what's the off set of the standard wheel for s3 rx7 (1985)?? i have been told +35 and +40

and what off set if buy aftermarket wheels??

 

If you want wheels that sit under the car the same way the stock ones do, buy something with the same offset. Im not sure what the standard (12A) cars offset is. I would like to know myself. Im sure that the +40 was the stock offset for the GSL-SE (13B) cars.

Don't ask me, I have spacers on my wheels.

Looks like it 40-42

 

I have some 17*7's that are +40 offset for a honda. The back side of the rim hit the springs/struts before they will sit flat on the hub.

There was a thread a few weeks back where somebody was using spacers/wheel adapters to use honda rims on his rx. The spacers where 1.25" thick and he was using 17*7 with I think +35 rims.

All I can help with is that I order 4" backspacing on my race wheels.
