Rota Slipstreams on a FC. Fitment Question
Ive always had a thing for Rota Slipstreams (yes I know they're honda wheels, but I dont have the money for legit Desmond Regamasters). I've done some research and from what I have read, the hub on the Rotas is smaller (56.1mm I believe) than an FC. So, I was thinking if I spaced them out then that wouldn't be a problem.
The size would be 17x8.5 +35 with a 1/4" spacer. I have Stance GR+ coilovers and stock fenders.

That should clear the hub lip, offset is in about the right range. You'll most likely need longer studs though, which isn't terribly hard in the front, but the rear requires the hubs to be removed (not trivial).

"ET" style lugs, those would help, but depending on the thickness of the wheel hub it might not be enough. Besides, longer studs are a much better solution.
They'll fit depending on how greedy you are with lowering and tire sizes.

If you meant nuts they're 12x1.5, get whatever wrench size you want, but I know for my old 15x8 track slipstreams, I ended up switching to 17mm ones for socket clearance reasosns. The 17" wheels may be different, but the 17mm nuts will be lighter anyway, so no real downside, other than not being able to use the stock 21mm wrench on them.
