I'm looking at getting Fn01r-c.
Stock FC Turbo wheels are 16x7 with a 40mm offset.
My car is lowered (IDK how much, but it's on the stock wheels).
Will 17x7 42mm offset fit? How much wider / more offset can I go? Thanks!

FNO1RC on an FC?
most guys run a 17x8 +25 or +35 front and a 17x9 +25 or +35 rear with a 235 front and 255 rear tire.
stock suspension or coilovers? the +35 cleared my tein flex by a hair up front. I think with non-coilovers you have more room inboard and might be able to fit a +40 but that would be very sunken in and look kinda goofy as well as not widening the track as far as possible/beneficial.

Why the different sizes front and rear? Arn't the stock wheels the same all around?

yes stock is same all around, but if you make any good power you will want a little more tire out back for controlled throttle exit, etc. but if you are just driving around an all stock motor'd car then sure, run 17x8 or x9 all around... if I was driving an all stock N/A then I'd surely have 16" or 15" super lightweight wheels to make the most of the cars power.

that would be a good fitment and nice tire choice, can you get a lower profile?

16x8 +4 on an FC would be WAY outboard, like rollerskate style.
FRFC3S, you should run the tried and true FNO1RC fitment, then base your tire choice on your driving style, needs and road conditions.... whether you should run a 235/40R17 or a 235/45R17 up front, it makes a difference in some instances.
the worry of a blowout is not needed, if you are close to the fenderlips then you can roll them upwards, but since you are not trying to be hella flush or hella wide, you can pick the right offset to clear everything and the right tire to clear as well. there isnt anything inboard or suspension wise that is something you should worry about unless you run lame *** offsets like +40 instead of the +35/+25 other people run time and time again with good results.

17x7 in front, 17x8 in the back? What was the offset again? +35 or +25?
If I turn the wheel all the way to one bank, it is 1/2 an inch from the inside of the wheelwell plastic stuff.
I have no idea on how to roll fenders so I'm trying to get rims that keep me from having to do that. Is there a writeup anywhere on how to do that if I need to?
#2312
I have injector envy!
OK a set of rims I can actually but this weekend.
SSR all chrome Proffesors with the deep dish face
17x9 +24
all around. please tell me I can make it work.

Will work with hippari stretch tire widths.
Will work with coilovers with added clearances.
Wil be tight in back to the fender lip - be prepared to roll that rear fender lip with 255 wide tires.
Might be able to clear stock rear fender lip with hippari stretch tire widths.

If you look at Josh18_2k's post a few pages back who's running a 255/40 tire on a 17x9+24 with tein flex's then I'd imagine a 17x9+25 with a 225/45 or 235/40 tire would work with minimal working of the the front fender.The 235/40 would be a better choice as it's a min. recommended tire width for a 9" rim usually.Again it all depends on what you are running for suspension,how low the ride height is,how bent the car is ,how much camber you are running etc.

"5h" = 5-hole bolt pattern
No guarantee it'll fit unless it's a 5 x 114.3mm or 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern.
Since it's a Mazdaspeed wheel, it's more likely made to fit the Mazda hubs.
