Not too many options there....

19x8 +45 offset front, 19x10 +44 offset rear, that's about it. Those wheels look pretty pricey for cast....you can get forged Volks, CCWs, or SSRs for that price.

Wouldn't they rub at the rear ????
Isn't possible to put the 19x8,5 +38 offset in the front.
I haven't rolled my fenders and i don't want too, so would it be a good choice ?

Well, IMO, 19s aren't a good choice in the first place....to maintain reasonable tire diameters, the tire sidewalls have to be so damn skinny.

You could run 19x8.5 +38 with 235/35 19 tires, it will likely catch the fender lip if you are careless entering driveways and such. If your car is lowered, you WILL definitely be catching fender lips unless you are extremely careful.

19x10 +44 with 265/30 19 tires shouldn't rub.

It is not really populair, but many standard cars have option for bigger rims like 18 and 19 from the factory.
The most of the RX-7 drivers over here have standard wheels or 17 inch.
I like the 18 and 19 inches the most but still dont know what to buy.

I got 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear with 275/30/19's

Rolling the fenders is no big deal. Just jack up the car
and get some plywood and a hammer, and hammer the inner lip
of the fender flat.

IMO: those rims look very Hondaish.
Sorry I seen so many/lots of hondas with the same type of wheel.

Is that your white FD in the avatar?? If so.. why would you want
black rims?? Go with either brush aluminium/chrome or
White rims. (which i would do next)

You talk about Hondaish but i think rolling your fenders is Hondaish !
Here in Holland the roll there fenders to, on CHEAP cars.........
And the white car is owned by Youichi Imamura, i have a "candy" red rx7.

So i will go for the max of 18" but what is the max ?
I have Tein Flex coilovers and will NOT roll my fenders.

if you want the max size wheels without rolling you should look at

Front: 18x9 with an offset between +43 and +50
Rear: 18x10 with an offset between +45 and +50

I know you could PROBABLY squeeze 18x10 up front, but then the car would just plow everywhere. I think a staggered setup is ideal.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong

You're wrong.. Wider wheels/tires up front would reduce understeer and increase turn-in. It's all these guys running 225s up front with 285s in back that plow like a John Deere.

IMO, 18x9 should be +45 to +50 range.

Tire choices could be 245/35 or 255/35 front, 285/30 or 275/35 rear.

FD3S-TT was it you at the AVB Sports Asian Nationals yesterday (Sunday) leaving at about 20 past 2 PM?
I had just arrived when a Red 7 past me.
Sorry for the off topic...

On topic. 10X18 all round should be streetable then, right? I might go for that or put 9" all round. Though about 19's as well but considering tire prices and my tendance to hit the right pedal regularly and some cornering I figger I'm betterof with 18"
