It will not fit up front unless you're running aftermarket coilovers that give you added clearance.

In the rears not a problem...

Anyone running a 9" wheel up front? It'll have -3.5* camber, so it'll tuck in and be a bit more flush... but I don't know the minimum or maximum offset I can fit a 9" wheel without it sticking out horribly or rubbing on the inside. I'm thinking around +15?

 

^
with that much camber you should be able to barely squeeze in a 235 on a 17x9 +15 with the fender rolled. you could probably go with around +20-25 and a 245 or so if you felt like you needed that much rubber in front. that should just barely clear the strut.

 

i have 17x9 +24 up front with 255/40/17, 1 degree of camber. the fender is super rolled, and the inside just barely clears tein flex's. with 3.5 degrees i think you'd be able to get away with stock appearing fenders (only roll the inside). heres a pic that kinda shows how much it sticks out. use your imagination to add in your camber i guess... haha

 

I'm currently running some 17x7 +40 Rota Grids on KYB AGXs
I was wondering what spacer would you recommend to make it flush with the fender
Also, whats the max size I could use on my Rotas? Thanx

 

oops haha i meant 16x7 +40 Rota Grids

looking at some Works in
17x8 +35
17x9 +35

how flush will these be.

I dont ming running front flares or slight fender fender pull.

 

are these going to be flush??? ^^^^^ anyone?

 

no. you will probably need a ~3mm spacer for it to clear the suspension on the front.
and it won't be flush.

Set*1*Size :
18 x 8(front) & 18 x 9(rear)
Offset : +38mm(front) & +38mm(rear)
I think I need a spacer for the front on these

Set 2 Size :
18 x 8.5(front) & 18 x 9.5(rear)
Offset : +35mm(front) & +45mm(rear)
I really want to make these work if I can and if it will look nice.

I want them to fill the wheel wells. If rolling the fenders is needed that will be fine. I do not want to get overfender. The car is also dropped 2” front and rear. I can lift it back to stock. I want my ride to look nice. Let me know what you think hopefully I did not leave anything out.
Thank you.

 

will this fit?

BBS Wheels with 8x17"+42mm on 215 tires all around.

please help me

 

Not in the front with stock-type suspension.
It'll hit the insides.
Need at least a 10mm or about a 1/2" spacer in the fronts.


-Ted

 

okay Thanks!

will it fit under the front fenders with 10mm spacers?

 

17x8 +35 = very good fit, maybe run a 5mm spacer if you want super flush.
17x9 +35 + Decent fit, but run a 10 or 15 mm spacer if you want it flush. I had to bang back my exhaust shields to have them clear and stop rubbing.

 

With the 215's, yes no problem.


-Ted

 

couldnt have said it better myself ... however i want to add on that if you run anything bigger then a 255/40/17 then thats when you will run int othe rubbing.

I am running 245/40/17 and bent them anyways just in case.

 

So heres my final fitement

Wheels are
17 x 8 - 32 offset
17 x 9 - 32 Offset

225/45/17 on the front
245/40/17 on rear (temporary until I buy 255/40/17 KDW 2). I dont see running into any problem on the rear up to a 265/40 .. i tried putting a friends 275/40/17 with same size wheels on and they were rubbing against the mufflers of my racing beat exhaust .. even after the shield was bent. 255/40/17 will make the rears look more flush with the fender.

Here's some pictures

 

Thank you Ted !

 

Do you think the rx-8 rims will fit with 215/45 18r tires???

Rims Size:18"x8", 5 Lugs 114mm With 50mm Offset.

 

is there a chance?? Need to know asap. thanks!

17x8.5 31 offset
17x9.5 35 offset

 

Not in front.
This has already been answered in the FC section.
You need like a 1" spacer up front.


-Ted

 

Not with stock type suspension up front.
You need like a 1/4" spacer up front.


-Ted

 

I need to know how these wheels will fit ASAP.

front
18x8.5
offset +20

Rear
18x9.5
offset +20

I checked out fc3spro.com offset chart. it states that they will fit. i just need a confirmation. also what tire should size should i go with. i would like to go with a 265 in back and 225 in front. will the rims clear my stock suspension. will i need to do any mods to fit them in the wells. Please let me know ASAP i need to move quick on these wheels.

Thank you.
