That's almost a full inch further out.
You just don't have that much space to play with up front...

Ok I just aquired a set of FD wheels super cheap and would love to put them on my FC. I done a bit of research and found that it would cause rubbin to the tires because of the Offset correct? Well was wondering where i could get spacers from, or something to avoid having this problem.

Tires, I'm looking at 225/50's all around, since I found a good deal on them. Hopefully it should clear everything alright?
Again, thanks guys for everything. Your help is much appreciated.

hitting the outer fender isnt the problem, with a high offset like that, you might rub something inside the fenders like your struts. might need some spacers to be safe, those specs are like fd wheels.

trying to figure out if my legend wheels will fit. same tire size, same rim size, however the legend has a +65 offset, which i heard is a big difference from the 86gxl offset. would the wheels fit?

maybe a slight spacer for the front. some people claim those sizes to fit... I think it would hit the shock on my car. so like a 3-5mm spacer should be good for the front. rears will be fine.

what offsets should i use with
17x9 in the front
18x9.5 in the rear......
without rolling teh fenders
17x9 in the front

for the rears, low 30's I think should do good without rolling... if you run like a 255 or smaller.

Look for those threads with FD to FC wheel fitment.
Hell, the archive has it right on the top.

Is there something I can measure so I don't have to ask about widths and offsets every time i find a wheel i like?
i'm not really sure i know what offsets are.
here's what i think:
higher number = wheel is closer to the car and more under the fenders
lower number = wheel sticks out away from body more
for a wider wheel, i need a lower offset, right?
I want to be able to figure out what wheels will fit my car without asking about every one.
