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...

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.

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?
