Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting the RE Amemiya AW-7 wheels with 17x9.5 in the rear and 17x8 up front. Will the rear wheels fit without any cutting in the back? Thanks.

 

They will fit... I have 9.5 x 17's +38mm w/ 275
and on the front I have 9 x 17 +35mm
w/ 235. Hope this helps

 

oops

 

What are the offsets?

That's a pretty big stagger. Ideal tire sizes for those wheels will be 225/45 fronts and 255/40 or 265/40 rears. It would be better to get wider fronts if possible, unless you like understeer.

 

Ohhh you have an FD...those wheels and tyres will easily fit...I have a 91 TII and they fit with no mods...

 

bkapold@aol.com,
Who did you go through to get those wheels?

 

REDX7: I have Enkei RPF1's and I bought them from Discount Tyre. I think 315.00 for the 9.5's and 290.00 for the 9's...

Enkei.com has cool spread sheet with offsets, bore etc.

The RPF1's are the widest, lightest, best looking, cheapest wheel I could find. 16.5lbs for the 9.5's and I run a 275 on a TII . I looked at Fikse's CCW's, Kinesis, etc. and i didn't want to spend 2-4k.... Anyway, check'm out...

Thanks man! I'll have to take a look at those.
