Thinking about 16x7 4x114.3 +20 offset for the back and 16x7 4x114.3 +25 offset for the front... any thoughts?

 

 

DirectFreak that is exactly what my car is going to look like!. holy cow.. it's at the body shop right now and I also had them take off the side bumpers. They're also going to paint the front and back bumpers silver. and i told them to take off the side rx7 and front mazda emblem off and cover the holes too. the only thing is that they're also taking off the 4 side blinker lights and making it smooth. But i like the way the tires look. those are 16's? I think i'm going with the same size tire as the front in the back though. looks good bro..

 

what brand wheel is that?

Those are good looking wheels.

 

You will have some tire hanging out at front with +20 fronts and a bit less at the rear.

I had some +27 14x6" rims on my S3 (same as GSL-SE) with 195/65's and it they were barely inside the guards

 

15's.

 

What offset?

 

so maybe +25's all the way around? I want the tires to be about .33 t0 .5 inches outside the fenders... i like this look but with the rims I selected:

 

outside the fenders? hopefully you have a stiff suspension

 

I don't know. Car belongs to 85turbo12A You should ask him.
They do look good though.

 

I might not be correct when I said .3 or .5 basically this is the look I want to achieve...excuse the bad art skills..

 

I've got Konig Rewinds 15X7 +0mm with Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec 205/50R15.
Looks like this:

 

Whoops didn't work. Here:

 

does anyone have a picture of an FB with 16x7 +25mm offset rims?

im thinking ultimately thats gonna be the right fit.. 0mm offset looks like too much out. the factory rims are 40mm offset right?

 

Yeah factory is +40.
I agree +0 is a bit too much now but I'm going to install fender flares. But since they cost money, I'm having to do things 1 at a time.
Here's the calculator that I used when I got my wheels and tires: http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

 

just did this wheel on my gsl-se 15x7 +12 and 205/50/15 d1 star specs looks sweet no rubs and its on racingbeat lowering springs goes right to the fender perfect fit

 

+12mm huh? sweet...that might be it then. But i'm going with 16's (should be the same though). can I see the picture of the end result?

Thanks,

 

I've got those wheels ...15 x 8 rear with 0 offset on 295-50-15 tires, and 15 x 7 up front (forget the offset) with 205-50-15 tires.

Looks great!

 

I am pretty sure my fronts are 16x7 +25, but I also have a 5 lug conversion. I am not sure how much of a difference that makes though.

My rears are 16x8 +25 I believe, and I know they are in the same location as a GSLSE.

 

Those look like the EMPI 8 spoke rims I had on my vw bug.Get them.

 

can you please confirm the fonts offset. i think they look great. but i will also go with 16x7 in the rears.

thanks

 

Hey guys i was wanting to buy the same rims (rota RB 16x8 with 4mm offset for front and back) I do not have the 5 lug conversion but i do have coilovers with camber adjusters. Was just wondering if those would fit with stock fenders or if i should just get 16x7 instead? Thanks in advance.

 

ok sorry but i have to ask around since i cant find a straight answer. Im thinking of getting 17x8 wheels for my car. Its a GSL-SE with stock fender. But i have coilovers and camber adjusters. All i need to know is what offset can i get away with without having to roll my fenders? Thanks in advance guys.
