What's the difference between the 5Zigen FN01R-C and the 5Zigen FN01R-C Hot Version?

Well, any good thread has pictures...



Don't ask why that says titanium...

And these two are 17*10 +25, the size I'd get for the rear. Pretty sure it would be 17*9 +15 for the front.

Front:It's +15 not +17.

So, FN01R-C vs. FN01R-C Hot Version. The difference? Finishes? Sizes? Weights? Production methods/locations? What?!

you should have posted this in the wheel and suspension section you'd get more help there, you can see if a mod can move it for you or you could break the rules and re-post it

Yea, yea, you're probably right.

Mod, please move?

why don't they offer the fno1rc's in a 18x10 man it makes me soo f***in angry

I've wondered.

[ztommyx]

my guess is that you are holding the HOT version?

if i'm right, they may be more concaved than the regular ones.

the top pic (of the two) 17x10 +25 seems to have more concaved than the 17x9 which should be as concaved (or maybe more) then the above since it's +15, making it more aggressive.

again, that's my guess. good luck.

I don't know; I found that online. It was from some Evo forum. And I thought that too about the front, so maybe they were wrong and that's the 17*9 +35, which from what I've been told and I have rear would have clearance issues.

[ztommyx]

^^ 17x9 +35 should not be any problem fitting the rear.

[JDMZ32]

That would be for the front though. 17*10 +25 for rear. I saw a Z32 with the +12 and it looked pretty bad lol. Stuck way out. +25 should be good but I may need my fenders rolled or pulled right? Hopefully someone local can do that.

[ztommyx]

depends on the wheel, but most likely you don't need to.i have mine at +20 offset respectively in the front

Hope I don't. I'm also wanting to lower it but just on springs, and I don't want narrow or stretched tires, so that's why I was really worried about it. Also worried about the backs because I know some people do 9.5 +35 and it fits.

[ztommyx]

if you can fit the fronts, likely the back will fit.most people have problem fitting aggressive offset wheels in the front.

[phanatikz32]

do you have a pic of this, i was thinking about getting +12 are you sure he didnt have a spacer or something? because it seems to me that from a +35 to a +12 is 23mm difference so that just means the mounting surface of the wheel is 23mm further in thus pushing the wheel 23mm toward the fender so my +35 sportmax are not exactly flush they are maybe .2 inches inside the fender and 23mm is .9 inches so that gives me about .7 inches outside the fender. with stretched tire and propper camber it seems to me that it would be hella flush in the rear....

I'll try to find them... His tires weren't stretched and it's definitely not worth stretching to get hella flush lol. Stretching tires just seems so stupid. I want FAT MEATS!!!

Here they are:

His tires aren't too skinny. 255/40ZR17 and 275/40ZR17, but like I said, I'd like a 285 in the back; 295 if it isn't a problem.

[FusionR300zx]

the only version of the wheels that have the concave look are the 17x10 and 18x9.5doesn't matter what offset.they're concaved.

the hot versions are forged i think and a lot more money.

i think im gona run 17x10's all around.+12 rear and 25 front.

maybe 25's all around and just add spacers.

[Weber3211]

that would look sick with some stretched tires.

[Z32TT]

a guy on 3zc did these username KevinZtwin

anyways heres copy paste of more detail info

Track set up is 5Zigen FN01RC wheels17x10 +35 All around (5mm spacer in front for inner tire clearance)Nitto NT05 Tires (275/40/17 all around)This setup rubs on all four corners as of now with my ride height, I will be rolling the fenders tomorrow and possibly pulling the rears slightly. Right now it is -2.3* camber in the front, and -.75* camber in the back. I might bring in some more camber in the back to -1.5*

his car

[JDMZ32]

Thanks for the feedback man! I didn't think you could use a 10 in the front without stretched tires. Now I've changed my thinking - 10s all around? I'd love the convenience of being able to rotate lol. Would +25 work all around? Definitely roll or pull on the front maybe?

[ztommyx]

^^ should work.

but 275/40 may be a tad tall in the rear... maybe a 35 series would fit better. for front, use slightly smaller tires 245 or 255 max (see mustang next to Z) and you'll be fine

Okay. I was hoping to be able to rotate if I did 10s all around. What about the Stang? Thread was moved; hopefully I get some more feedback.

[Z32TT]

well i might do 265/40 all around with +35 if you need to go down get spacers, but im still debating on this might go +25 instead all around wit a 265 should be fine but still require a roll at the height i wanna go

[Z32TT]

plus yea rotating them be nice i think 265 all around is fine theirs quite abit of guys who roll like kevin twinz does wit 275 all around but i want just lil smaller for lil better fitment without as much rolling

[phanatikz32]

it's definitely not worth stretching to get hella flush lol. Stretching tires just seems so stupid. I want FAT MEATS!!!

Here they are:

oh man this is what you consider WAY passed the fender? i was thinkin it was gonna be all mexi-flush bozo this is nothing, drop down to a 235/40 and subtract a bit more camber and they'd fit fine. i'd rock them if they came in 18x10

This is a better angle of how much they stick out:

Just way too much for me. Car overall looks great, but it would be a lot better if it wasn't a +12 IMO.

Tell 'em, bro! Seems like most Z drivers be scared of aggressive fitment. It would be a shame if 240's could fit more wheel and tire than a Z32, which shouldn't be the case.

Man up, guys! I wanna see a Z with 17x10's in the front and 18x11's in the back! If we can do it, I'm sure you guys can do it better!

I don't like the idea of 255s on an 11" wheel and I don't like the idea of only half the tire touching the ground. I want the widest wheels I can (at least in the rear) without a widebody or looking stupid (sticking way out) WITH A BIG tire, not stretched. I just don't understand why people stretch tires...

[simmode1]

Oh, that wasn't what I was co-signing from his statement... I was just echoing that most Z's that I see seem to have bland fitment as many owners are afraid to experiment with sizes & offsets or afraid to get low.

I wouldn't stretch a 255 tire on a 11 inch wheel, either. A subtle stretch can look very good and have positive handling characteristics. An extreme stretch has it's uses, too, but thats not my cup of tea.

But for the guys that are annoyed by FN01RC not being offered in 18x10, why not try Enkei RP03's? They are a similar style, they aren't as whored out, they're about the same weight and they come in 18x10+22 AND 18x10+15.

What's not to like?http://www.streetdreams.org/wh...18/10

[simmode1]

Wouldn't like be a good look?

17x10+25 with 265/45/17 FN01RC's18x10+22 with 275/40/18 RP03's

Yes? No?

Edit: Wait. Can you guys fit that up front?

[JDMZ32]

Those Enkeis are alright, but I'm just not a fan enough to buy them. I love the RPF1s though. I'd really like a set of Gram Light 57 Pros, so ztommyx, if you want to sell for the price of FN's or less let me know . I doubt it though.

Based on info earlier in this thread apparently we can fit it up front. Arcticdragon fits everything up front, but he also rolls/pulls/stretches I think. And he's totally slammed. I like the size combo you posted, but I wouldn't want to mix wheels.
