Which wheels would be better for my FC?

As i stated in my intro post i just recently bought an 89 Turbo that is completely stock as far as i know at the moment. But it is missing wheels and tires (Kid took it to my buddies body shop and wanted to charge repairs for it...never came back thus how i got the car) I have checked into wheels and tires at the tire shop i used to work out and looked at a couple sets of wheels..just not sure which ones will fit better...

Both sets are made by core racing.

The first set is this wheel..the Drift



I can get them in 16X7 with a +33 Offset but im not sure if that will clear the suspension / body. Or i could go to a 17x7.5 with a +40 Offset

The other wheel is the Snyper



They come in the same offset as the 17x7.5 Drift wheels. They are also 17x7.5.

Opinions welcome.

personally none of them. They are just too retros for the FC.

I'd suggest just getting some used FD wheels and spacers. Call it a day.

THey will be lighter, faster, and stronger like the bionic man....

Maybe you're getting a deal on em but i'm sure there are plenty of other wheels you can get a similar deal on that are more fitting to the FC style.

Are they at least the correct offset for the FC? As long as i have that correct i will be able to search for different wheels. Hell if i could find them i would love to have a set of the BBS wheels that are seen on a lot of different FCs.
