Will 15x8 0 offset fit my fc?

I have 15x8, offset is 0 since i like deep dish, would it fit my fc? I plan on running 205/55/15 front, and 225/whatever/15 rear. Any rubbing?

Wheel spacers don't help.
Those wheels will clear everything inside no problem.
It will hit the fender lip...on the front fenders.
Spacing them out with spacers will not help; it will make the problem worse.

Would a rolled lip help?

Why not remove the fenders all together?

You'd need to punch out the stock FC front fenders at least an inch to keep them covered...

I would call that a little more than a "roll".

Camber and roll and they may fit, but a +12 or so would probably be a little more practical. I have seen the dish face fn's on fc front before so I know its posible to fit decent wheels if you are not a *****.

they will fit, because they are so small a wheel (15") and the overall tire height will probably clear your fender lips.

they will be 1" farther out than is desired but many FC racers / autocrossers run wheels/tires that stick outside of the fender lips without problems, but of course thats on a relatively flat surface with stiffened suspension.

15x8 +0 is not even close to a good setup to run on the street. but if youre gonna stretch a skinny little teeny tiny wimpy tire over that 8" wheel then you have even more clearance so it depends on your tire choice too. that 15x8 +0 with a 195 widht tire stretched over it will definitely fit an FC but it would look completely stupid IMHO since a 245 fits up front and a 275 fits out back with the right offset and sized wheels.
