Rim + Paint Q

Thinking of getting 17inch rims, the offset is +43 will it fit my 1990 rx7?

Now i also have a side mirror bought of ebay. its white, unprimed etc. should i prime it before i use duplicolor spray paint?

TIA

depends on Tire size and rim width.... Check the "official FC Wheel Fitment" thread in the suspension section.

or just tell me what witdh the rims are..

For Reference, stock TII wheels are 16X7 +40MM with 205 tires.. you only have about 10 mm or so to the spring perch....

I don't think +43 will fit, what rims are they? [Brand / Model]

my friend has 17*7inch wide with 225's on a +42mm offset and it comes really close...depending on the width and design of the wheel it may or may not fit.

oh, and properly clean and prime anything you paint for a more durable and longer lasting paint coat. maybe even clear it depending on the paint.
