I really like the 5Zigen FN01R-C and decided to with 17" for various reasons

anyway, do any of you see a problem with this setup:
FRONT 17x8 +35mm offset or 17x8 +25mm offset
BACK 17x9 + 25mm offset or 17x8 +25mm offset

which combination is the best and is not goofy looking...

 

17x9 +20 or +35 front
17x10 +25 rear

The 8 and 9" widths will look too tucked in.

I have 18x9.5 +22 front and rear for my track set.

 

I have the 17x8 with +25 offset for all four. I wouldn't go with the +35 offset - not sure if you have brembos or not, but the +35 offset might hit the calipers on the 17x8 size. For you, I'd recommend going 17x9 +20 for all four wheels, or put the 17x10 +25 in the rear with the 17x9 +20 up front (BTW - I just looked on the 5zigen site - they don't list a 17x9 with a +25 offset). The only reason I chose the 8" rims was to be STX legal in autox; I run all four tires the same size - 245/45/17.

Here's a few pictures of my car with the FNO1R-C's:

Thanks

 

the 17x9 +20 offset is ONLY available in 4-lugs. you will have to go with 17x9 +15, which i prefer, or 17x9 +35, which will look a little bit more sucken in.

 

yeah i say 17X9 all around or 17X9 front and 17X10 rear.

17 would be for max performance, but 18's might look better if they come in that size.

How much do these wheels run?

 

Yep - my mistake! I saw the 114.3 but missed the '4' in front of it! IIRC, the stock offset is 30mm.

Some food for thought:

If you got the 17x9 with the +35 you'd be closer to stock offsets (assuming 30mm) but the outer edge of the rim would still stick out 7.5mm more than a stock 8" rim with +30 offset. Assuming this doesn't cause any clearance issues on the inside of the tire, I'd opt for this option since it will put less stress on the front axle compared to the +15.

The +15 option will stick out 27.5mm more than stock on the outer edge and your centerline of the wheel will be pushed out by 15 mm from stock, which will add some stress to the front axles. It probably isn't too much for the axle to handle, but you should know these facts before you make any decisions.

 

How much do the FN01R-C's (17x9 +35) actually weigh? Their site says 19-20 lbs, but edgeracing.com lists them as 17.5 lbs. Can anyone confirm?

 

Best thing to do is call the source directly

you can run a 17x9 +15 and a 17x10 +25
and it will look just fine.

We can get you 5zigen fno1rc at a great price.
