I'd recommend wheel sizes that are flexible should you choose to go with larger width tires in the future. Thus, 17x9 up front and 17x9/9.5/10 rear will work with what's in your garage.

The difficult part is recommending decent wheels for $250 each. You might be able to find the 5-Zigen FN01R-Cs for close to that in 17x9 variety (all 4, 43 mm offset).

Would look cool on your car in "black polish": http://www.5zigenusa.com/w_fn01rc.html

You really shouldn't run a 255/45 17 tire on an RX-7, it is 1-inch too tall. It's pretty silly IMO to buy a set of wheels for $1000+ just to match some tires you happen to have sitting in your garage.

Good catch. I misread as 255-40-17.
