Would these happen to fit my fc?

17x7 in the front with 43 offset
(positive im assuming)


then in the rear i want to see if 17x9 with 27 offset will fit


and for the 17x7's id run 205/40

then the 17x9's id want to stretch 215/40

Thanks

Dude, you better get your flame suit on. Why would you ever want to stretch the wrong size tire on that rim? I don't understand why anyone thinks thats cool. You're probably gonna enter it in a drift competition, huh?

I happen to like the look of it and no i dont drift and that didnt have anything to do with my question

aha okayy then.

well forget about the tires then i just want to know if the wheels would even fit.
as far as offset goes.

It's going to fit unless you're running those aftermarket springs that give you less clearance - i.e. Tanabe GF210's or Tein S-Tech's.

Before I plan on purchasing the wheels and tires i'm looking in getting Tein flex coilovers.

Thanks Ted.

im running 17 x 9 + 15 in front w. 215, you can go alot lower in offsets and wider in front

Well the wheels i was looking at getting were the MB weapons.

and i wanted to get a staggered setup with the 7's in the front and the 9's in the rear.

here are the description of the wheels and what sizes they have incase anyone was wondering../

Perhaps 17 offset in the rear would fit better then the 27 offset.
?

IMHO it'll look rediculous. You simply cannot get a stretched look on a 17x7, a 205 will fit quite squarely on that wheel, then you'll have the huge stretch in the rear. I don't think they make any narrower 17's than 205's. Two totally different styles mixed very badly is going to look stupid.

you can run the 17x9 +27 on all 4 corners with the 215's
or if you really wanna stagger, go 17x8 +28 in front
cuz 17x7 is just narrow and bleh

and dont listen to the haters. do what you want with your own car. im tired of opinionated people who are completely unaffected by my decisions (like the LS1 under my hood)

yah dont get teh 17x7, you will be kicking yourself later for not getting the more aggressive wheel size

5 lug, right?

I would run this combo...

17" x 8.0", +28 front
17" x 9.0", +27 rears

Run a 225 / 45 / 17 tire in front.
Run a 245 / 40 / 17 tire in rear.

This should clear anything you throw at it.
It should fit under stock fenders no problem...no rolling, nothing.

If you're going to insist on 9.0" rears, get the 8.0" front.
Running big stagger just induces more understeer into the set-up.

Alright thank you.

It seems like an overall better set up the more you explained it.

andd thank you Josh18_2k

I don't know if this was directed at me or what, but I was just trying to point out that he'd have had two very different looking setups on the front and back which would look uneven and silly. At least with big stretches most of the time it's at least more or less even.

not trying to take jabs.
