This thread seems to get more traffic. I'm picking up these same wheels as Gene. Same size and offset as well.

https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-w...1024603/page2/

Currently my setup is

18x10 Rear Offset +41/ 18x8.5 Front Offset +40
Front Tire – 235/40/18
Rear Tire – 265/35/18

I realize I'll have to roll my fenders. Gene is running 235/35/18 front. Would me running 235/40/18 make any difference?

Most 235/40-18 are 25.4" to 25.5" diameter and so too tall for the front of the FD.

They will bottom out easily and possibly rub the plastic fender liner on the inside of the fender/engine bay and if you have factory mud flaps they will rub those.

I had issues with my 25.3" tall tires rubbing the factory mud flaps.

245/35-18 may work

There are a lot of tire calculators out there (incl the one at the top of this thread). I like this one

That's because that tire size basically doesn't exist--- super skinny sidewall too.

How about 235/40/18 up front? He said there aren't many options for 235/35/18.

Edit, realized I already said 235/40/18 which is what I have now. I'm running H&R springs at the moment

So what do you guys recommend if not 235/40/18?

What size and offset wheels are you getting?

That thread title has sizes, and then there are other sizes in the thread and I don't know who Gene is, so that doesn't help...
