i was lookin at rims and was wondering, if i use a low enough profile tire, will a 17 inch rim fit on a 1st gen rx-7?

 

yes

 

here ya go

 

about what size tire should i use hight wise and about how wide of a rim and tire can i fit? any body know?

 

rubber bands... about 100

 

come on guys, for real!

 

7 inch wide rims will fit

anything with a 2.9" sidewall will be close to stock tire size,

so like a 205/35 will work..
a rubber band would be a little smaller... but not much

 

f+r for normal use I use 205/40-17 but for traction I put on my 225/45-17's

 

sweet! thanks for the help guys!

 

**** what rims are those and did you have to do any bolt pattern changing to get those on?

 

anyone try 18s?


If they wont fit have you tried ir heard of people cutting out their wheel wells? anyone have a pic of this?

 

yea, some one put 19s on also

 

Yeah i also want to know if you can put 18's on a 1st gen. I was told by one of the fitters at ozzy tyres here in AUS that i could put these 18" rims with 22mm adapters. Does anyone know if ders any truth to this?????

 

^^^You can fit 18"s but won't be able to lower your car at all really. my mate has FR18"s for his S3 but he has coilovers on the front. They fitted on another mates S3 but only just clearance between spring and tyre was about 1mm!!

 

bloted right up to the gls-se suspension.

 

first off those wheels are fugly...ahhh as per 18's I believe that 18's will fit on the rear...I know there was a member not long ago put a set of 18's on the back and 17's on the front...I know for pretty much a fact that 18's will not fit on the front there just isn't the room with the suspension set up you would get some serious rubbage...!!
