OK thanks again for the help, didn't see your reply to essentially the same question above, sorry. Actually reading the comments, I'm wondering if I should go for 235's all around while I'm at it - more rubber never hurts.
Man I never figured somerthing simple like wheels would become this much hassle :-) Now to order some studs and spacers.... what size studs should I be looking for anyway? Not sure what the stock length is. As far as the handling goes, I tend to like cars a little on the loose side. I learned to drive on a BMW 2002, so I am comfortable with what some might consider excessive oversteer. The car's intended to be a fun daily driver, it might see the occasional autocross, driver's school or drag strip day, but not any serious competitive track use. Absolute grip is a secondary consideration to the car feeling tossable and fun, I guess. |
Uggggggg 5Zigen didnt include my 17x10 +25mm on their last shipment to america, fuck! i've been waiting for a month and a half for this order to come in and my shit isnt even on it. They want to know if i can do the +35mm, they recomended that offset in the first place when they looked up my car. Is there any way i can get away with a 17x10 +35mm on the rear?

Had to give them an answer, i went with the +35mm *crosses fingers

Alright, these were some pictues that slammedblk7 sent me a while back. He is running the 17x10's with the +12 offset. It appears that i have enough room to go with the +35mm offset. My only concern is the trailing arm. Again, this is what 5zigen themselves told me to go with for the 17x10 on the 2nd gen.

I got to see a 18" x 10.5", +9 with a 295 / 30 / 18 set-up fits in the back. There was barely 1/4" of space. So, I wouldn't go anything more than a 10.5", +15. Using that as a guide, with the 10.0" wide rim, I dunno how you can go deeper than maybe +20. Someone claimed a 10.0", +24 fit no problem, but I cannot confirm that. The numbers states this is impossible. I put money a 10.0", +35 will not fit in the back. -Ted |

It's not about it sticking out. It'll hit everything inside. -Ted |
It would depend on the tire design or how "blocky or squared off" the tire is.There have been a couple of people running those FN01R-C's(+35) with 275/40/R17's so it does work ,albet on the tight side.
|
Yeah, tires just showed up today, Falken Azenis RT-615's. I'm going to order an extra set of 5mm spacers just in case i'm rubbing just a little bit.

One more quick question - Enkei RPF1's 17x8 front, 17x8 rear, 35 offset all around.
I will need to run 5mm spacers in the front, yes? None in the back? (No replacing studs, yay! ;-) 17x8's are available in 35mm & 45mm offsets, 17x9's in 22, 35, & 45. PS: Can I squeeze 235's on the front, or is that pushing my luck? |

Alrighty, here's some fitment questions.... Will these fit, and if so, how well?
17x9+38 front, 18x9.5 +45 rear 17x7.5+38 front, 17x8+31 rear 16x7+25front, 16x8.5+25 rear |
Excellent, thanks.
I may get a 5mm spacer anyway and squeeze 235's on the front, more rubber never hurts... |
I'm going to try for a 245 up front on a 17x8 +35 wheel with a 5mm spacer on it *crosses fingers* I'll let you know when the wheels show up.

How well will the 16x7 +25 and 16x8.5 +25 fit an FC? Will they still be sunk into the fenders, or pretty flush? Anyone got any pics?

Hey Ted, I've got some 17x8's on my car and I thought that the range is +35 to +30 to have them work without interferance. IIRC my rims are +31 and they don't rub on the inside rear as your earlier post says. I got these tires and wheels based on this post and think they are great. 17x8 is tight on the front outside though.

I would think with a 225 / 45 / 17 there should be ample room, but I have a feeling you're running 235's or wider? Good job! -Ted |
Nope, 225/45-17's. They fit great and corner better too. I went with sticker tires not just wider one's. Thanks again for answering my info Q's at the time.

Could someone tell me if they have tested or know if / or not 17x8.5 +41 or +31 would fit on a FD with tire size: 245/40/17 both front and back?
Thanks! |
Nevermind, I found a great spreadsheet... Don't know how I missed the sticky at the top: FD Wheel and Tire Sizing. :uh:
I'm such a :newbie:! |
My current fitment
I've played around with quite a few fitments and what I currently have is a pretty easy fitment that requires only a little fender rolling if your car is lowwered quite a bit.
