*Post yo wheels thread* 2020 edition
For some reason I feel like wheels are harder to match on FD's than most cars. not sure why... maybe the bar is just set higher since they're such beautiful cars to begin with.
What are you running and how do you like them? Remember to post the model and what size/offset you're using.
I'll start off with a classic choice (not mine), CCW "Classics":
I would love to see an FD with a set of CCW D110's using the same color scheme as above:

What did you have to do to make those fit?
You just need +45 offset to fit the 18x11 wheels.
To fit the wide tires you need the +45 offset as well to center the tire between fender and suspension, but also have to roll the front fenders and max the front camber adjusters to about -2.5 degrees.
In the rear you can roll the fender lip under or run some camber, I chose to roll the lip under.

Did some research on the wheels that came on my car when I bought it.
Enkei Shogun RACESPEC S-09's
I think they look pretty slick and suit the car, but I'm not much of a wheel nut myself.

I basically measured the car and ordered the right offset wheels.

18x10 with 7.5" back space (works out to +50 offset) is the classic CCW FD fitment. An 18x10 wheel will measure ~11" wide as wheel width is measured from bead seat to bead seat.
If an 18x11 wheel (12" wide) has a 7.5" backspace it would be +38 offset and so would fit 14mm narrower tire than +45 offset (7mm too close to fender, requires 14mm narrower tire because tire centers itself on the wheel).
If 18x11 was +50 offset it would hit suspension on FD because it would have 8" backspace.
My 18x11 +45 is 7.77" backspace. Its really close ti trailing arms, shock bodies and swaybar.

For tires I have run these wheels on-
3 sets 295/30-18 Hankook Ventus TD Z221
1 set 285/30-18 BFG R1S
1 set 285/30-18 Ventus TD
current Hoosier made Continental Rolex GT rain tires (non DOT) 305/650R18 (305/30-18).
Next tire I plan to try is either 295/30-18 Nankang AR1, 315/30-18 AR1 (a bit tall) or Nitto NT01 315/30-18.
I have a bit of room for more width, but up front it is the tire diameter that becomes an issue and will rub the plastic wheel well liner (area that shows in the engine bay) and the back of the wheel arch/mud flap which I dont like.

Ok, we should list full specs because as we can see even alignment will influence wheel offset required.
Each degree of negative camber pushes tire/wheel inboard at top ~5mm toward suspension.
Each degree of toe in will foul trailing arms 5mm.
My set-up
18x11 +45
305/30-18
rolled front fender, lip rolled inder rear
25.5" ride height
Front -2.4 deg camber, 0 toe, ~7-8deg caster
Rear -1.2 deg camber, 1/16" total toe
street, autox, kart track and hillclimb

Street beaters:
SVE Drift matte bronze
18X10 +43
Nankang NS2R 255/35/18 front, 265/35/18 rear
Autocross:
AMR Dark Stainless 18X10 +45
255/35/18 Hoosier A7's all around
No pics of these on the car yet
-2.5 camber all around to make the Hoosiers happy. Front fenders rolled and wheel liners shimmed up with home brewed mounting tabs.
I like both wheel sets. They fit great, are inexpensive, I like the style, and they are track proven on heavier, higher HP cars. The only downside to me is they are a bit heavy and they don't have the cool factor of high end wheels.
