the fenders or stick outs
as a matter of fact the way those wheels look in the car right now is what i want
buti cant trust a photoshop pic
any help will be appreciated
offset:
max tire size front and rear:

i ask you because you seem like the go to guy

 

^

 

what's not to get

i got the advice for the wheels from ReTed also...
i followed his list on http://fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/RT/rims.htm and asked advice on this forum many times!

im getting a 225/40/18 tiren in front and 255/35/18 in the rear...
according to Reted this wont give any problems with fitment!

if you want the wheels to go a little deeper inside the fenders just use a higher offset...

 

will 17x7 with a 42 offset fit???

 

Yes.


-Ted

 

Those who are interested....
17x8 +35 offset -- 235/45/17 (who says 235 won't fit? )
17x9 +35 offset -- 255/40/17

These fit perfectly under stock fenders with HKS coilovers. The tires *JUST* tucks in under the fenders.
To be safe, I rolled in the front fenders.

The front offset is the maximum you can go . A wierd offset of 36 or 37 for the front may be better.
The rear CAN fit a 10" rim with a slightly lower offset.


*edit* a better tire choice would have been: 235/40/17 and 255/35/17
Oh well.

 

You cheat biatch!
Coilovers allow you to run slightly more offset and push the tire in.
J's car runs 17" x 8", +35 Rezaz Roars on Koni Yellows + GC coilovers, and they hit the damper. :P
He's using a small spacer just to get them to clear.


*bzzzt*
Try again.
There is no such thing as a 255/35/17 tire you biatch!

Where you getting your tires sizes from?
Mars?


-Ted

 

Ack...blow me
Never searched for 17" tires before..oh well.
Tire Rack is planning a grand opening on Mars in 2010..didn't you hear?

 

Ok... Ive done some math, and by my calculations the only way to get a 10 wide rear rim on with a little fender rolling is to have +27,+28 and maybe a +30 a little close and a +31 will fit but you would half to measure the clearance with a plug gap tool and a 32 is going to rub???? Any offset equal to or less then +25 looks like it would rub. any thoughts??? would like to see close up pictures of 17x10's on the rear

 

+35 is VERY Close the fender, and the A arm. Anymore out than +35 in the rear and you will need more than minor fender work. Mine are 17x10 +35 with a 275 40 tire.

Lots of pics.

 

I was thinking of getting these and need to know if they would fit. I have a 1" drop all around on tein springs. Car is a 86 sport. Thanks in advance

5ZIGEN FNO1R-C
5X114.3
17X9 +15
17x10 +12

 

Not a chance with stock fenders.

8"max in front with around a +25 offset

+35 offset in rear

 

Thanks a lot for the quick responce. Car looks good by the way

 

This might seem like a dumb question to some of you but what does offset mean? Like I get confused when people have the same size rims but because of the offset they don't fit. Hope I didn't confuse anybody.

 

Offset is how far in or out the wheel sits as a basic explination.

Look here for a more technical explination:

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=101

or google wheel offset

 

Have you...or anyone with a similar set up, seen any indication of rubbing on the rear control arm???... I know it is like 3/16ths of an inch from the arm

 

i saw those wheels too, they will not work on an FC... the rears will stick out like an inch or more, you would need over fenders

 

Why would you want so much wheels on a non-turbo?
The added weight would just slow you down...?


-Ted

 

For my vert (5 lug) I would like to go with an 18" rim. Was looking at the EXEL E-2.
For tires i would like to run AS wide as i can with 18" rim w/ say +40 offset what width of rim with those specs should i run in REAR, would like low profile tires of coarse, unless i plan on doing a lift for the 7! What width tire and aspect ratio.

What should i run up front with same offset and same rim height. (Tire width and aspect ratio as well as the width of the rim) Without any rubbing.

Thanks

 

anyone know if a17x8.5 50 offset will fit with a 8mm spacer

 

What size tire?
Front, I think it's too tight.
Rears are no problem.

The 8mm spacer makes your offset effectively 50 - 8 = +42mm.
