I don't think they will fit, especially up front.

We're talking FC, right?

depends on what you want to do.



i take it you dont like staggered fitments?

goodwin74

the staggered fit i like alot. but i just dont know if that would work on my car. i cant wait to put all my parts on my car. i'm stocking up and when i have my 2 weeks of vacation i'll be putting everything together. i also saw the hp evo rims that i thought would look good on my car but i dont about the mesh look.

I don't mind them, it looks tough, put I have more fun in the turns than hauling *** in a straight line, I just wouldn't want anything to take away from that.

The offsets are too high, the wheels will be tucked in too much, at least for my taste. Plus, the front tires might rub on the suspension depending on your setup. I would run closer to a +30 offset up front if you want to be safe. I had a +20 with rolled fenders and I could have gone lower. This is for an 8" wheel.



If you're going to run wider fenders, I'd go with a 17x9 +15 or close to that with a 235/40/17. Although it seems kind of pointless to run such big wheels on a N/A car. But it will look good.



Mesh wheels look great on FC's.
