as title, whats the lowest offset you can run on an FD, i have some super nice, very rare mega dishy alloys that i was gonna put on my silvia, now thats going i wanna try and get them on the FD, here are the sizes:
fronts:9x17 ET0
rears: 10x18 ET24

no chance on a stock body
i run 8.5j et 30 front *just* and 9j et 30 rear with archs rolled under

[skybusr34]

doh. some body hit me with a big stick. sorry. i was way off he he.

flare your archs and make em fit!!!

I would say a 35 is about the widest off-set your going to get under without rolling or cutting,

I ran 32 on the back of one of my FD\'s and had to sort the lip,

I have been told that there are companys that will machine the back of your rim to give you a lower off-set and was told Elite wheels in Rainham Essex could do this but have no personal experiance to pass on.

i took 5mm off the back of some rear wheels i got cheap, and 3mm off the front, to make them the same offsets i have on my other two sets. I\'ve tracked them hard and they are fine. Not sure i\'d want to take any more than that though...

p.s. offsets are a certain amount on a certain car for a reason....putting silly offsets on your car just cos they look good is a fast way to make your car handle like ****, tramline badly over white lines or bumps, etc etc

if they dont fit when i have rolled and flared the arches then they are getting sold tbh, i wouldnt even consider letting someone machine the backs of these, the cash i get should buy me some nice wheels for the RX hopefully

i carnt see the pics of the wheels but i know a few people run low offsets.

i think ENVYD is running ET12
