alright, fellas.
tomorrow i'm going to be ordering some 17x10 fn01's, front and back.
what should i be prepared for? i'm planning on using a 275/40/17 tire.
what lug nuts do you guys use and where can you get them? i'd like to have some black ones.
i'm assuming i'm going to need a good roll in the back.

alright, i'll stick with that.
i like how tanaka's wheels look, and i believe that's what he has.
for you guys with 17's.... how much did you have to lower to get it to look right?

is it going to make much of a difference between how much i have to roll between the 25 and 35?
i apologize for turning this into the will this fit thread... but, you know, $1000 is a lot of money to spend and i want to make sure i do this right.

also, where did you guys get yours, and how long did you wait for them?
i'm going to order them from fluid, but he's getting them from 5zigen from what i can tell. i'm just kind of nervous about having to wait months for them.

i got them from a local place here. they matched what i could find online so it made sense for me - plus fluid wasn't a vendor back then or i'd have considered going that route. i think i had to wait about 6 weeks for mine to come in.

Tanaka has 17x10 +35 in the rear with a 255/40 but you want 275/40 with a +25? Also, his fronts are 17x9 not 17x10. I wish you luck if you really buy those. The tires you want have .5" less wheel gap. That might create a problem with rubbing.

ok, after reading through this thread more, maybe i should stick with this:
front:
17x9 35 offset with 255/40 tire
rear:
17x10 35 offset with 275/40 tire and a fender roll
huh? huh?

You can run 17x10 +35 all around, it would look a LOT better. 275 is too much tire
or run a more aggressive setup like deedubs run 17x10+25 and run 255/40 instead of his /45 all around.
You'll clear easily with a roll/pull, and - camber

is 255 too much of a stretch considering how i drive the car?
the dragon is in my backyard. it's visited weekly. i can deal with the inconveniences of it (the car is driven once a week at most) but i just don't want it to affect the performance.

i like the concave look of the wheels but it looks like from all the pictures i've seen I need to have a minimum 9.5" wheel width do even have a slightly noticeable concave look, is this true?
if i run a more aggressive offset with a 9.5" rim will that increase the concave-ness of the wheel?
or are wheel concave-ness based on rim width?
