Wheel fitment on FC 17x9 +30 offset

So basically i created an account on here for this reason because i have only found one person online with this size wheel and he only talked about the rear and i believe they fit? car will be lowered on coilovers (haven’t purchased yet still trying to decide what ones to get any suggestions?) Anyway i want a specific wheel and they only come in 17x8 -45 and 17x9 +30 or +45 offset confuses me big time would the 17x8 -45 fit better on the front? i’m sorry if i sound like a noob this is my first RX7 and i’m in love with it i’m only 18 so cut me some slack someone please help! Also what size tire would fit well? honestly prefer a slight stretch with some negative camber i know that helps the odds of fitting..

Hi,

Use this as your basic reference - FC3S Pro v2.0: Mods - Rims

The +30s might fit, it’s the fronts that will be the issue the rears should be fine! You’ll likely have to run aftermarket suspension to fit 9” on the front. I’m not talking from experience only what I’ve read/researched.

There’s also a ton of other helpful information on fc3spro for new owners, it’s not quite the bible but it’s definitely a good place for a rotary disciple to start! Welcome to club.

Ben
