IWSTI Addict since: Aug 2005 Trader Rating: (1) | I'm looking at getting the FN01R-Cs but I'm tied up as to the size I should get. I'm currently running JDM Pinks and it seems that 17x9 would be no good, so I was looking at either the 17x8 +35 or the 18x8.5 +48 on Kumho Ecsta MXs. T3h_Clap said that the 17x8 +35mm FN01R-Cs would need some modification, but I couldn't get an answer to what degree I would need to modify. Spacers, camber, and/or rolling? If I were to run FN01R-C 18x8.5 +48 5x114.3 and Kumho Ecsta MXs, what would be my max tire size without modifying the fenders or extreme rear camber? This ad is not endorsed by this member.

IWSTI Addict since: Aug 2007 Trader Rating: (0) | go with 18x8.5. why would you look at 17x8 when it's the same size as your stock wheel? on the 18x8.5 you can go as wide as 255/35. 245/40 would fit but it's not recommended because it's too tall. 235/40 is a good size but it's kinda narrow. there's also 245/35 but selection in that size is next to nothing. |

IWSTI Addict since: Dec 2004 Trader Rating: (7) | I didn't want to take the 9" thread OT to talk about an 8" wheel. anyway, the 8" +35mm will have the same issues as the 9" wheel would do to the low offset. I would suggest going with a 18x8.5 +48mm and a 235/40/18 as it wont rub with your suspension. anything wider runs the risk of rubbing. if you're willing to do mods so it doesn't rub you could go wider.
