FC wheel offset
What kind of offset are you guys running with 8" or 9" wheels. I don't want to add flares if I don't need to.
Thanks E |
I've got Keizer 15x8 wheels with 5.25" backspace. In the front I have to run a 1/4" spacer so the 225s clear the coilovers.

+40 with a 20mm spacer all around 8.5" rims. VERY Mild baseball bat flare in the front just rolled the lip in the rear.
my street car runs 8" rims at +25, no flare, just rolled lips. |
I run 225/45-17 tires on a 8.5" wide 42mm offset rims front and rear. In the front I have a 17mm spacer/adapter and rolled lips. In the rear I have a 22mm spacer/adapter and stock lips. This is with stock style struts/shocks - I have not yet installed the coil-overs.

I should mention i run 225 or 235 tires depending on brand...

Thanks guys!
We currently run 225's on 15x7. Want to step up to and 8" or wider rim Any suggestion on rims? |
finding a low offset 15x7" or 8" rim has been nearly impossible for me. There are used kosei's around but hard to find...ive been trying to get a price on some team dynamics pro race 1.2 in either an ET15 or ET20 but no luck as yet.
its easier in 17" to get a low offset bot not super easy, i have been running the 40ET RPF1 with the spaces simply because they are plentiful |
I couldn't find any off the shelf 15x8s that fit under the stock fenders, so I wound up having wheels made. I went with Keizer, but any number of companies can do it. The trick is the amount of time it takes to get them. I cancelled orders with both Spin Werks and Jongbloed before ordering from Keizer -- the other companies were taking too long. And even with Keizer a while.

Steel is always an option. Not one i am crazy about, but cheap and easy to come by.

I can put you in contact with a friend of mine that imports TD PR 1.2 rims. Send me a PM if you are still interested. I got a quote from him on 17 x 7.5" TD PR 1.2 with the correct offset for the FC RX7
Panasport +0 offset Spinwerks +0 offset Team Dynamics +35 offset I spent 2-3 months waiting on an order of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2, +23 offset, which they claimed were on the shelf somewhere in England. Ultimately they admitted they were NLA and no plans to make any. The Pro Race 2 is discontinued. The Panasports and Spinwerks are > $200 each. The TD is $135. (For 4x100, the selection is much better -- 15x8s and 15x9s can be found in that BP). If you can run 17", I have 17x8 SSRs +40 offset, and 5Zigen FN01-RC 17x9s, +15 front, +35 rear. The +15s require the 20mm fiberglass fenders from Mazdatrix (or flares). |

I will probably end up going SSR and keeping my 20mm spacers if i switch to 15" rims. But, boy are they pricey for 15" race rims. They are only made in +42.
