I found some cheap CL rims for the FR-S. The add says 17 x 8 Motegi in the correct 5 x 100 bolt pattern. The stock rim is 17x 7 with a +48 offset. If it actually is a 17 x 8, the backspacing measurement should be 133.6mm or about 5 5/16th. First, is my math correct? Second, what can you tell me from this Craigslist pic?
Why would the backspacing have to be anything? (Other than just eyeballing it to have a rough idea)
can you bring your car and test fit the wheel? I did that once.
Edit: ugh just realized what you meant. Please ignore the first part :)
the backspacing should be marked on the inside of the rim. ask the seller to find it and give it to you.
You can punch in in here to see how it effects the placement of the wheel
