5Zigen 17X8 FN01R-C fitment?
Yes, I've searched and the general consensus is that there is no offset in the 17X8 wheel that fits. Even 5Zigen's website states no Evo fitment in 17X8: http://www.5zigenusa.com/w_fn01rc.html
So, Discount Tire managed to scratch 3 of my stock wheels and they have offered to replace them with the 5Zigen FN01R-C in 17X8. Discount Tire assured me that they will clear the Brembos without spacers, but all other evidence points to the exact opposite. None of the search results brought back recent threads so is it possible that 5Zigen now make a 17X8 wheel in the correct offset and have yet to update their site? Or - and this is the likely solution - is Discount Tire wrong?

i just ordered the same rim in a 17X9, and i was told it will fit. he said that i am definately not the first guy to order them with an evo, and i am guaranteed a full refund if they do rub. they should be here next week (actually were supposed to be here this week, but alas a shipping problem) so i will keep you posted.

. As for purchasing the wheels: Discount Tire are footing the bill and will be going through their own distributor. Thanks for the offer though; I've always had good dealings with Z1

. It was a toss up between those and the matt black as I have this whole white/black theme going on right now. I'll post some pics when they arrive, which will hopefully be early next week.

Have you had any problems with this size rubbing against the brembos under heavy cornering. Do they fit without spacers or rings? You say they stick out further than stock because of the offset, how do you mean. I'm thinking of buying this size.
