Very close FC wheel size:

17x8+32/18x9+35 5-114.3

These are going inside stock fenders, (I hope) and I'd like them to be flush with the outside of the fender.

I have KYB AGX with Racing Beat 1" lowering springs.

I did a search and looked through the FC Wheel Fitment Thread, (no not all 54 pages ) and couldn't come up with anything.

Thank you for any help you can lend,
~Jason

They are not going to be "hella" flush, but they also won't be sunken battle ships. They'll be a good fit for stock unrolled fenders, and a stock type(not coilovers) suspension.

I was thinking a +35 offset would be flush?

How about 225/45 17 and 255/35 18s? Would that look right?

Thanks for the help,

you can't really have flush with stock fenders. if you roll the inside lips in then you could probably get 5 to 15 mm spacers and that'd be decent..

To me that will look funny with the sidewalls up front being taller. Going with a 225/40/17 with a 255/35/18 would have an equal sidewall width, while still keeping the rears close to OE tire height.

Thats just me though, I've seen a car that did the 17/18 stagger and ran the same overall tire height and it was stupid looking to me.
