FD3S 5zigen 17" recomended wheels
I was looking for a old vintage look for my FD3s for a long while (9 years) , I use the car for the street and race at the track (circuit , no drag) , knowing that the 18" wheels don't work well at the track , the only option was 17".
I'm so happy with my choose that I want to share with you my how it goes.
Theses are the 17" 5zingen option that the brand recommend for the car

!7" x 8" +35 front
17" x9" +42 rear
Never like the way that the original rear wheels looks very inside the fender , this ones where a perfect fit.
Tires 235/45 R17 and 255/40 R17

What suspensions are u on? (how much lowered?)
Would you say that 17x9 35 offset would stick out past the front fender?
Nice look by the way. I'm after the same but i'm on s-tech springs which lower A LOT...

I got the eibach springs with koni shocks, suck set up , work good for the street , better than original but the springs and it dosent drop too much the car in the rear , so the nose of the car get very low.
But I will go with the Tein springs the next time , they look lots better, and they work better also.

I ran the 17x10 +25 at all four corners. just rolled the front fenders and light roll on the rear. tucked in the fenders very neatly w/o sticking out and also had the concave face if you like that look of course
