What offset should i run? (Fikse FM10's)

Car is a '93 fd with H&R springs and koni's. Im planning on running 17X8.5 up front with a 235/40/17 tire. And 17x10 out back with a 275/40/17 tire. I think Fikse can custom make the offsets for me when i order the wheels so what should i go with? I was thinking 44 for the rear and 37 for the front? what do yall think? thanks

Do a search on what Goodfellafd3s was running. He also used similar tire sizes to what you specified.

IIRC I was running 37-38 in front and 44-45 in rear, so you're spot on.

17x8.5 and 17x10 with 245/40 and 275/40. Only bad thing about the 275/40 is the tall diameter of ~25.7 inches, which will slow you down a bit due to it's effect on your gearing. I ended up going with 4.3 final drive to counteract it a bit.

Where are you getting the Fikses? I might have a source, PM me.
