FC: Wheel Fitment Thread

[infernosg]

I'd shoot for 17" wheels. Anything bigger looks strange on FC's, in my opinion. I really like the look of 16" wheels but wide tire options are hard to find. In my old setup I ran a square 16x8 +32 setup with 225/50R16 tires. That was about as wide as I could go in the front due to balancing fender and suspension clearance. A 17" wheel would have avoided the suspension (coilover locking collars, actually) due to the rim being further away from the hub.

I'm now running a square 17x9 +22 setup with 255/40R17 tires. Obviously this won't work with the stock suspension or bodywork though. I have the Shine Auto front fenders and I pulled the rear fenders somewhere around an inch. The rear would have likely fit fine with a higher offset.

Ok. That sounds good. I guess its obvious that my above post is assuming I use the Ronin fenders.... I guess we'll see what my mood is like when in comes time for that.. They look so good though.

Do you have photos of your current set up? I'd love to see it. In fact, I'd love if this thread was photos and specs.
