73 RX-3 wheel offset

What is the stock wheel offset of the 3?

What is the recommended offset for 15x7 (f) and 15x9 (r) without rolling/cutting the fenders?

My goal is to fit the widest possible without trimming (maybe minimal cutting) excessively.

Thanks in advance.

I have a 14x7.5 +4 up front and 14x8 0 offset in the back, no cutting or rolling in the fender. This is on a 77 sp, I also have a 73 but it will have a 16x7 0 offset in the front and 16x8 0 offset in the back.

The 15x7 I'm sure will fit as long as it doesnt have some crazy negative offset. but the 15x9 might be a bit much, what's the offset?

I have 51x8 all the way around on a 73 RX2. I'll check the offset but I think it's 0 as well. they tuck all the way around without rolling the fenders. I'll post pics for you when I take some.

Thanks for the info - I'll keep these sizes in mind. The 15x9 seller dropped off the face of the earth ..so there goes that thought. Anyway, I'm looking for wheels for the 3 - epsilons, simmons, ssr, racing hart - whatever fits well and aggressive. I am after a stance similar to my red fc below.

Thanks again.

If you can get a 15x9 in the back of a rx3 then please show me how. I have 15x7's in back with 26x8.50 inch slicks and the barely tuck in there. I get a little rubbing when I turn.
