i dont even think they would fit inside the fenders... yours have plenty of room, heh... chop of my car looks like an offroad FC!! ahahaha, you used the wrong rims though, he isnt looking for lightweight ones, hes looking for some BLING BLING heavy *** chrome DUBS!! 
in my sig on the real rims, the rears are 18x8.5 and there isnt much room left with some toyo proxes 245/40ZR18 mounted

haha ya i know he prolly wants some chromed out bling ones... but it was just easier for me to alter the ones that were on instead of putting on diff ones, plus it looks more real than trying to put something else on

I wanted to point out why 20s on a FC is not practical instead of beating him up some more.
In the front of a FC is where everyone has problems with custom wheels fitting.
A 245 mm wide tire on a 8 inch wide rim is the widest tire/rim combo that I've ever seen anyone fit on a FC without major modifications. Since the narrowest 20 inch tire (I know of) is a 245/35/20 .... the tire might fit.
However, this means you will have to find a 20x8 rim that has the proper offset to give you a chance of making a 245/35/20 tire fit on the front without major modifications to your car.
Now, if you are lucky enough to find a 20x8 wheel with the proper offset (20x8 is not a very common size), here is some more stuff to think about:
You will likely have a very limited selection of wheels to choose from.
Since a 245/35/20 is not a common tire size, they are expensive.
A 20x8 inch rim will be approximately about 20 lbs per wheel heavier than stock RX-7 wheels. This will add approximately about 80 lbs of weight to your RX-7.
Not only will the weight of the 20s make your car slower, but A 245/35/20 will be a taller tire and that will reduce your rear-end gearing. The reduction in gearing will result in some loss of torque. The RX-7 (especially n/a RX-7s) are not known for having a lot of torque to begin with.
I hope this helps you out some
