Unsure of these wheels, will it fit my FD?
 
I'm looking at a set of VR GT-C

They are 17" x 8" +41

w/ 215/45/17 tires. A little skinny correct?

Will these wheels fit my FD?


Thanks

Also, I run on Tein Flex Coilovers if that will help with any fitment issues.

Thanks

Yeah, they'll fit but the wheels are the stock width and those tires are skinnier than stock. It would be a reduction in performance.....

Well I could also put in widthier tires correct? any idea how much wider? 235? 245? +?

yeah most 235's fit squarely on a 8" wheel.
you can fit a 245 on an 8" wheel if the offset/clearance allows it.

I'm planning to run 235 in the front and 245 in the rear

for the front 235/45/17
for the rear, im not really sure on the series. 245/40/17?

Thanks for the input

235/45-17 front and 245/40-17 rear will have a shorter sidewall on the rear, which looks weird. You can take more diameter in the rear, so if you must run different tires, you could probably do 245/45-17 in the back (25.7" diameter for BFG KD -- same as the 275/40-17 tires that many people run in back). However, it might be better just to run the same tires front and rear -- they will look the same and you can rotate the tires that way.
