5-lug, 4.50 bolt circle, 5.72 backspace.

i know the 5x114.3 (4.5) will fit.....they're 17x8 im guessing 5.72 is the offset in standard and not metric...

but will these fit my FC?

backspace is not offset but similar
backspace is approximately rim width / 2 + offset, convert to inches
That backspace fits in rear but not in front.

Yep, those are the wheels and tires I am using, as well as at least 3 other forum members I know of. The fender clearance is damn close up front, but they fit, no rubbing even with a slightly lowered suspension (tociko springs/struts). Here are a few pics to give you an idea of the stance.





*note* - There is no engine/tranny in my car at the moment, hence why it is sitting so high.

I still think they are way too tight up front, but the pictures don't lie.

they tuck in under suspension compression due to the camber change.
