fr500 rims

[richondo]

will 17x9 fr500 rims fit if i get a hold of 5x100 to 5x114.3 adapters?

 

i know it'll stick out a little or even a lot, but i'll probably run 235/40

 

and well those are, hands down, my all time favorite rims

Are you talking about these?

(I see a theme here...)

 

The offset on 17x9 from THIS SITE is +24mm...and the info from THIS THREAD states:

-Here we go, here are your choices for rim widths (regardless of it being 17", 18", 19" or 20" rims):

 

{offset in BOLD are the closest possible offset to OEM's scrub radius, you'll notice that once you go past 8" wide rims, you will run out of room on the inboard side to put/stuff any more of the wheel/tire to maintain the OEM scrub radius.. 8" and up will increase positive scrub radius}

 

6.5" (+34mm to +60mm offset, +55) *for 2.5i only

7.0" (+37mm to +57mm offset, +55)

7.5" (+40mm to +54mm offset, +55)

8.0" (+43mm to +51mm offset, +53)

8.5" (+45mm to +48mm offset, +45) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255

9.0" (+43mm to +45mm offset, +43) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255

9.5" (+38mm to +40mm offset, +38) *will need to roll the fenders if tires are wider than 255

 

Of course, THIS THREAD may help...or THIS ONE...or THIS ONE.

That would be funny. A +24 offset on the rims, and the minimum thickness of a bolt-pattern-adapter-spacer is 30mm.

 

To say the wheels would stick out a little bit, would be an understatement.

I wanted those rims when I had my Cobra. I miss that car
