Post Pics of your FD Wheel Fitment!!
Quick ?
Hey guys I have looked everywhere and I didn't get a clear answer or i over looked so please don't kill me if it's been answered. But I just bought a set of ccw classics 17x10 up front and 17x10.5 in the rear with 1/2" spacers just in the rear and +50 offset all the way around. What's the widest tire I can get in the front and rear obviously I'll be rolling the fenders.

I'm on 275/40 in the rear and those are 10". Comfortable fit no rubbing and not rolled. Those are getting increased to 10.5. I'll need to roll but should be fine also. You have coilovers?
I'm running 255/40 in the front (8.5) width but will be increasing to 9". I think you'll still be ok with a 255.

I'm currently at 418 WHP right now so I know what you mean. I have 3 piece wheels so I'm increasing the lips to get them to look better/ be wider also. 17"s are tougher apparently when it comes to selection in tires at that size. Keep me posted on you fitment as were in the same boat and I probably won't get to mine till this summer. Would love to hear what you squeeze in. On instagram as jspec19

You can run 295/35-17 front and rear if you take off the rear spacers- but those are only available as slicks.
275/35-17 front and rear if you take off rear spacers (or roll rear fenders with spacers)- but again only available as a slick.
275/40-17 is too tall for the front and will hit the fender when you turn.
So... yeah, 255/40-17 front and 275/40-17 rear without the spacer in the rear or with the spacer and a roll- for regular tires.

A local buddy (and member on here, lOOkatme) has 11.5" all the way around with 285/30, but I'm not sure what his offsets are. He bought some Enkei NT03s and had them widened.

Guys
I recently changed the look of my fd by adding the feed widebody fenders amd my wheels look out of proportion now..
iveI've read this thread so many times trying to figure out the rite offset usisng the feed fenders front and rear..
I was looking at the varstoen ES6 Fronts 18x9.5 +12 and rears 18x10.5+15
tires 275/35/18 rear 295/30/18
I dont know if im choosing the rite combination
any advice will b great thanks
btw I'm so ready to pull the trigger

Have you sold these wheels yet?
Depending on the style of fitment you want I think you have a great start.
Front
With 275's on the 9.5 I think you're too wide. I would suggest 255/35 to start with and maybe add a small (2-5mm) spacer if you want it closer.
Rear
295/30 on 10.5" wheels will look like it has no (or very little) stretch and will fit right up to the fender but will be so close I can't guarantee it won't hit the fender if lowered. I would suggest 285/35.
I based my numbers off of PureRx7's old FD

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Feed fenders add ~25mm.

I am running a 295/30 WITH a 15mm spacer, so it should fit so long as 1. The tire model you choose doesn't run too much wider than most, 2. You run the car lower, 3. you cut your stock metal OEM quarter panel higher to allow to get lower. But this is just my opinion.
If you want slightly taller tires in the back but willing to go with more of a stretch then 275/35 will be 7-8mm taller than the 295/30 (285/35 would be 11-12mm taller).
For the front, based off of his setup, 265/35 will just barely fit. You can run with 255/35 with a 2-3mm spacer for a very close stance as Driftfc3s.
so I searched around a bit, and found some....but the amount of info on here is overwhelming.
Anyone running 18x10.5 +18 on 285/30's with stock rear fenders? i know ill have to roll and pull...if just wondering if im going to have to flare it a bit.
the easy way out is to just run 255's but I'd rather stick 285's under there as the overall height is virtually the same.
Right now I'm on 10.5 +22's with a 265/35 and it fit with a roll no problem.

a 295/30/18 tire can be a wide tire depending on the tire manufacturer. some are 11" wide for tread width. it would be fine to run this on an 11" width. some are 11.5" tread width in a 295 (AD08R, PS2), these are really wide tires and I would run them on a 11.5" width wheel.
