Will these Rims fit my FC/FD?

I found a nice set of wheels...

I was wondering how the Fitment would be on both my FD and my FC...

Front is: 18X8.5 +32 offset
Back is 18x9.5 +35 offset


Help is Much appreciated..

Thanks,
would they stick out? or be tucked in?

would a spacer make them work?

FD, yes but you'll have to roll the front fenders. i know there's a few people running 8.5+35 in the front with rolled fenders.

the fitment is pretty aggressive by most peoples standards here so it'll sit further out and should look pretty good imo.

spacers effectively reduces offset meaning they'll push the wheels further out.

edit: and just to cover my *** incase someone gets on it, you'd probably have to run a 225 tire up front.

Yes on the FC and FD.

Roll the fenders and get coilovers for the FD.

Damn dude... 225's on a 8.5 Rim? shouldn't it be like 245 or 255?


so the only rubbing issues will be in the front? the back will be safe?

would a slight negative camber all around be enough?


Thanks for the replies boys..

I still think 8.5", +32 is just too tight inside for FC front.

i've spoke w/ smoeone running 8.5+35 and he's running 235 and rubs at times, but he doesnt have his fenders rolled. so, i'm going based on that.

back you'll be perfectly fine.
