Pictures of your7 with flush rim offset

I am wanting to see pics of people with rims on their rx7's so i can see pictures to decide what kind of off set/wheel set up i want to go with.
I am going to be lowering my seven and i want to see what it will look like with a certain off set. So if you have pics of your 7 with rims on it please post, and tell me your offset you used and if there was spacers added thanks guys,.

So it seems that the + 35 is the best way to go for a flush look w/out getting spacers eh?

Here's a couple of mine:

Work Rezax 17x8 +35, with 225 tire, front and 17x9 +35, with 255 tire, rear. This is on completely stock and original suspension.




These pics were taken right after lowering the lift... so ignore the fact it looks like the RX has a lift kit... once the suspension settled it looked normal.



Here's a picture down on the wheel well and tire... the tire comes right up to the edge if the wheel well on both front and back.

Rear


Front


Here's a pic from the back...one side is the 17x9 and the other is the stock rim and tire... so its 255 vs 205...

I know i'm a cheap bastard. My friend has a RB26 240 running sport max wheels though and he likes them enough.
