17's on my FC
right now I have 15 inch aftermarket rims (I dont know what kind, they were on the car when i bought it), and I plan on buying the Bomex kit for my FC and my current rims arent "flashy" enough for that kit. I was thinking going with 17*7 on the front and 17*8.5 on the rear...will this fit with no suspension mods...and what tire sizes could I run with that? my current tire size is 205/60/15, and I'd like bigger with the Bomex kit.
I'd also like to put a 1-1.5 inch lowering kit...that is, if its possible with the 17's. can anyone help me out? what sizes do you guys run on your FC's? (I'd really like to know what rims/tires anyone has who runs the Bomex kit)

You can go all the way up to a 8" width up front and 9.5" in the rear with the removal of the heat shields around the muffler cans.
For more consultation PM me and I'll walk you through options and budget planning.
I can get you the Bomex kit as well.

I run intrax springs on one of my FC's and as a result it's limited me to using the Nitto NT555 225/40/17 as they're the only ones who produce that width and profile in that diameter wheel. Aside from Wynstar that is. I then use 255/35/18's in the rear. The other FC runs a 255/40/17 in the rear.
That's the only drawback i can see. use a +35 to +40 offset and you'll be fine.
