Hello everyone, im still undecided which wheels to choose from, anyone have experience using these wheels? im leaning towards 5zigen wheels, Also what would be the best tires size with no fender rubbing, any suggestions, thank you!


5zigen N01R-C Hot Version bronze, 17x7, (35mm offset i think)

Well, the last wheels are the only ones that will fit, so i guess i vote for them.
 
I'm pretty sure you can get them all to fit our cars. I vote the 5zigen N01R-C. I have always loved those wheels on a 2g.
 
they all come 5x114.3, i wasnt sure about 5zigen offset though, i gotta double check on the website, if anyone know let me know, btw does anyone know whatll be the best tires size to use?, i want to run 225, but not sure if itll fit, 5zigen are the most expensive out of 3, $200 a rim,
 
Again, stop posting misinformation people, if you dont KNOW itll fit, dont say it WONT fit. A lack of information does not mean it doesnt work.

As for all of those, they'll work, but why are you limiting yourself to such teeny weeny wheels. Look up "wide wheels" or 17x9 and youll see plenty of setups, including my own that have been on the vehicle, I have personally run the 5zigens and I loved them. Grids are gorgeous too but a bit heavy, same with the p45R.
A nice setup for you wanting to remain lightweight but throwing wide wheels is maybe a 17x8 or 17x8.5 5zigen in like a 35 offset.
 
FN01RC 17x8 35 or 40 mm offset, I can't remember. No spacers. 225-45 tires.


thank you Detail, just checking, is there any problems , rubbing at all?, i think im going with the FN01RC, 42mm offset and 225 tires,
 
I have the 5zigen FN01R-C in 17x9 +35 offset and I love them. I needed a 5mm spacer for the back.

You can swap with a 97+ and you wont need the spacer in the back. The 97+ have a slightly revised suspension. I run 17x9 +35 and absolutely no rubbing.
 
i run the Motegi Trak-Lite Wheels on falkin rubber nice and light and grips awsome
 
I have the P-45f's on my car and I think they look amazing. I'm in for those.
 
are the P45f that heavy?, and what tire size you running? pictures please :D
 
Are 9 inch the widest that will fit with stock suspension and without spacers? I thought I had read about a couple people running 9.5 or 10 inch.
 
I'd say they're on the lighter side for the size that they are. The wheels are 18x8.5 and I'm running 245-40's for tires. I know, the sidewall is on the thicker side, but I couldn't pass the deal up.

I will post pics later today.
 
actually, I found one on my computer. the car is a little dirty, but you get the idea. I'll post more pictures later if anyone is interested.
