Wheel size question

Will 17x8 +35offset up front and 17x9 +40offset in rear fit on a stock body FC? Without having to go wide fenders I wanna know if these wheels will fit on my car. I also have TEIN Flex coilovers and its lowered so I have about 1/4 inch of space between tires and the wheel wells. Thanks for any advice!

No one answered because ITS BEEN COVERED OVER AND OVER AND OVER. SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theres even a 2nd gen wheel fitmit thread just a couple down from yours (its always bumped)!!!!

In short, I'll spoon feed ya (I like your avatar )and say yes, it'll fit. Worse case get a 5mm spacer front and rear but probly no need for one running a 225/40 front and 255/40 rear.

Sorry, I didn't see the thread originally, cause I did look, just in the wrong area. Thanks for the help, it looks like it'll be really close. Worst come to worst, I can just have my buddy roll the fenders a little if need be. He did it to my friend's FD and it looks really good! He now has 265s up front and 295s in the back. Its so sexy!

umm no. Your offsets put your wheel and tires close to the suspension, not the outter fender. Even with a tiny 5mm spacer (I think you wont need it, but maybe) you'll still have room so no fender rolling will be needed at all. I run wider wheels and tires and still didn't need to roll anything.
