Rx7 fb suspension on rx4

Hi guys, so i'm about to swap a fb front suspension onto my rx4. I was wondering for anyone who's done it what wheel specs you're running?
I'm looking at some longchamps 13×6 +10 but i don't have much reference to go by.
Thanks in advance

the struts don't change anything about the size wheel you can run.

for any oldskool Mazda its 8J wide offset 0 yo get a flush look or anything derived from that with a wheel calculator

but changing to rx-7 suspension has a major downside and that is camber. you need camberplates up top and they need to me maxed out to get proper wheel alignment.
if its just about lowering the car, get a set of weld-oN BC Racing coilovers
i did it for the bigger brakes and 114,3 wheels
but the wheel angle is still very.much an issue i recommend to avoid

Have to ask

About that fender. Is it new? Any chance you have a bunch of them stored? I have a 74 coupe pointy nose. Been looking for a left side fender since I left the car on a friends shop and can’t find it after he moved. Seems like you’re front is the same. Not sure; some one sent me a pic of one I think is of a regular front car. Looks different to me
