I'm looking at wheels with these specs:

Front Wheels:
17 x 8.0 +43 with 215/40 r17 tires
Rear Wheels:
17 x 9.0 +43 with 235/45 r17 tires

I know my fenders would be fine, but would they clear my suspension? right now it's stock (TII), will be lowered in the future.
thanks in advance for the input..

Fronts are going to going to hit inside.
Rears are going to come awefully close to doing the same also.

Some small spacers should get those wheels to clear easily.

Should fit no problem, just roll the fenders.

On stock fenders i am running same tire size as you and 17x9 +9 front and 17X9+5 back, or 18x9.5+6

Considering running 18x8J+26 and 18x9+33 ... am i good? also what tires sizes can i run?

i tried digging through the thread but did not find all to much on 18

Wheel diameter is irrelevant (mostly) all that really matters is width of the tires and wheels, offset and tire diameter. You'd be looking at something like a 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 (if such a size exists).

im planning on running 17x8 up front and 17x9 rear on my 87 fc. what is the optimum backspacing for this setup. 225 45 17 front 255 40 17 rear.

RETed

8.0", +30 up front
9.0", +35 in rear

ditto .. but you can get away with up to around a 35 on the front but i would not personally go any higher then a +32

^no sell them to honda boy

kuschatka74

what about spacers? who the hell is honda boy...

hurleysurf24

iTrader: (3)

search for him on the forums ... you need atleast 15mm spacers

kuschatka74

would 15mm spacers make em stick out all mexican like?

owen is fat

you can run a 275 wide out back with just a rolled fender lip, a 285/30 would fit but be kinda fat/buldge looking.

you can easily fit a 235 front and 255 rear though, without any issues. possibly a 245/265 combo will fit depending on your suspension setup, ride height and the tire's real-world-measurements.

those are beautiful wheels too, oh boy oh boy oh boy.

owen is fat

probably will need / want spacers for it to look close to the fenderlips.

owen is fat

no, but 2" spacers would.
honda boy is the people that those offsets would fit without spacers... honda civics and accords use high offsets on skinny wheels like those.
FCs typically accept +25 to +35 offsets for 8" to 9" wheels, unlike the skinny 7" wheel with a +48 offset like you mentioned... eeeeeeeeeeeeew.

sorry i forgot to put the letter "a" before honda boy. i was stating that those wheels would be better suited for a honda.

kuschatka74

so if i were to sell them it would probably be easiest on a honda forum.....are civics and accords 114.3?

18x8.5 Front + 20
18x9.5 Rear +25
Was gonna' run a 265 in the back, and 225 in the front, i figured on stock fenders, 225 would be as good as i can get it. If I run fenders on the front i can get 245s though i assume, right?

RETed

8.5", +20 is too tight for the stock front fenders.
Expect to roll the front fenders, even with 225 wide tires.
I would run the 245's and run overfenders...

Rears 9.5", +25 with the 265's guarans gonna have to roll the rear fenders.

Selling a set of 4
SSR- GT-2
17" x 8" all around and offset's +35 no it never rubbed on my setup
Asking $1500 OBO shipping is extra (price depends on location)

tires in the front are getting worn, rear's still good
255/45/17 rear
234/40/17 front

Couple of things...

"234/40/17" I would assume to be 235 / 40 / 17?
Also, 255 / 45 / 17 is not the correct side - it should be 255 / 40 / 17.

Fronts are going to hit the inside shock unless you're running aftermarket coilovers?
A small spacer should help with clearance.

If the rears are 255 / 45, it might be a little too tall and might contact the rear fender lip - it's going to be close though.

Hi REted

will this mazdaspeed ms-01 wheels fit?

front: 17x8 +35
rear: 17x9 +34

I think I will be running 215 or 225 up front, or even 205 if something is rubbing...but the tires doesn't care much right now, I just need to know that I can buy the wheels.

suspension: kyb agx + rsr race springs

thanks

will 18x7.5 with a 35 offset work?!? what size tires would i have to run?

RETed

Should be okay, even though I don't like such a deep offset with the 8.0" up front.
If anything, a thin spacer or running down to a 205 wide tire up front should work.
