xxr 962s indeed! Originally I had the 18x8.5/9.5 staggered, but I picked up a pair of 17x9's for the front and still have the 18x9.5 in the rear. I dig it a ton for as cheap as the wheels were

^I've seen 962's on an FC but did not like due to the offset. Didn't think they would amount to much being dished either but now that I see them, I am contemplating. I was hell bent on rota p45r with an aggressive low offset or the rota rkr's (rs watanabe rips). sadly I can't afford actual nismo/rays or watanabe wheels. xxr makes some really nice looking wheels for a couple hundred cheaper then rota so maybe go this route. thats for 17's, I think 18's only look good if you have BN aero. Which I am not going that route.

just to give you an idea, too, I have 2 of the cheap autozone spacers on each wheel up front and 1 on the rears. They're 5/16" thick which is about 8 mm.

Thanks for the info. but the offset of the wheels themselves make them alot nicer then the other set I saw on another FC. low offset makes these awesome imo. Also, cheap spacers no bueno. I would not trust them from cracking, on my car anyway. I run pbm coilovers (old style) which are pretty stiff on full soft even and I live on crappy roads and drift a little as well as daily drive. I think that I would go with some legit spacers and especially some legit studs and not china no name stuff. hope they work out for you though, not sure what you are running, cars purpose, road condition, etc.

I'm also on pbm coils and am definitely gonna get some quality spacers in the future. Thanks for the heads up. I've already lost a wheel on an on ramp once, so I'm pretty paranoid about making sure my wheels are fastened well and not using shitty parts. I just put those on as a cheap/quick adjustment but will upgrade soon
