MSpeed, what tire sizes are you running?

Don't be offended--- I like what you're doing with your FD, aside from the (in my opinion) absolutely horrible wheel/tire fitment

Adjusted my setup slightly but mainly have better pictured to show. Fronts are 285/30 on 18x10.5 +17 with Shine Feed fenders. Rears are 295/35 on 18x10.5 +12 with pulled flared fenders.

It all depends what you are after. As far as I'm concerned you can fit plenty of wheel and tire in the rear without rolling the fenders and it doesn't have to be stock spec. A non lowered car may look odd with 18's but if stock fender gap is fine with you then just making sure the OD of the tires are 25" so a 225/50/16 stock size tire has the same OD as a 255/35/18 tire. That means no added or subtracted fender gap or ride height

You see a lot of staggered fitment because you can fit more tire in the rear and it also means you can change the offset of the wheels to gain more flush fitment/dish on the wheel.
As you can see in this thread; some take it to the extreme. This tends to compromise performance for looks. It's why you see some strong opinions mentioned about fitment. Usually towards the negative when it comes to extreme fitments.

I don't like a stock fitment, way too conservative. I don't know anyone who think it looks better stock than putting a bit more aggressive offsets on the car.

I actually have 215/40 front and 245/35 rears hankook V12Evo.
I have fresh pair of RS-R 265/35 laying around. I plan on mounting them on rears. What size do you think I should put in front? 235/40 RS-R ?

Neat setup. Ppl ditch or custom metal the inners for show fitment. You need custom arms or eccentric bushings to get camber on the top arm.
Can you post pictures from the rear? I'd love to see that rocket bunny spoiler on a car without pandem or gt flares. Thinking about putting one on my stock body.

So beautiful. Stock FD lowered on nice wheels is forever timeless.

Finally got a functional set of wheels again and it feels so good . 17x9 +28 all around with 255/40/17 Federal SS. Need to put the 10mm spacers in the rear still but I got the wrong size extended studs and they didn't fit in the hub :/. If anybody has any used 2.5" APR studs for FC/FD let me know.
