I'm looking at rims for my future FC, and i'm probably going with RETed's suggestion



17" x 8" +27mm offset (+30 to +25 should work) with 225/45/17 up front
17" x 9" +20mm offset (+15 to +30 will work) with 255/40/17 in back

if anyone has this setup, please post pics. BN sport bodykits are a plus. looking through the wheel fitment threads i couldnt find exactly what i wanted to see

 

Not sure if this is close enough to help, but I have 17 x 8.5" 42mm off set with 17mm adapters (net 25mm offset) with 225/45-17 on the front my FC. I used an Eastwood tool to roll the front fender lips. I still have the KYB AGX struts and Eibach springs on there and clearance is not an issue.

 

My car
17x8 225/45/17
17x9 245/45/17
offset I am unsure of,off the top of my head.It's been awhile.

 

thanks guys. im just trying to decide between 17's or 18's. 17s are cheaper and probably better for track use, so i just wanted to make sure they look ok first!

 

Stick with 17's - the tires are typically less expensive plus the added side wall height offers better ride and more predictable handling on the street and the 17" rims are typically lighter weight as well.

 

My rear fitment isn't what you're looking for but my front should help!

17x8 RPF1s, ET 32, on 225/45/17 Advans, with a stock alignment setup.

 

Whoops, something went wrong with the picture, sorry.

 

Fitment looks fairly flush, how does it look in person? What's your rear setup look like?

 

17x8.5 +30 255/40-17 front and 17x9.5 +40 275/40-17 rear.
