Default Rims and Suspension

I have the FNF Type II suspension i'm putting on my car. My questions is, whats a good offset for my rims if Im lowering the car just enough, right above the tires, without changing the way my car rides too much? Any advice is appreciated, thanks

Depends on the width of wheel you want to get.

30/35/40/45 will all work depending on which wheel and the width you want.

If you go with RPF1s 17x9 cause they concave a little you can get a 45 offset no problem.

I'll probably be getting the 17X8 for the RPF1s, thats what the gold ones will come in. Thanks your feedback!

Offset +35 mm would be ideal here.

More concavity will result with a lower offset of +35 mm

I am not sure. An FA5 has larger rotors than the FA1. The 15s might not fit over the Si calipers.
