5ziggen fnr01 c

[chandler]

yeah I probobly spelled it wrong, oh well, I know the popular offsets and all , and Im not asking will they fit, I want to know what setup it is on the ones that go out from the hub at an angle on the rear wheels, I saw it on alex phifer's car in his garage on tv today and thats the type of dish I would like on my rear wheels. kinda sits on the hub then goes out to the outside lip, what offset will work on the back of an s14 se model, I will have some coilofers by then. Right now I just would like some help finding the offset of that wheel

depends on the width. Honestly, FN01R-Cs are overpriced, there are better wheels for the money, they just generally have a 40mm offset (which is fine for a 7" wheel, stock wheels are 40mm, so you're just adding half an inch of backspace). Even though people who buy FN01R-Cs feel good about paying like 70+ extra dollars/wheel for 5mm of offset, which is completely unnecessary, and I doubt you could even tell the difference visually between 40mm and 35mm. We're talking about half a centimetre here, folks. To get that sunken look on a wheel with the design of the FN01RC, you're probably talking an offset of +10 or less, which they only make on pretty wide wheels as far as I know.

the only dished fno1rc is the 17X10 +12, in a 17in size. I dont know if there is a dished 18 inch size. The reason most people buy these wheels is because in 5 lug, they have 17X9 +15 , almost a perfect offset for a S chassis car with stock fenders, or 10 inch with a little flared fenders. The other guys with 4 lug, its the only good looking wheel with a 17X9 +20 that is mass produced, which is almost perfect for a stock S13 with a little roll but no flare needed to fit. That's why most people buy these wheels. Thats what i have, i wish it was a +15 but it still looks good.

Everyone who buys the 17X8 +35, maybe they like its, thats fine, i hate the look, its sunken and imo its stupid. I would buy a crappy set of konigs or rotas if I wanted a crappy looking offset and its cheaper.

For the money, this used to be the only wheel people could easily get that fit s chassis perfect for the price. Now, we have grenade wheels for sale in the states, and the dt-01 were for sale for a short while, but i dont see them much anymore. But before those wheels, there weren't any 200ish dollar wheels in +15 or similar offsets. Now, these are the only 4 lug wheels other than the hanabi that come in a 17X9 +20. and they look better. worth the money as long as you buy the right size.

well, I like the look of 5 spokes and I want a relatively light weight wheel, and this was it and relatively inexpensive, im sticking with 17", but on the rear I want that sunken kind of look on the hub, I would really appreciate a pic if you have it on an s14 5 lug with this wheel

This thread shows the dished 17x10 +12 on a S13http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=121981

Do you know where I can find out about Grenade wheels? I googled the name and didnt find anything relevant.

[chandler]

I would liek to have that look but willa 17x10 fit on a s14, in the rear of course, and what about a 9.5 up front

[inkslynger]

i have an s14 with 17x10 on the rear no rubbing at all =35 with 255-40

[chandler]

thanks man, what about the front tire? what size are you running up there? wheel wise also. And as for the rear cant you get a tire a little wider? it looks streched, and im looking for a little flusher rim tire combo

[inkslynger]

another pic

[inkslynger]

sport lines and agx

[chandler]

you have it lowered? coil overs?

[chandler]

I have nismos on mine struts and springs, I like that look, what size is up front?

[inkslynger]

17x8 235-40 i can go wider in the rear i will when i kill these tires are yokohama advans

[chandler]

your car looks sweet man what else ya got, I see the exhaust

[inkslynger]

i just got the car about a month ago exhaust is apexi gt spec i did the sway bars injen intake for no i will be getting a turbo kit soon heres my trunk

[chandler]

thats nice man, im probobly gonna put a direct port system under the manifold, but as for wheels im probobly gonna go with a 9.5 in the rear and a 8.5 in the front, will a +15 offset in the rear give me a flush look and what about a +25-35 in the front?

[hannibal]

17x8 235-40 i can go wider in the rear i will when i kill these tires are yokohama advans

you said the fronts are 17x8. Whats the offset, 25 or 35??

Chandler, they only make 17x8, 17x9, and 17x10

[inkslynger]

35 front and rear

[raging panda]

17X9 +15 F and R, just roll the lips up on the fenders. Super flush, if thats what you are into, I know I am.

[chandler]

thanks panda, im looking for flush mostly, but I like the look of the sunken hub on the 17x10, other than that look I want a big polished lip, but I Cant really find ones I like all that much

[chandler]

how do you roll the lip?
