it looks very nice... I am looking to get 7" wide front rims and 9" wide rear rims..

+40 offset in the front and +35 offset in the rear... does that sound like they will fit right?

Rishie is the owner of Auto RnD. I bought my wheels from him and was treated very well. He also gives fat discounts to rx7club members.

Thanks for all your input. I do think that it will eventually get some coilovers, but I am about to build a streetport motor so my money is going to be spent on that now.

Yes, I drove it for a day before I took the pictures.
did u have to roll the rear fender for the 255? cuz i was thinkin bout gettin the same thing but wit 245 in the rear

I doubt it because the tires is about 4"lower then the fender now the test will be once he lowers the car.. even then I bet he will be fine

If anyone feels compelled to give me their coilovers to make my car look better feel more than welcome to let me know.

It will be even better once I get the new motor built and installed. Thanks for all of the compliments.
