It depends on the tire sizes you want to run, because the sidewall heights vary, but I think you're going to be really close in the front under heavy compression. The rears should be OK though.

Ask Rishie (ARD T2). He knows his ****.

It will work fine. Use standard sizing of 235/40 and 265/35/18s.

Laters, Rishie

yup... those are the beauties. i really like the look of them on the rx7. luckily i found a set left over that were never sold.

if you get lots of offers i guess it safe to assume this is a purchase i could sell off pretty easy if the time ever comes?

what's the going rate for them nowadays anyway? anyone know?

thanks
sam

ok so now i have the rims... but of course i have to get the car lowered to run them without looking like a 4x4.

so my question now is will these work without rolled fender lips if i use racing beat springs?

thanks
