would i be able to run a 17x8 inch wheel with a +43 offset. i tried to order the matte black 5zigen fno01rc's, and found out they don't make them in the 17x7 with the matte black or the +48 or +42 offset anymore. any ideas/suggestions?

 

Yes.

however everything depends on your suspension, tire size etc etc

You can put anything on anything...depends on how much money you have to "fabricate" the problems.

 

Did you try edge racing? Their site stays updated for the most part and they say they're in stock.

 

yeah. it seems that the tires would be in a 225/45. it's not lowered. i'm looking into the hfp, but for now, i'm at the stock ride height...what do you think type x?

 

edge is who i went with. i ordered. they called me three days later to tell me they (5 zigen) didn't carry them anymore, and had no plans to.

 

so is it best to buy a suspension first before you get rims?

i've been saving up to buy some xd9s 17x8.5 +42, nt555 235x45x17, and buddy club n+. should i hold off on the rims until i get the suspension is on and settled?

That's too bad. I'm sorry man.

 

so, do you think the 17x8 +43 would work with a stock ride height? the guy at edge said that they guaranteed the fit, but i don't want to waste my time, if the tires might rub a bit.

 

yes, with stock ride height will fit. It will still fit even with Eibach sportlines wich is a 1.4 inch drop.

I would say "yes" on the suspesion question. Also, if your planning on upgrading your brakes, make sure you get an off-set that will work with the brakes your planning on installing.

If not, you might find yourself spending a ton of money getting everything to fit.
