Rx7 FD3S Wheel question.

Wanted your guys' expert opinion before pulling the trigger on this one. I have a FD3S with stock fenders (not rolled or widebody). I'm looking to pick up some work meister S1 3-piece wheels, would i have any rubbing issues in the front if i went 18x9 and 18x10.5 in the rear? Also what offset should i go with?

thanks

I'd go with 35 in the front and 45 for the rears, then I'd roll the fenders.

Yeah it all depends on the offset man. I mean you really can fit a whole lot of wheel in the wells especially in the rear, but without wide body the offset is dependent. More info!!

Stock suspension vs. Coilovers may affect your decision too.

appreciate the reply i went with 18x10 +25 in the rear and rolled my fenders, might have to add a little bit of negative camber to get a perfect fitment.
