With the offsets, they will need spacers, but I like 'em.

I'm doing 30 mm over fenders out back, and 30 mm wider fenders up front.

You guys like 'em? Or, do you have other selections? The car will be either black or dark, dark metallic burgundy, so I will go with either gun metal (for the burgundy) or black wheels. I don't want bling, I want low-key/stealth. I definitely want 9 or 10" in the front, and 10 or 11" out back.

They look like low quality copies.

Why don't you go with Rotas or 5zigens?

Cheap, strong, looks great. Rota have replicas of Volks, Works, BBS, nd a few other big brands. Search 5zigens and Rotas on rx8club and rx7club and you'll see many positive things about them.

Zing. Heres one.

i like the FN01R-C and you have to go 9.5" and over for the width to get that big lip and the center section that looks dented in. Theres a widebody on rx7club with those rims. Looks amazing. 9inch front and 10 inch in the rear would look like this on a FD:

IIRC, they're 17x10 and 245/40/17 on the rear.

I fucking HATE those wheels. I almost bought a set from Owenisfat at the 7 club, but just couldn't, because I truly hate them.

I dont much like the wheels either. You might find some body parts for the fc here though: www.body-kits-for-cars.com the site isnt live yet but a lot of the products are in place

just pick up some real mustang rims (because they are strong) and powdercoat them. I wouldn't get any cheapass rims. I've seen what can happen with them.

instead of building your own widebody FC, you can have my amazing widebody vert for a /very/very/ good price!

those are nice wheels but damn heavy.


Keep very close track of offsets unlessyou like the steering to feel funky.

How is it rice? I'm building a low, wide FC, and I want wide rims for wide tires to take advantage of more power and improved suspension...

It doesn't get any less rice than that, my friend.

Remember, there will be no tinted windows, no lame stickers, no obnoxious paint... Everything has a reason, it's all to improve performance. Personally, I like 18" wheels, and the ones I linked are good looking and not too flashy. If needs be, I can move down to 17s, but I would still want something pretty plain like these.
