I just recently bought an NA FC. I havnt been around them much to know. Im looking to put wheels and coilovers on it and slam it and make it flush.
I have a 4 lug and looking to stay that way. I also really want 17" XXR 527 but im not to sure if they will fit. Im not looking to roll my fenders but if i have to thats fine.
The wheels again are...
17x8.25 +25 XXR 527's
Thanks

 

they will fit with modification to fenders
i bought these wheels for my subie and test fitted without tires

ill see if i can mock it up next weekend and post a pic

 

those will fit

 

thanks. yea i am expecting to have to roll my finders some. If you could post pics when you get it done. thanks

 

I will have pics up later this week of mine I ordered the 527's in 17x9.75 +25 all around I have coils and front and rear adjustment I am praying for the best

You don't buy wheels that fit your car

You buy wheels and MAKE them fit your car

Or so they say

 

And btw lam also 4 lug

 

Ok quick update I got the wheels on the back fits good no spacer with a 255 40 17 tire the front fits good but is super close to the coilover I think I will need a 5mm spacer to clear it the rim has a slight poke past the fender tho nothing more camber can't fix

 

Can u post some clearance pics with the 255 in the rear? Preferably between control arm and tire. Thanks, I'm not worried about fender, slight roll fix that issue.

 

Sorry for taking so long here is a picture

I will get one of the inner clearance tonight hopefully. The back is not a problem but do not order the 8.25 for the back the 9.75 seem tiny compared to the front in the pic I have a 25mm bolt on spacer on the back and 15mm spacer in the front just barely clears the front coils I would recommend the 8.25 fronts to any that does not want fitment issues the 9.75 with out a spacer will not even bolt on with out the spacer on it but the 8.25 is perfect for the front.

 

nice!

 

Alright well was the 25mm spacer needed for rear? What was fitment without spacer?

 

The 25mm spacer in the rear is just for a better look the rear fit fine on the back without the spacer the front just made the rear look sunken in because it is so aggressive

 

When they Are On With no spacer what's the clearance for fender and wheel? Is it flush like the xxr 522 +0? Meaning how far in is it with spacing? Can we get better pics like top shot from rear fender and from rear side?

 

The back with out a spacer fits fine it clears stock fenders with a slight roll to the inner lip mine are pulled pretty hard so they look funny without the 25mm spacer but like I said to avoid problems I would with out a doubt do 17x9.75 in the rear and 17x8.25 in the front for worry free fitment if you have coils but iam pretty sure it could fit stock struts too. The fitment in the back to fender on stock unrolled or pulled fenders would be decent but not super flush the inner clearance is not an issue either

Thanks for posting I'm just curious since I know how the 526 fits and the 527 comes with different offsets. The 526 are perfect fit for flush at 17x10 +20 but have liked the 526 style better. I'm thinks with the 526 a 5mm spacer for rear will give me what I want. Anyone know where I can get longer studs?

 

They say you can use late model corvett or camaro studs I have yet to prove this tho. I can say one thing tho properly sized tires and wheel width make the fc come alive my old 245 40 17 tires mounted on a 8 inch rim lacked so much in response to the 255 40 17 on the 9.75 inch wide wheels it is just not funny every thing is better turning and stopping but the most notice able feature is the acceleration form a stop driving normally or spirited the square tire almost acts like a spring and boost you off much better than the bubbled over tire and wheel combo.

 

nice!

 

how about 19 and 20" wheels on FC..anyone have any pics or links ?

 

19's up front 20's at the rear

 

Sorry, but these giant run on sentences are confusing me. So you are saying the 17X9.75 should fit fine on the rear with no spacer, and the 17X8.25 are find in the front but very close to suspension? And in the first pic you are running a +25 in the rear?

I was also considering these wheels in these sizes, but I would not want to use spacers more than 5mm or have them poke out past a stock fender.

 

...... I ws trin to say that on a stock body (no pull no roll) the 17x8.25 will fit alot better than the 17x9.75. and for the rear the 17x.9.75 will fit with more than enough room (to me it is "sunken" in to much for my taste). one thing i will say is ORDER SOME HUB RINGS 60mm to 73mm. also in the front the if you get the 17x8.25 which will fit with out a spacer the dust cover for the hubs will not clear with the center caps on. my bolt on 15mm spacer for the front fixed that tho.

 

thank god for this thread..

im getting these wheels.. staggered 9.75's in back and the 8.25's front!!! thank you guys

 

wait a minute, what is the hub ring for?

 

yes the front center cap wont fit. i just put mine on last night. they stick out a good bit from the finders and clear the stock suspension. Right no im on the xxr 527s with stock suspension and my fc is lifted for off roading haha. ill take pics soon with stock suspension. My coilovers are being made and cant wait to get them.
