Okay first things first I am looking towards the 5Zigen FN01RC.A few questions:A. Do all offset FN's that are 17x10 have curved spokes?B. If I wanted to put said 17x10's on the rear and I didn't want to pull/roll the fenders what offset would fit best providing that not just the 17x10 +12's aren't the only ones with curved spokes?C. I would want an adjustable suspension for some weekend track duty (nothing heavy) but mostly for a lower stance for DD.D. Should I just roll and pull my fenders anyways?E. Yes I searched in the fitments thread and i saw the 17x9 +15 and 17x10 +12 FN's but wanted to know if you could accomplish that without a roll/pull by using higher offsets and i don't like the flat 17x9's in the rear.F. A little off topic however what is someones experience with the Apexi GT Spec Exhaust for the S14 and does anyone have a good pictures of it on an S14 (I have a horrible exhaust leak because the "QUALITY" muffler shop f'ed it up ill post some pictures on the main forum later tonight ).Thanks alot

A: Yes

B: 12offset are not the only ones with the curved in spokes, all of the 10" wheels are like that. but you will want a higher offset if you are trying not to pull the fener. chances are you will have to anyways. email splparts.com they should be able to help as they are a 5zigen distributor

C: Tein flex would be the most livable on the street

D: get the wheels first then see

E: you're probably going to need a higher offset than 12 for 10" rear wheels if you're trying not to pull the fender any

F: search for pictures on google, I ended up with a espelir JGT500 exhaust, it fit great, sounded great and looked just how i wanted (with the jdm bend)apex GT spec will be similar, so will HKS high-power, buddy club spec3, etc...

The word your looking for is Concave. (not curved spoke)

i already found that video. All I wanted was some opinions and maybe someone who has that exhaust with a header or a few sound clips under load and such.
