I have never asked on here but here goes. FC with coilovers

17x8 with a 0 offest. with a stretched tire would it fit?? What about pulled fenders?

I want sportmax to make the 002 wheel custom for me.

front is going to stick out. with some camber and pull/roll of the fenders you can probably tuck it in though.
rear should be okay with just a slight roll... depending on how much camber you're gonna have

won't fit on the front... you will def. need wide fenders or some seriously modded stock ones and a bit of camber.
I dunno about rears... would probably fit with a 205 and rolled fenders...

fc3s fitment question

i want to use the same size rim all around, so i found a set of rims that i like and i wanted to know if the would fit with stock fenders?

F & R : 18x9.5+28

tires: 245-40-18 or 255-35-18

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS: if they dont fit stock fenders will it work with +20 front fenders?

BTW those wheels I showed are also 8 inches wide, so it would be a 17x8 with a +15 offset.

Would those work better?

you will need some spacers and overfenders to fit them in the front. 18x9.5+22 hits the suspension with a 225, so +28 with a 245 (40 series is too big), I'm guessing you'll need at least a 10mm spacer... maybe a little more.

rears, you can probably fit with some fender massaging. but it will take some work.

BTW those wheels I showed are also 8 inches wide, so it would be a 17x8 with a +15 offset.

17x8 +15 would fit if you run a 205 or 215 in front and roll the fenders. rears you could probably fit a 225 if you wanted with little to no work on the fenders.

Thats awesome cause for 399 for those wheels I posted pics of they would look sick on a FC.

I have been searching for +15 offsets but have had no luck in the picture department. My fenders are already rolled. So you think I wouldnt need to flare/pull the fender, just a roll will work??

^ they will probably hit the fender a little in front (you would need to roll them).

rears will fit with a smaller tire.... like a 255.

not that doesn't matter. fronts should fit fine... I think rears will fit, it will be close to the fenders though... if you don't mind rolling the fenders you will be able to make them fit NP.

I don't think there's much diffrence in size between the different coilovers out there, they'll probably clear just fine.

15x8.5 ET 25-30 (or 15x9, 7.5-9.5 is recomended by the tire manufacturer) with 275/50R15

This is for MT drag radials.

It fits, but I have a feeling they'll be a bit fat. True you'll get more grip than a 205/55/16 setup, but for daily driving the 205/55/16 would be better on a 16x7. The other option could be to get 16x7.5 and run 225/50/16. Both options would be better on the whole than 225/50/16 on 16x7. The best would be 225/50/16 on 16x7.5

My personal rule is half inch less than the maximum the tire manufacturer recommends.
