FC RX7 Wheel fitment

Hi all,

​​​​​​i have a stock body and suspension FC RX7.

I have looked extensively in FC wheel fitment section but can't find a similar post to what I'm querying.

Would 18x8.5 +25 fit on front 225 or 235/40 tyre
18x10 +25 fit on the rear 255 or 265/35
Appreciate any advice, recommendations, opinions.
​​​​​​​Cheers.

I bought 17x8 +35 and they're to close to the struts on my 1990 . I got the wheel size from this forum so the offset may be a problem for you also .

Cheers for the reply.

I ended up buying 17x8 +35 for the front and 17x9 +35 for the rear.

Did you have to use spacers on the front ?

I haven't put them on yet. When I do I'll let you know.
It will be interesting to see how they go up front as there are 235 tyres all round.

havent bought any spacers yet , but it seems everyone is running a + 35 offset . I also read that the performance struts are smaller in diameter so I don't know wich way to go .

you can also try RIMTUCK.com - Wheel Fitment Database, some of the stuff on their might be a bit extreme though
