FC: Wheel Fitment Thread

[project86]

Im gonna open this back up because i've been searching high and low for square wheel fitment specs and cant really find much (including photos).

I noticed TED had a lot to say. I found an old thread on the other forum in regard to the Roni n Speedworks wide body fenders. I currently have a slight interest in running those and did find a guy running a square set up with them but they were 12" wide and thats excessive for what im going to be doing with this car.

That being said I may just need to stick with the stock fenders and just fill them up well for the sake of practicality. Soooooo......... Here is what i want...

The widest I can go on the stock body (unless I can run the Ronin fenders and it no look stupid). 17" wheel is ideal .. maybe a 16.

My plan is that this will be primarily street driven but I do plan to get into some auto-x and hpd. I will also slay the dragon once a year.

I found this site http://www.rimsntires.com/packages.j...&req=newsearch a while ago when I considered replacing the BBSs because I thought my tire size was no longer available.

I shared that in this thread. . http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...ad.php?t=18916 which had a good conversation with helpful info.

Obviously limitations are gonna be with the stock suspension but there are options out there. If the above calculator is correct then you can use that to give you an idea of what is available from whatever wheel manufacturer. .

Thanks Zach. Obviously the stock suspension is going to be changed so that won’t really be an issue when it’s time. Thanks for those links.

By the way.... I got an email from Ronin. This is what it says:

For a square setup I'd do either

295/30r18 on 18x10.5+0 (easy fitment: the white FC on our website is mine and is basically running this)

OR

315/30r18 on 18x11+5 (more aggressive, especially fronts, some added clearancing is likely)

Id prefer to run a 17” wheel so I’m unsure if simply changing the sidewall size would make a huge difference. Would it?
