18X9's?
hi guys, i have an 89 TII, all stock. i saw these in the wheels section
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=424481
i ran the wheel size converter in the FAQ thread and got this
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 17mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 33mm
is there any chance in hell that'll fit, and if there is, will it look rediculously st00pid?
thx!

Look, the wheels are on an FD.
FC versus FD have significantly different wheel specs.
There is no way in hell they will fit up front, even with lower profile coilovers.
For a 9.5" wide rim to fit up front, you need like a +15 minimum offset.
With low-profile coilovers, you still need a +20 maybe down to +25 offset.
You're still off by 1/2" with the given offset, so NO IT WILL NOT FIT.
