Post Pics of your FD Wheel Fitment!!
I've decided on volk te37's 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear, its aggressive enough for me, does any one know if the 8.5 up front require any rolling? thanks oh and offsets are +40 all around
In the rear you can run up to 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 easy with no rubbing/fender rolling required. If you go to a 285/30/18, then I am not sure. Might need a roll.

I wouldn't run anything wider than 255/35 or 265/35 on the rear. 255/35 fits a 9.5 perfectly, straight up and down sidewall, no stretch and no bulge. Not sure on the 8.5 though. I don't think you'd need a roll at all with those sizes and offsets.
My first wheels were 18x9.5 +45 front and 18x10 +38 rear, my tires had a slight stretch and I only had to roll a little bit and I did it with a bat back that. The pics are in this thread I think.
I think you'll be fine with those sizes.

Here's mine.
Volk ce28n 10 spoke 17" (i'm a fan of 18 alloy, but tires start to cost a lot more from 17" here in italy)

Car is on RoRo heading for my house then I don't know spec...
Can you help me from this photo?

While waiting for my new wheels, I was messing around with some spare spacers laying around. This spec would be 17x9 +30 with a 275/40/17 r888. It didn't rub and as you can see...nice and flush
Anyone by chance know's the owner of this FD?

This is one of the best stance ive seen and would like to know the specs. Hell, id like to know specs of the side skirts as well. Really well made car.

^^I might be wrong on this but it looks like shine side skirts molded in and shine rear diffuser and shine side step. Its the spec s body kit if im not mistaken i cant tell what fenders, theyre definately molded in, but they are not stock

Looks like the Burnout side skirts, possibly from Shine, but definitely molded in. Can't tell about the front (obviously lol) and not sure if Shine made the diffuser but it's quite possible. Also has Burnout style fender flares molded in, and the diffuser doesn't look like RE Amemiya style, not sure on the make off the top of my head.
Shine does have that diffuser along with the side skirts its the spec s body kit on thier wedsite. i dont think those front fenders are the burnout kit i thought the burnout kit was a little more flared and not flat on the edge if that makes sense. hope that helps heres a link, this page has the diffuser what looks to be the side skirts and steps. http://www.shineautoproject.com/portfolio/spec-s-aero/

^^^ No they poke cause the offset is wrong, even stretching tyres didn't help. Same wheels come in +38 and it looks just right. Of course it's another story if he is planning on getting wide fenders.

^that's surprisingly low, what kind of tires are you running?
I know it looks high as f**k but I want to run a wider tire like a 255/35 and I think if the wheel was in 20mm it would be perfect

If you are willing to camber more and do a slight pull, you could definitely fit 265s in the rear at 10" +18.
Btw, my wheels are for sale in case anyone is interested
