Optimal offset?
Hey guys im a new rx7 owner as of the 4th of this month! I am looking for a set of street wheels (has Centerlines on it). I like the mesh look alot as well as the 10 spoke look. What is the optimal offset front/rear to get the most tire under the car. My rear fenders were rolled by the previous owner.

Thanks,
chandler

I say whatever you can make fit. If it clears the lca and the brakes, go as wide and as low/negative as your wallet can handle.
