You would need to tell us the offset of the wheels, but don't tell us here, ask the question on this thread and read through it https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/official-fc-wheel-fitment-thread-257700/

ok so i read about 10 pages on the front and back side of this thread and looked at some of the links. and still am not totally sure what i need for my car??

so here goes. car is on tokico shocks and eibach springs about a 1.25 front 1.5 rear drop. i still want to be able to rotate the tires but i want to go as wide as i can go. so am i right in saying 225 45r17 will be the widest that i can go? on a
17x7 rim? not sure of the offset that will be needed. i would also like it to be as flush as possible wit hthe fender (dont mind rolling them if i have to). going to be ordering wheels in the next 3-4 weeks so any input that you guys would have for me would be great!

Very handy site. Doesn't tell you how flush your wheels will be but if you input your current wheels specs and your new wheels specs, it will tell you the difference in inner clearance and outer position.
