PCD = 5*114.3
Centre Bore = 67.1mm
Offset = 35-45mm

watch the centre bore size in particular, I think some Hondas have the same PCD, but the bore on the Mitsis is different, you may need spigot rings to get the bore size right.

Most aftermarket wheels will have a big centre bore and will need rings anyway.

Also try and go a little aggressive with the offset - keep it as close to 32 - 35 as you can. Any less (35-45) and the rims will look to be too far inside the arches. Also don't go larger than 17inches - my ideal would be a 17inch rim (8 - 8.5 in width) with a 215/45 or 225/40 tyre.

Make sure and ask the seller for PCD and offset before you commit to a purchase.

Eh - No!
Tyre profile, pcd and bore are likely to be way out - the seller doesn't seem to know enough to even list these figures which would be essential to know for any prospective buyer.

If you've got standard FTO 16 inch alloys on - then leave them on rather than go with those - if you don't have the standard FTO 16's then theres bound to be plenty for sale around e.g. - viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11472 (though shipping might be a prob).

I was under the impression that the FTO came with 15 inch steel wheels from factory on the likes of the GS, GP, and GR without Sports Package, The likes of the GPX, GR SP, GPVR etc have 16s from factory, and the 15 inch alloy was an upgrade for those with 15 inch steel wheels.

Either way, 15's are too small.

Correct - although I thought that the GP came with alloys as standard. Most purchasers opted for alloys on purchase but you still see the odd set of steel rims knocking about with those hideous hub caps...
