Default 5zigen FNO1R-C

Ive been looking for the 5zigen FNO1R-C wheels black with polished lip, and finally found one, the offset is as follows

front 17x7.0 offset 48mm bolt pattern 5-x114.3
Rear 17x8.0 offset 43mm bolt pattern 5x114.3
What kind of tires as far as szie would you guys recommend without having any rubbing issues?..im also planning to drop the car by at least an inch..any advice would be deeply appreciated..Thanks guys!

OEM offsets are:
+55 front
+65 rear

The smaller number on the offset......the more it's going to stick out from the wheels well.

Your intial question had +43 in the rear which is 22mm off the OEM offset.

22mm equates to about 1 and 3/8 inches.

You can get away with those offsets for daily driving/commuting. They are fine.

Run a 215/45/17 front tire Toyo T1S tire
Run a 235/40/17 rear tire Toyo T1S tire
You may be able to squeeze a 245 on there if your not that lowered. It may rub though.

Good luck.

See there you go. They should work.


When I meant lowered I meant a minimum of a 2.5-3 inch drop front and rear.
