Do you think a 17x9 with a 38 offset will fit better than a 17x9 with a 31offset , i think thats what Advan RC2 are . it would be more of a stock offset but a bigger wheel

The "C" in FN01RC stands for cast. If you want the forged wheels, ask for the FN01R. They do cost about twice as much as the cast wheels.

I'm wondering too. I don't think i'm messing with my suspension. But, with the Evo what tire sizes and types are good for just a couple track days but mostly street daily driving? what would ya'll go with?
I wanted to get the srt4's bfgoodrich tdw2's can't find out what sizes they have. Thanks.

Do you think someone could make a list and just post it? I'll be here forever trying to find what I'm looking for. This isn't very user friendly.
It should go something like:
17 X 8.5 you need ___offset ____ is the widest tire to fit without fender rolling ____ is with fender rolling
17 X 9 you need ___offest _____ is the widest tire w/o rolling _____ w rolling
17 X 10 You need ____ offset....
I would do it but, I have no idea what fits. That's why I'm here.

Thanks.
That's helpful for figuring the actual size increase but, still doesn't tell you if it is going to rub at lock, under compression, cornering load, and torque steer like a **** or not.
I was looking more for someone to just post a thread where the first post is a list of the width and prorper offset (so it doesn't look like an R/C car) with tire widths and spacers that may be required to still be able to rotate them. That way you don't have to sift through page upon page of combination trying to find what will work and what won't.
