Is there a way to be able to fit 17x10's on?

I want to know if 17x10's will fit in the rear on an FC3S? Even if it requires spacers, if so what size, I want to know if its possible or am I stuck with 9 inches wide in the rear? I am just asking, please don't bash, it's still an idea.

Thanks,

Jay

Yup they will fit with no problems.. I currently have +38mm offset -17 x 9.5's rear w/ 275's and 17 x 9 w/ 235 front.

The offset that would work best on back is +35mm +38mm...and this is for both 9.5 and 10's and OR a 5mm spacer is safe with oem studs if your into that. I have a 5mm spacer but it wasn't needed.

Discount Tyre took the time with me and ordered every size 17" wheel Enkie offered in the style I was looking into.. So we test fit the 17 x 8-8.5-9.0-9.5 & 10"...The 10's fit, but Enkei Tx. only had the one 10" and it would have taken months to get another from Enkei JDM, so I settled for the 9.5..I'm still able to run a 275 on a 9.5" and thats really about max on a TII without rolling fenders and a wide body, etc. anyway, you got q's? just ask

Later

Brad, I can't wait to post some pics of my 18x12 SSR SP1 3 piece with 345-28-18 slicks (widebody required) That's alot of wheel and tire you're fitting
Unfortunately they will take 6-8 weeks to get, mid winter, perfect
