Tire size for the front

I'm a huge fan of Falken fk453 right now. It's not a high mileage tire, but Great compromise between treadwear and grip. Really depends what you're looking for.
 
So I recently purchased rims but because my FX35 Is RWD the rear Hub extends further out I can't put the wheel hub caps. I really don't want to put spacers , what can I do ?
 
What wheels did you get? Some aftermarket wheels have very little backpad, and so the center caps won't fit. Easiest solution is spacers and some companies offer extended center caps.
 
I got Rohana rc7s 20x10 all around. Thanks I'll look into it. I don't think previous owner changed them

This might be stupid question but would it be bad if the center Hub was just cut down like 4 line threads

Rohana said they don't offer extended caps. Rims look nice but really bummed out about the situation
 
Can't see your picture. You mean to cut the axle or half shaft down by 4 threads. If so, should not be a problem.
 
Yea that's what I mean. Cause I have my mechanic who is willing to do it. He's just going to cut it back 4 threads
 
Those are concave wheels so that's why. To get concavity, they drop the center lower so the spokes can come in. If you get high offset so it doesn't rub, there is very little backpad so the wheel center is very close to the axle.

You can have the mechanic shave the threads since they're on the end and not used, just make sure he cleans it up. Or you could run a small spacer. 4 threads is ~5mm.

If I didn't run big spacers, my center caps wouldn't clear on the rear of my car either.
