Yes, I did that for 2 years on my old car, 1000 miles a month.

Did you use extended studs?

MaczPayne

iTrader: (5)

Nope. 5mm is about the largest you can get away with though. I wouldn't even try running thicker spacers with factory studs.

Ok cool. Safe to drift/track with?

you could always run et lugs for added security/peace of mind

Tracked it once, but no drift.

If I was going that far I'd probably just buy bolt-ons


No issues?

DO IT! i was going to get those wheels but im going a different route. post pics up when you do =]






planning to get some 16x9 0s in the rears with either a 205 45 or a 215 45.

would they clear the fenders without a roll?

Fleemer

looking at some

17x9 +22 front (going to run 225/40/17)

17x9.5 +12 rear (255/40/17)

or

17x10 +22 rear 255/40/17 (going to guess to wide)

Some camber in the front, and whatever the rear is for having it lowered, looks like 1-5 deg.

I think you'll need a roll if you're lowered. The tire will definitely grab at the lip when you hit bumps.

Sounds good. You'll need a roll and flare either way, and if you flare the fronts enough, you'll be able to fit 255's.

Fleemer

trying to avoid flaring. I know the rears will fit with the camber i have, fronts will be another story. ~~~

Just so I know what I'm getting myself into and hopefully someone can tell me if this will fit and/or look okay - I know there are literally dozens of people who have posted their wheel sizes, but I want someone to double check my plans:

Front: 17x7 +38mm, 215/45-R17
Rear: 17x8 +35mm, 235/45-R17

can someone please tell me if this will look good? Once again, just want to double check - I've been picking out wheels for the last four days and really want to make sure the sizes I get will look good. Thanks a ton. Is everything going to line up okay? I don't want one wheel to stick out further than the other.

CrossfireCurt

iTrader: (2)

Scratch that. How about this:

Front: 17x7 +38mm, 215/45-R17
Rear: 17x8 +35mm, 245/40-R17

Will these be pretty flush with the fenders?

Has anyone considered the Axis Klassics yet? Kinda thinking about it (Johnson why?!)
The 17x9.5 +20 isn't out yet but just wanted to throw that out there. I got a feeling that my front suspension will absolutely not clear 17x8.5 +15 easily (available for $250). I'm using Tanabe GF210s so I'm wondering what kind of a roll (or spacers?) I'm expecting if I go this route.

I figure if I have to roll using something smaller in the 16s I might as well get bigger wheels.

The front suspension will clear with 17x8.5 +15

Still waiting for the 9.5's +20

Excite! It's going to look just smashing.

Red_Rabbit86

i have noticed that there are a lot of 17" rims, but how why dont ppl use the 18" rims more often i was thinking of a 18x8 in +25 front 18x9 in +10-15 rear? would that work. i know i am going to play with spacers and i know i have to get new studs but anyboyd know of a good place to get longer studs that will hold?

h_block88

msw wheels
17x8 in the front 42 offset with 5mm spaces 235/45/17 tires
17x9.5 in the rear 45 offset with 5mm spaces 255/40/17 tires

I am running 17x9 +28 CR Kai on my rx8, with a 245/45 tire. I am curious if that will be pretty flush on my FC. It has gr+ pros and i have camber control rods in the rear, so i can adjust if need be. Will i have to pull the fenders? I don't mind rolling them though. I figure that i also my need to run a shorter tire, like a 245/40 in the front. LMK.

Trevor

Fleemer

any touching in the front or rear?

h_block88

Rear wheel is about 2mm from touching the shocks and tires do rub just a bit when cornering to hard , I ordering my 10mm spaces today that should fix. Fronts are close too but they are fine.

5mm spacer in the front to avoid rubbing the coilovers, and you'll be good to go.

17x9 -0 all around. 215/35F & 235/40R. m-sports 30MM front fenders, rolled/pulled rears.
