Will they work?

I was wondering if this wheel set up would fit my FC;

18x8.5 offset 25 in the front

18x9.5 offset 30 in the rear

tried looking around to see if anyone else is running the same setup but i suck at using the search button and couldnt find anyone using the same set up

thanks

Definitely not without fender mods.

Roll, slight pull of the front fender, and a good 3 degs of neg camber. Also depends on tire size.

The rear will also need rolling, slight pull depending on tire size.

I'd suggest running a 215/40/18 and 225/40/18 to get that drifter stretch look, run some decent camber on the car and you can minimize the amount of fender work.

Regardless I still consider this a non stock fender setup.

it should fit really well and be flush with the fender edges, you will have to roll the lip edges flat for sure.

what size tires and what suspension are you going to be running?

in an extreme case you can fit a 245 front and 285 rear ($$$!) on those with mildly rolled fenders and stiff suspension, or you can dorifto it up with sizes like ARD_T2 mentioned without having to do much work.
