Max Offset / Wheel sizing question for FC Turbo II?

Might want to invest in set of rims for the FC TurboII.

I am looking at a set of 16" rims, staggered, with the front being 16x7 +28mm and rear 16x8 +35mm

I think the front offset is too aggressive for FC, am I correct? I just want to make sure I dont get a set that will cause any rubbing etc.

Thanks for the help guys!

The perfect wheel set for FC would be:

16x8 + 25mm x 4

and you can run a 245 wide tire unstaggered.

stock wheels are 16 x 7 +40, so the front wheel will move out 12 mm from stock, the rear wheel will move out ~18mm on the outside and ~8mm in on the inside.

It will fit fine.
Not ideal for the wheel bearings, but RX-7s seem to have strong wheel bearings.
