Offset range for 17x8/17x9 on FC?
Couldn't find the answer I was looking for, but I'm planning to get 17x8's in the front and 17x9's on the rear of my FC and am wondering what range of offsets would acceptable for the front and rear. Take into account that the car will eventually be lowered. Thanks.

I'll help ya, but there is a FC wheel thread and its pretty lengthy.
17 x 8 +38mm -+35mm front
17 x 9 + 38mm- +32mm rear
Now, it also depends what suspension you have or are getting and what tyre size and manufacture. If you can only really run a 225-45 up front max there is now real need for 8's up front....just my .02.
Rear, stay with a 255-40 unless you have 400-500whp. In this case you'll have to make other adjustments and go with 275-40, but IF you plan on 275's the offset must be spot on. +35 - +30mm....
Hope this helps... I had this setup, but I sold the car
17 x 8.5 +40mm w/ 225-45 front
17 x 9.5 +38mm w/ 275-40 rear and opted to use a 3mm spacer cus +38mm is close.

but of course I still love rotaries.
