Been looking for some rims. They would be for a 91 FC project car. I want 245 or 255 if i can width tires in the rear. I know stock the car cannot fit that size but with a wide body kit you can. I was looking for something like the turbo 2 mesh rim with a lip for the rear. I have no idea as for back spacing but was thinking around 35+ or so. Can anyone guide me towards some number to work off of. I have no idea on what fits on these cars dude to me being in the honda scene for too long and a 45 offset will fit everything nicely. Help!!

dont get 20s, they lok way too big on an fc.



if you are running over fenders in teh rear (i am assuming 50mm) you can run awesomely wide wheels. off the top of my head i remember seeing a set with a 18x12-13 and they aer super flush. with 20mm fronts i think you can run something like 18x10-10. but search around the forums and you should be able to see other people and ask what their fitment is.

17 or 18" wheels look pretty good and handle well in a 7 to 8" wide variety. Most FWD wheels will fit, the offsets are pretty close, but with a widebody kit the sky is the limit, especially in the rear.

fwd offset is terrible on stock fenders just by rolling the fenders you can EASILY fit 17x8+20 all around.
