Rims Fitting
#1
Might get a set of rims for my FC. THe front are 17X8 +27 offset and rear are 17X9 35+ offset. ALL 114.3 / 5
I did some calculations using the backspacing of the stock wheels and look like the rims should fit with no problems, spacially in the fronts.
Any comments ???

WHEEL 1: 16x7 +40
Dist. hub from centerline: 40mm
Dist. inner lip to hub: 128.9 mm
Dist. outer lip to hub: 48.9 mm
WHEEL 2: 17x8 +27
Dist hub from centerline: 27mm
Dist. inner lip to hub: 128.6mm
Dist. outer lip to hub: 74.6mm
WHEEL 3: 17x9 +35
Dist hub from centerline: 35mm
Dist. inner lip to hub: 149.3mm
Dist. outer lip to hub: 79.3mm
TO MEASURE:
WHEEL 2: 17x8 +27 is:
0.3mm further from the strut
25.7mm closer to the fender lip
WHEEL 3: 17x9 +35 is:
20.4mm closer to the strut
30.4mm closer to the fender lip
Remember that there are 25.4 mm in an inch. Disclaimer: Please don't use my calculations as a bible, I may have messed up somewhere.. (I doubt it, but hey.)
