Wheel Question
Good day!
I have purchased a set of Watanabe RS8 wheels in 16 x 7 (+25) and 16 x 8 (+27)
My question is:
Should these fit wheel onto my 1986 RX-7 Coupe with Racing Beat Springs?
Thinking of running 205/50/16 in the front, 225/50/16 in the rear.
Would be cool to run the same size all the way around? Just want to make sure I get the right tire size on the opening try where it wouldn't bump, hit fender, or anything?

Using the above guide, I should just fine. Just would love verification.

Stock TII had a 16x7+40 offset with a 205/55r16 tire. Can't see why it wouldn't work on a shorter 205/50 tire with a +25 offset since stock is pretty sunken to begin with. I would highly doubt you would need to roll the front fender lip.I had front 17x7.5+27 rims at one time with a 245/40r17 that only rubbed on hard turns on the stock suspension.
