i sure there is tons of threads on this topic... in the first 7 pages i only found 2 threads...

so id like a revision to bring a new one up front of the search!

specifically white on white if anyone has that

i just bought rs limited akari's. havent put them on yet as i dont have tuner lugs and need coils.

thanks

 

Before doing that what's the offset of the wheel? It must be a 7.5" wide wheel since it's a RS limited. This wheel is kinda ehh, for the FC. I know, you got a great deal and couldn't refuse.

Ideally you'd want to try running a wider wheel, imho, especially if going 18". Also what suspension are you running, just standard strut and spring combo? Or coilover?

My tire suggestion will be a 225/40/18 if it's only 7.5" wide. I personally don't think FC's with stock body look good with 18's in the front, but I have done and do like the 17" front and 18" rear setup. This is one of my favorites.

This, on my GTUs, are 17x8 and 18x9.5 Enkei RP01. Running 225/40/17 and 255/35/18 tires. I have coilovers and can setup my stance perfectly so keep that variable in mind also.

 

wow... that looks good! never woulda thunk that you really cant see the difference in rims size.

yah they are small tires on it.. 215/35/18. also they are 7.5 with +40-45 offset. im looking to get some ground control right now.

i really hope i dont have to turn around and sell them(if they look retarded). thanks for the pic!

 

Honestly they will look retarded. They will look super sunk in the rear. Then when you lower the vehicle it's just gonna look out of place. The offset is just too high for this car. It will work, but probably not with ground controls.

I wouldn't even mess with them bro. The 215/35/18 tire is way undersized for the FC As well. You're gonna rack up more miles and the tire won't fill up the fender well.

 

well ill give it a shot... i had a tsw catalunya's picked out, even had the right offsets for staggered 18x8(38) and 18x9(35). but the price was wonky. the car hasnt touched the floor for a couple months as i have everything exhuast related ripped off for a do over right now.. ill try to post when i get them on there so you can see.

thanks for the chit chat.
