NY Wheel Questions

If you get staggered wheels with a lip does that mean that the front lip is smaller than the back lip?? or the wheel is just a different size?? front wheel 8.5" and rear 9.5" I'm looking at these.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...215376198&rd=1 are 19" too big??? the offset is 35mm all around...stock is 45 I never did understand if a wheel fit just by the numbers it used to be just trial and error!!!!1

The stock offset is 40mm and the vert wheels are 6.5" wide, I think 8.5 are too wide up frount. Look through here https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/official-fc-wheel-fitment-thread-257700/ , and ask if your still not sure.

Search for "wheel fitment thread". 8.5s are gonna be too wide for the front of your car, and 9.5s will be pretty intense for the back. Unless you're doing serious fender rolling or going for the drift look, I am all for 17" or 18" wheels (maybe staggered), and a depth of 7-7.5" up front, and anywhere from 7-8.5" in the rear.

This may help you. It's a guide on the size of your wheels and what you might need to accommodate in order to fit it
