Questions about my multi piece wheels, need some wise guys!
Just had a question, maybe someone can help answer...I have a set of OZ mito however the stamp is shitty to read, need a microscope to make out the numbers...and i realized that today the faces were swapped...
So...the faces say. 17x8.5 et 41 and 17x10 et 45...
however the faces are on the wrong barrels. 8.5 face on the 10", 10" face on the 8.5...
Would this affect my ET #'s?

After measurements today i came to these 2 wheels sizes..
17x8.5 et45 (2" lip)
17x 10 et 41 (3" lip)
Just threw them on the car for a test fit by eye ball and the fronts werent too bad...could proboblly pull the fender or buy wider fenders..
The rears are my main concern. i havent seen an 10" rear on an FC yet in the picture thread without an et 20 or something close.
I would PREFER to stay on stock body for the rears. If i dropped down 1/2" lip size on the rear to 2.5" lip. thats still a 9.5" wheel.
1. Is this possible with stock body?
2. shine rear over fenders for an 10"?
Im gonna keep searching, figured id post this up meanwhile!

You will need spacers, that is it. You can fit both of those wheels with decent tires under the stock body.
You need around 20mm in front and 5-10mm in the back. You'll have to measure, but the wheel will be very close to the rear trailing arm as is. It may even hit.
I run 17x9.5+30 out back with 275 tire's. I could run a 10 without issue.

OK! so i packed up the wheels and took them down to VR wheels today to have them check them out and give me actual numbers...
turns out these are NOT what i thought they were...
THEY ARE IN fACT
17x11 et 14 ( 8 inch barrel, 3 inch lip) which explains the mad poke in the above pic.
17x8.5 et 24 (6.5 barrel, 2 inch lip)
I can turn front wheels lock to lock without touching anything...but sticks out about 20mm....The rears have finger width of room between the arm and barrel..
THE REARS...are what concerns me.. I had about 2 inches or so , measured with a straight edge, tire in the air from the rim...from the fender..
i put a block under the wheel to compress the shock a bit and the wheel came in a little closer...
I am thinking with a 2 inch lip i will have 1" or less to make up in camber/fender rolling..leaving me with a 17x10.

Sorry I just responded to your PM.
I figured the measurement or offset had to be wrong.
Anyway, get a 1 inch narrower outer barrel and that will put you at a 17x10 +38 which is nearly perfect. You might need a small spacer to keep the tire off the trailing arm, but that is dependent on tire size.
The fronts are fine, you can run up to a 17x9+24 with no issue with coilovers. You will just need a bit of negative camber.
