Question about spacers with Fc

I was wondering how do I tell the offset and what is really needed to put 03 Mazda 6 wheels and tires. I know the wheels will not fit up front, because it hit's the suspension. But the question is what size spacers is required? I tried looking it up, but haven't found anything.

My fc has kyb agx springs and interax (sp?) springs 2" drop. I'm sorry tires are not my thing, but I've tried to look it up. But nothing about it. Sorry if this is a noob question. Thanks in advanced.

from a quick search.... 17x7 +60
you should probably get some different wheels... you'd need at least a 1" bolt on spacer. they arent cheap.

But the 03 mazda 6 rims are 16" tires. 205/60/16. The offset is what is killing me. But I will sell them then.

94-04 mustang wheels are a much better bet for cheap and good fitment.

Ya there's no point in doing this because the cost of the spacers.

There are several other OEM wheels that are greater fitment for the FC if you needed to get spacers.

For example:

FD Wheels 16x8
Supra TT Wheels 16x8 and 16x9
Nissan 300ZX TT Wheels

Supra TT wheels are the correct centerbore for the FC but will require spacers.

FD will require spacers and a conversion hubring.

Nissan 300ZX might not require a spacer, but needs a conversion hubring = 30.00.

i have the conversion hubrings in stock fyi.

YOUR OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO GET EVO8 WHEELS. Perfect fitment and I have the conversion hubrings. 17x8. run 225/45 all around or even 235/45 in the rear if you want to stagger it.

most of the wheels you mentioned above he'd be in the same exact situation....

I would get some H&R 25mm hub-centric bolt on spacers. it'll lower the offset down to +35 which is perfect.

they're about $135 per pair, but it's still cheaper than another set of wheels depending on how cheap you got these.
