Rota Grid 18x9.5 +20 on an FC???

I really like these wheels and was wondering how they would fit/look on an FC. I plan on going wide body but would like to run the +30 rear fenders. would these wheels fit decent?? Thanks!

30mm Rear fenders these would still be sunk.

What tire size you want to run and i'll tell you about how much spacer you would need.

i.e. 18x9.5 +10 with 255/35/18 i'm pretty sure would fit under a 30mm REAR wb.

As for front you would be in the range of a +0 to +10 depending on tire size.

i'm pretty sure these wheels will be pretty heavy so find out from whomever has them in stock.

That wheel won't fit up front without spacers, it will likely hit your strut.

Thanks! I haven't put any thought to tire size what would be good for fronts? I'm not too worried about the weight because i'm swapping my motor and don't really intend on racing with these. I just want something nice for the car to sit on.

those will fit fine all around! depending on your tire selection, i'd either go with shine's front fenders, and stock rear, or stock all around (with stretch)
corksport fronts will fit 285's with room to spare.. (yikes)

btw rishie, i ran 18x9.5 +15 up front, and theres more than 5mm to go inside. my 18x10 +22 mustang wheels just barely touch the strut, but not enough to cause damage.
(tein flex's btw)

Thanks for the info! I want to run +20 fronts and +30 rears and don't want them to look sunk, So i'd just need to find the right wide tire? or do I go with a lower offset/wider rim for better results??

rear yes, front no (would hit the spring/shock)
