I was looking at those same ones for a while. Lots of people told me that 19's were too big for the FD and that I should just stick with 18's. I like the looks of the 19's. How is the ride quality with such a small sidewall?

The pictures aren't that great for being able to see the fitment though.

Honestly it's not as bad as I thought it would be. My old setup was 17s with heaps of sidewall - these are a little rougher but not unbearable/undrivable. Running 12/10k Cusco coilovers too.

The wheels do looks huge though, which I like!

Though I like the looks of the 19s, I think I am going to stick with 18s. I was hoping to get these Volk G25s the only problem is they only come in one offset (+25) for the 10.5 width. I am planning on running 295/30 rear tires.

Think this will work with a Roll/Pull and no camber?

I just want these so bad, I may just make them fit

I've seen a few guys with similar offsets in this thread get theirs to fit; just wondering how they did it

shouldn't be too hard, I used to run 295/30 on 18x11 +20, I do have quite nice pulled fenders though.

^I saw those sideskirts on an FD years ago when I first got mine and was looking at different body options, and I fell in love with the car as a whole instantly. I only saw that FD in that one pic, but I never forgot about it. It was blue with a 99 Spec front and these skirts, and it had the old Advan RGs in gold and it was sitting on a trailer next to another FD on a trailer, and I'm pretty sure it was in Japan. Which skirts are those again? Panspeed right?

Hey guys i need some advice. i searched over 30 pages on here and was not able to spot what i was looking for.

currently

and my new flares



but i have no idea what size wheels to get... not even worried about crazy fitment just to get close to flush.. my OZ's are 8" by +34 or 35 with a 25mm spacer. and they are inches away so i figure im going to need something in the - offset and maybe in the 10's to 11's?

Are there any pictures of an FD with Works XD9s? Trying to figure out what offset to get if I fit 10 inch wide wheels both front and rear.

i would say an 18x12 +18 would fit with a set of 315 or 335

call pettit and ask them what they run in their flares. you need to take a saw to the quarter panels so you can use the flares for which they were intended
