I like the "hella flush" cars but that ^^^^ looks ugly, maybe you need some bigger flares like some one else said but idk.

Maybe it would look good if you had a full widebody bc those rims looks way to big for the stock body even with wide panels.imo

Wow, that is some serious offset fail right there.

I seriously don't get the stretched rubber mentality. I like to drive my FD fast, and corner hard. Thats what the car was made for.

Haters are always going to hate. I think with a drop in the rear and some negative camber it will be just fine.

That's it. I'm getting some 55 gallon drums. I'll get ahold of Michelin or some other tire company to make me some 805/25/30s to fit it. LOL

Yeah in that pic it definitely looks like it needs a drop in the back, maybe the other pics just weren't clear enough.

So those are Chargespeed fenders or what?

In the pics with the front rims on the suspension hadnt settled in the rear, I actually have about 1/2inch between the tire on the rear normally. Its the origin front and rear fenders.

20B 3 Rotor I like the way the car is coming along, what sizes and offsets are your wheels?
I also agree that the hella-flush(where the hell did "hella" even come from..it just sounds stupid) thing can get old and yea its not completely "different" but for FD its a change . it gets old seeing every other FD with a burnout kit and CCW's .. or C-west kit and +35-45 offset mesh wheels of some sort, I love stock body ,a nice drop, clean paint as much as the next guy... Ok, its not completely "functional" for what the FD was made for, but it doesn't matter cause 85% of the people driving them aren't going to do anything but parking lot pimp anyway. Its the internet, don't take anything to heart 20b. Opinions are opinions.

I have always been a fan of deep dish wheels but I have to agree that the whole stretched tire buisness is an acquired taste to which I do not have. To me it looks like the owner couldn't afford the extra 2" of rubber.

But, it's your car and you do what you want...It's all personal taste.

Haters are gonna hate? Nice blanket statement. When the comments people post have merit, it's not hating. "Haters" are concerned for 20b 3 rotors safety. Maybe your monitor needs to be checked, because what I see on mine is; a wheel that is sitting completely outside the fender and I predict a wear pattern developing on the inner sidewall of his rear tires. Add some negative camber!? he has it maxed out already as you can clearly see here ----> link
THE REAR WHEELS DON'T FIT!

Call me a hater, call me an internet dick call me whatever you want, but that wheel does not fit... as everyone but you and a few others can clearly see. I myself appreciate an aggressive fitment and unique wheels, but you can't just buy a set of wheels and say "yeah that'll work"... you know that.

Whatever size wheel 20b is using up front would probably be close to perfect for the rear.

Fine he wants to be different, great . If everyone has a right to be different then how about replacing the radio antenna with a black *****... now that's different! NO ONE has done that.

I just wish you would have done that setup on something like an $800 240 not an RX-7. Makes the car look pretty cheap. I look at the 7 as a classy sexy japanese supercar that can stand next to any other japanese supercar. Do NSX or supra guys do things like this?

With that said, its your car and everyone is different, but you already know this is pretty extreme! If you are proud of it what the hell.

My wheels are standard old school fit, but I feel they don't harm the look of the car, my color you might not agree with.
