Will these clear stock struts on the front with the 4 lug 17x7 +35 or maybe the 17x8 +35 with a spacer?

Well, if you are planning on going 5-lug, just get the 5 lug 5N01R-C's in 17x8 +25 (f) and 17x9 +35 (r). Do it right the first time.

Even if i went with the 5 lug and those offsets....would the fronts clear the stock struts? Thats what I'm trying to figure out. Cuz I don't plan on getting coilovers anytime soon.

How much for the Vlsd VA240?

If I were forced to guess on this one, I'd say yes. Unfortunately, I never made any measurements w/ the stock struts so I can't say for sure.

yes 17x8 +35 front will clear stock strut/aftermarket strut but not coilovers w/ the exception of apex'i (from what I hear/read)

Can anyone else verify this??? So with the fno1r-c's, I can just get 17x8's with +35 all around and they'll work? How flush will they be with the stock fenders? Thanks again.

Not flush at all. You'll need spacers. 17x8 +25 front would be flush and 17x9 +35 rear would be flush.

Wait till you go 5-lug and do it right the first time. You'll be happier in the long run. :)

I would love to wait until I got a 5 lug conversion but money isn't permitting that anytime soon since i'd have to get the hubs and brakes at the same time...The whole reason I wanted some aftermarket wheels was because of the tire sizes. I'm getting my new turbo setup soon and i'll be pushin close to 350-390 to the wheels on pump and close to 450 on race. I can't find any tires sticky enough for stock se wheels that i believe would give me good traction with my setup...which is why i opted for the 4 lug 5zigens. 4 lug 17's-766 shipped+ tires. 5 lug hubs-900+brakes-600+ 5 zigens-800+tires. I'm looking at like over a $1500 diff. I'm just looking for good traction rite now, can't afford to save up that much more money. If you have any cheaper ideas please lemme know, thanx.

you can go 17x7 frot 17x8 rear to allow for wider tires in the rear since youj'll be putting down that muc power, otherwise 17x8 all around is cool too but won't clear coilvoers in front, 17x7 is too ksinny IMO for that much power. I don't think there's any other sizes for 4 lugs for the fn01rcs but I may be wrong. None of those would be coompletely flush w/ the fender, but they alll ook a hell of alot better than stock.

edit: check tirerack our sponsor for some good prices, I know I make Grant and the tirerack folks proud lol
