Whats the Widest Wheel i can put in my FC without flaring fenders or rolling fenders or anything, wanna be as wide as possible but still look stock, if all else fails and i can't run 10in i'll flare them out before i take her to the paintshop, flares aren't that expensive on ebay

you can run a 17x9 front and 17x10 rear, but you'll have to a) have coilovers, b) roll the fenders alot, c) run lots of camber, and d) stretch the tires. Assuming you want the 10 in wide rears for a drag setup (i dunno if thats why) you'd be better off getting the flairs as long as they look good, or running a 9JJ with a 275 drag radial and flaring the rear an inch or so

I am here.



Alright well before thinking about wheel width I'd like to know what you're thinking about tire width. What is your objective for tire sizing both front and rear??



Thanks, Rishie



I don't know but you're gonna need to get like 30mm to run the 9 up front. BTW, in my experience coilovers only reduce backspacing on the FC, Macpherson Strut style.



How much power are you putting down and what type of racing are you looking to do?
