Pic REQ + Info: Late model FD wheels

Could someone do me a favor and post me pics of all the late model FD wheels? Im unsure if i like the wheels on my new car and i know some of the later models had 17" wheels, were they made by BBS?? Wouldnt mind seeing them as i feel 16" is a bit too small,

Also, what is the max tyre width you can get on the 17" stock rims?? i have some 265 rears and i wouldnt mind knowing if they fit, i dont have a lot of confidence in the skinny 16" wheels tyres as its wet over here most of the time, is the widest stock rim 9"??

Thanks

Ryan

Later wheels were 17x8 and 17x8.5. Widest tire you could run would be 255/40 17.

Also, wider tires does not equal better handling in the rain....you shouldn't be driving aggressively in such conditions anyway.

Yep, I've only seen a couple sets of these wheels for sale in the forum classifieds in the 2-3 years I've been on this forum and one of those happens to be current:
