Does anyone know of a company making wheels in a +15 offset, or am I going to have to get custom wheels or a spacer to make it work?

No, it won't fit up front.

I would run 225 / 50 / 16 up front and roll the fender lip.
For the rears, same size unless you're running a good amount of power, then you could step up to a 245 / 45 / 16.

almost every japanese wheel manufacturer that makes decent size wheels makes something around +15.

i want to run 18x8 wheels can i fit those on and will 245*45*18 give me enough room in the front and rear?

jnasty

typo 245*40*18-front
245*35*18 rears?

poor college student

damn, there goes the idea of running the same wheels and tires on my car...

unless i got 2 more that would fit in front... hahaha

If the offset is around +35, you should be fine.

well the wheel did fit fine with the 255/35/18. how can i measure my wheel offset? should the taller sidewall really make a dramatic difference than before?

unicorn_squad

if the 35 series fit, the 40 series should too. just might throw your speedo off a hair, and might feel a little slower due to the bigger diameter. but they should have no problem physically going on the car.

I know 17x7 with a 40 offset will fit front and back and so do 18X7.5 with a 38 offset, but i want to know if if i can fit 17X9 with a 35 offset on front and back.

What would i need to do to make the 17X9 fit all the way around.
I'm planning on getting coilovers later and i can and do live with negative camber front and back so thats not to much of a problem for me.

I really want those 17X9's to fit but if not i can sacrifice to the 18X7.5

I have som Rims that i am absoultly in love with, but they wont fit due to me needing longerwheel studs, so far in my searches i have found nohting. Is there anyone who makes longer wheel studs for the fc?? ANy help would be GREATLY appreciated

I'm looking at getting some new wheels for my FC, and I want to run 18x8.5 with a +43 offset up front, with a 235/40/18 tire on them. will these fit into the stock fender wells?
And in the back, will 18x9's with a +33 offset work, running a 265/35/18 tire?

ARP makes studs for late model Camaros and Corvettes that fit. The regular ones are quite a bit longer in the rear, but not much longer in front. They also make even longer ones that are quite a bit longer in front.

anyone have these wheels on an FC with pics? found it on craigslist for $300
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/pts/341742721.html

will these fit? this is the info the guy gave me...

wheels are made by ARE....16 x 8 wheels....good condition...16mm offset,mustang...79-93 backspacing..not sure of the weigjht....225/50/16 tires
bolt pattern is 5 x 4.5

here are some additional pics






ARE is american racing right? O_o


whoa.. didn't notice how beatup these were until i previewed my post and saw those pics...

akaRobbyStyle

alright, so i posted earlier in the fc thread, and it was a wheel fitment thing. heres the fa sho rundown on size. 17x10.5 +27. say i ran a 1" spacer in front with 20mm wider front fenders. modified inner fenders also. what other issues would i have? im just dead set on this, and would love to try to make it work, but i dont wanna be stuck with having to do some knuckle fab or anything ridiculous like that... so yay its possible, or nay give it up and move on???

wil87 those look sweet. I have a friend that had ARE wheels on his 90 GTU (https://www.rx7club.com/ne-rx-7-forum-30/r-i-p-650659/) and they looked awesome.

20mm fenders wont cut it. those wheels (with spacers) will stick out around 3" past the stock fenders. tri point style fenders would work tho. check out owen's car - https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/ssr-sp1-18x10-all-around-fc-pics-652947/

akaRobbyStyle

are there any pics of the tri points over wheels that fill up the fender more. nothing against his setup, but its too much fender for my taste. i dig the picture in your sig, Josh18, thats a little less aggressive than i would wanna rock, but it works. a pic of something close would be unspeakably helpful. if anyones got one, please post. thanks again... still thinkin about tryin it.

wiL87

can anyone answer my question up there?

akaRobbyStyle

and yes, btw, ARE is American Racing, according to a quick Google. I wish i could google my problem, or maybe even ask jeeves. But im pretty sure jeeves dont know ****.
