I did a search, nothing CIA-like

Just want to know if these rims in these sizes would fit on my car. all experts please HELP!!!



Front:5Zigen FN01R-C 17x7 w/ 35mm offset

Rear:5Zigen FN01R-C 17x8 w/ 48mm offset

Keep in mind that I'm on Progress coilovers. Thanks.

I think I'm a little confused on this whole offset thing. Is it the measurement of the lip? Anyways any help would be appreciated.

I would like my rims to look like the ones in the pic. with a nice lip to it like the one pictured above. And does anyone know where I can get a good price on these?

 

35 offset might be a bit much in the front, could lead to rubbing issues if you're dropped low.

the rear would be fine, might be a little tucked for my tastes, also don't think it'll look right with flush fronts and a tucked rear.

Also the wheel in the picture is at an offset and width that 350z's, 240sx, etc would use, the spokes will not sink in like that on the tC.

 

what is the offset of our stock rims? is it 35 or 45? or none of the above lol

 

45offset 17x7

 

Ok so I just have to add something.... how are you going to say that a 35 mm offset is TOO tucked into the wheel well when our stock scions have a 45 mm offset??? that makes no sense... the 35 mm offset would put the wheels OUT of the wheel well exactly 1 cm (or 10 mm) ...

the offset of a rim is how far from the center of the rim you find the bolt holes for the lugs.... it can either be positive or negative ... the larger a number is the more inset a rim will be and vise versa.

 

and to answer the topic question... you need to give us the lug pattern... our tC's call for a 5 x 100 ... in other words there are 5 bolts and they are 100 mm apart. if youre bolt pattern is a 5 x 100 then they will fit on your car.... once they are mounted (if you get it done in a repectable place) they will turn the wheel all the way right and all the way left just to make sure it wont rub... which it shouldnt.

 

thank you for clearing that up. so how would a 35 front and a 48 rear look like would it be nothing but problems for me?

 

You've mis-read my post enrique, i've never said 35 offset would be tucked, I said it may cause rubbing issues. I said how 48 offset might be tucked.

 

yeah i know our car is a 5x100 pattern. thanks so i'm thinking about this very much now just got to find a good price on them

 

Just keep in mind what I said about the picture above. The correct size for the tC will not have spokes that look sunk in like that, instead they would be pretty flat.

 

thank you for clearing this up - i want these spokes to sink in - how can I get this setup? for the front and rear - new plans 17x8 all around

 

Unless you go with a 9" width rim and a low offset of 20 or so, they won't be sunk in.

 

oh man that sucks - too wide for a N/A tC - damn it might have to pass on these then I was thinking 17x8 would be nice - thanks for your help guys

 

too bad they don't have the offsets reversed... staggered is always nice though

 

i thought about it... i think for the sake of our FF cars... you should go with the 7 inch all the way... or 7.5 if they have that

 

I have these wheels in 17 x 7 +35mm with 215/45-17 Falken Azenis RT-615's and the TRD suspension with no rubbing issues within about the week that I have had them on.

 

the rim picture you posted will look nothing like the rims you will get, that rim is concaved in, meaning it has a offset of most likely below 20 or so..

yours will sit flat

 

Welcome to 4 hours ago.

 

 

Wouldn't a +48 Offset be more tucked than a stock +45 Offset? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I have 5Zigens and they are a +35 Offset, and are almost flush all around. The fronts look fine, but the rears are still slightly tucked even with a +35 Offset. My 5Zigens are 18x7.5 and I'm on TRD Springs and I have no rubbing whatsoever.
