Default FN01R-C 17x10 -12 fitment

Anyone run these at all corners? If so, any special mods necessary for clearance? Also, what tire sizes have you stuffed on them given the sizes? I'm afraid the +12 is slightly too aggressive, but I know you track guys make exceptions and make things work.

Thanks for any feedback.

17*10-12 will be:
50mm more aggresive in the front..
37mm more aggresive in the rear..

depends on what size tire you are going to run???

It will fit in the rear, but the front is a little more challenging.

Actually , we jusy buy stuff that works to begin with. For track you want to stay in the +20 to +30 range.

I was assuming that was just typed wrong. I hope so at least.

It's not. Think you can get some more meat in there with the 40mm+?

I used to run 17x9 +35 and you can get more meat in the rear. Not sure about the front since I haven't mounted the +15F yet, only rear.

17x9 +15R
17x9 +35F

17X10 -12? Thats rediculous.

If you want to run wide tires you had better be conservative about your offsets. Just as an example I run a 10 +35 in the rear to fit a 305 tire wit hthe fender rolled flat and -2.5 camber. I run a 9 +22 to fit a 275 tire with -2.5 camber.

A 295 tire will fit in the rear with a 10 +25 and a rolled fender. I have tried so many tire wheel combo's it's crazy. I know what will fit and won't.

Those offsets are for stretched tire poser cars equiped with tow hooks that never see the track.

Get some propper fitting wheels.

I run 17x10 ET25 with 275-4-17 RA1s all-around on track

Note I run a 3MM spacer in the front only to give a little more clearance between the wheel and the suspension upright. Only have enough to barely slide my little finger between the wheel and Upright....close..........the

I would personally find it help for people to also post what wheels they run when they mention their setup.

I'm looking at 17" unstaggered setups and I'll often find someone mention their wheel and tire width as well as offset but then I have to start searching for what wheels and tires fit the criteria.

I'm lazy! (and cheap)

hey jet, would a 17x10.5 with +27 offset fit a 315/35-17 out back with fenders rolled and -2 camber?


I'm running 18x9.5+30 all the way around with 275/35-18's OP.

Hi.
That's why I'm asking. I'm pretty well-versed with wheels for Z32/Z33s, but I was shopping for a dedicated set for the Z33, as my Z32 wheels require a spacer to work on the Z33. I saw a used set of FN01R-Cs with the stats I listed above. I didn't think they'd work, but I know most guys run in the +20 offset area, making the +12 a bit of a stretch. Thanks for the feedback.

BTW, I run a 19x10.5 +43 with a 10mm spacer in the rear with a 305 for DD with no fender roll required. The front has a 275 to match it.

Heads-up: The seller tells me they are +12 , not -12, which makes a lot more sense.

^ there are PLENTY of negative offset wheels. But everyone should know that the FNO1RC only comes in positive offsets. And the +12 is one of them. So yes a 17x10 +12 will fit on all 4 corners. I run 18x10.5 +15 with 285/30 F/R...so your setup wheel wise will sit just as mine does.

Wow. With your 10.5" set-up at +15, that does put the two set-ups near each other. I'm surprised your front fits without rubbing or sticking out. Can you upload a few pics of your set-up? Thanks.
