starion wheel fitment on a fc?

Hello, couple of questions appreciate the help and answers.

main question being how do they fit on the fc 16x9 and 16x8? i heard it will stick out pass the fender about an inch or so.

Second question, anyone know of the weight of these wheels??? Supposively heard they are around 18 lbs or so.

last question, anyone have pictures of these wheels on a rx7?? I know someone here had it on their car before!!!

Thanks
Ray

info 4 u

16x9 is +0mm
16x8 is -10mm

that would be a pretty aggressive size for a FC
stretchy roll/pull quite probable

Must be the rears, 'cause Starions didn't have meshies.

i have no pics of them on FCs

i do have a few on 240's, just to give you an idea of what they look like.

painted polished:



unpainted. i *think* these are starion wheels anyway. it's someone from the local forum.



rest assured, that **** will stick out like all hell on a FC.

i'm not enough of a FC fitment expert to tell you exactly what you need to do.

iirc bcool had 9" front with a roll and pull and 10" rear with a roll. he posted some pictures a while back. unfortunately i dunno what offset or tire size he was running. you could try pming him for more info. once you know that info you should be able to figure out what you'll need to do to fit starion wheels.

with coilovers and lilttle camber adjustment, these will fit the FC. spiritRX-7, the reason why it's sticking out so much for you and mike is because you guys only have lowering springs; last time i remember anyways.

get some full adjustable coils, camber plates and those wheels would fit fine..
