now my only question is, did you pick tires that would match diameter to the stock setup so your spedo wouldnt be wrong or for other reasons, i had always wondered what people did when it came to this and i figured since your running a setup that im considering you would be the best to ask

Correct sir. I have 18x10 +38 front and 18x10.5 +15 in the rear. 285/35 front and 305/35 rear.

Here are some pics I took the other day before I started reassembling the car after paint and body work. That's a long story in itself.

Oh and the other FD belongs to my roommate, rotorbizle on this forum. We did his engine swap this weekend (Et3rNaL's previous engine haha).

heres some pics i took today.
I am not sure what your wheel offset is in the rear, looks like a 17x10 +18 with a drop, roll and some camber they should tuck nicely!! The fronts are pretty much perfect, but again drop that ****!! On the tire sizes I would recommend a 235/40 and a 265/35 as the max. I have a picture of the fitment in the front.

Here are some pics of my setup, 17x10 +22 235/40 and 18x10+38 265/35 (waiting for my friend to drop off the 15mm spacers, I may need more or may need less). Tires are Falken 452's. PLEASE don;t mind the dust and the tape, I just spent the day sanding for fitmenr of the KS auto kit...It has been washed since then.






zerorx7 hope you can see the fender, tire, and wheel in this pic, but this is at my ride height


I do not have current pics, but I had to raise 3/8" to get some need ground clearance. With the KS Auto kit I now have across the bumper 3" left, 2.5" center and 3" right, which it was much lower as seen in the pics. I based my height requirements off my IS300, as it scrapes at a number of places I go in and out of, and the lip height is 3.5" , and the overhang is less than an RX7.

I did not measure the stock bumper w/r1 lip clearance, but I would guess it was at least 3-3.5" across.

I will post up some new pics once I take them, and I will put the stock bumper w/r1 lip on and take some measurements.

Given my current front wheel fitment, maybe looking for something large in diameter for cleance and a nice tuck; my wheels with tires (brand new) are silently up forsale!

I hope this helps!!

And my Lexus:

yea right now the rear is 17x10 +18 offest 275/40.

i was actually considering doing this 235/40 and a 265/35 just like you said.

i have yet to drop in my motor, and get coilovers.

but i do plan on getting my fenders rolled by next week.

right now currently i jsut plan on putting back my 93 oem front bumper and R1 lip for the time being.

i was really happy with the offest of the wheels because i was aiming for a real aggressive look. and seeing from your pictures, since your running a similar set up. it was a great choice.

i appriciate the help

No problem, its hard to find good fitment on this forum. I always liked the RPF1s, but it did not fit my "VIP" styling, but after the fact with the RPF1's they give a nice "VIP Sports" look but need the right fitment and you are real close.

I will have to slap the oem w/r1 lip back on and give you some clearance numbers.
