Wheels for my FB GSL-SE (opinion please)
 
I thinking about ordering some new wheels for my GSL-SE.... Been reading in the forums and many different threat about size and off set.. Still little confuse on the perfect fit for my GSL-SE on a 15x7 wheels..

I came across this wheels: Drag Wheels DR-44 Gun Metal - BigWheels.Net: custom wheels, chrome wheels, alloy wheels, car wheels, truck wheels, aftermarket wheels, large rims, wheel and tire packages, polished wheels

What do you guys think? I am looking for a old school look on the car but at the same time something that fits good and allow me to put some big tires on the car for my turbo engine..:) At least 215-225 if possible...

Please if you have any suggestion on or opinion on a better options please let me know...

This wheel is 15x7 4/114 with a 40 offset according to the website...

That's the correct size for an SE. I'm thinking about going with these on my SE:

Wheel Details - America's Tire

The guys at Mazdatrix told me it's best to stick to 205/50's or 205/55's to avoid rubbing.

Youll need like a +25 offset, mine are +20 and rub slightly with 205/50's

Here is an SE with that size Drag wheel installed:

https://www.rx7club.com/wheels-tires...heels-1020201/ These are 16 s but the offset etc is the same.

The guy does not mention any issues but with a 40 positive offset they will be a bit closer to the strut, Will it actually touch? Depends on the width and shape of the tire.

I am using these wheels on an SA with SE suspension and coilovers (205/50 x15 tires) and they were too close to the strut for comfort so I use some high quality spacers that are 5 mm thick, giving an offset of 35 positive and they are perfect, no rubbing even with a lowered ride height. I could easily go with 225s on the rear with no issues.

I found this that I like better...

Rota Mesh..
OS Mesh - ROTA Wheels

I know they have 15x7 4/114 with +35 offset...

or maybe do a combo 15/7 in the front with 15/8 in the back?
