18\'s on an FC ?

[brooksie]

obviously dependant on offset / width etc but i guess 18\'s are no problem ??

ya, i have had 18x8s 40mm offset on my fc before, no problem with them with 225/40s all round

[brooksie]

ahh cool .. thanks m8 ... (got any pics of it btw with the car on 18\'s ?)

i\'ll need some archwork on the fronts and (very) flared rears but im looking at 18x9.5 on the front and 18x12 on the rears .. these babies

Have you had a search on some of the US 2nd Gen forums, i think there a few guys over there running big rims.

omg, those rims are fat, whats the offset? and are the ones at the back reversed??

What tyres are you hoping to sqeeze in there out of interest.

i have 18x8 with 225/40/18, 38 offset. gives about 3mm gap between rim and front turret. rears no problem

i wouldnt go with 18\'s if your looking to get performance out of the car.  18" wheels are for show only if used on the FC and would just slow the car down compared to putting 16"-17" in there.. but im not flaming the use of them im just giving my 2 cents i would still love to see these wheels on your car lol  :wave

i agree mate, thats why ive kept mine sensible!!
