It's too thin. You should get an 8" wide wheel. Look at the Rota Torque if you're going for inexpensive. This looks like a work emotion wheel. 17x8 +35. You can also look at most EVO8 wheels. It's possible that their factory wheel will bolt right up to the FC if the centerbore is larger.

Look here:

Pick anything between a +25 and +35 for best results. If you won't be using coilovers you can push it up to a +40 imo.
I like this one compared to the enkei you posted:

These are the ones from the list. Decided to just post them. Let me know, i'll see if we can setup a group buy on some of this. Cause i'm sure FC guys would love to jump in on a deal like these.

DAMN! I like the second one (looks like the Falken Typhoon) and the fourth one. I guess I didn't realize thos Enkies were that narrow! I was guessing by how deep the lip was that they were at least 8" wide. I guess I should read teh stuffs.

The second one is more of a weds replica i believe. Let me know if I can help you. I hope these pics helped. There are other places to find better fitments as well. I have a good mentor. He is very experienced.

I've also looked at some expensive *** wheels (Enkie GT-V's, 17x8F($400+ ea.), 17x9.5R($460+ ea.) but they are, as I just said, EXPENSIVE AS FOOT 'N ***! I might need some help refering to what offset to get and whatnot to give my FC a nice stance.

Dudes,
They have a sick staggered fitment for this. Holy cuzzoww. That's mega cheap. Alright let's do this group buy thing. I'm gonna see if I can set this up. Where do we do this, I have a connection to discount. It's already so cheap but maybe we can shave something. 17 x 8 and 9 +27 offset.
On the site it's about $560.00 shipped for the set. Holy ****. I bet they are mega heavy though. I'll ask them that too.
I found this wheel also but only in one size 17x9 +27. Get some 10mm spacers if you got coils for the front and some version select fenders. You'll be good with that symmetrical setup.

Endless you seem to be "the man" when it comes to wheels, i've tried to search the forum but found nothing, and i'm sure you hear it all the time, but could you please tell me what width options i have when you run a 18" wheel on the back of a FC?

I just have a good mentor I can ask all these questions. He's got an amazing ability to retain wheel info in his brain's database. I'll just AIM him and he'll be like do this and this and this. I do it and **** works. lol.
18's you can do up to 10's in the right offset. Problem is if you don't mod your fender you most likely will need to remove the heat shields for the muffler canisters or just bend them. This is what we did.
PM me what you're doing with the car and i'll find out some stuff for you.

Ok. Talked to them. not much more discount. I'm going to add up the figures and see how this will work out. I'm ordering everything they have in gunmetal.
I'm gonna make a poll to see what color you guys want more of.
