19" wheels to FD3S
Hi,
I'm going to have Buddy Club Racing 2 wheels to my FD. I was planning 19*9" wheel with 235/35R19 tire on front and 19*10" wheel with 275/30R19 tire on back.
What would be correct ET for those wheels? Available ET:s are 25 and 40 to front wheel and 20 and 25 to rear wheel.

How about 19*9,5" with ET38 to back?

I had a 38mm in back with a 18x9 1/2 275/35 with no problems and I am running a lowered suspension about 1 1/4-1 1/2 lower. Now the 19x10 you could probably get away with a 38mm but I stay safe with a 40-42mm

Hi,
I ended up ordering 19*9" ET40 to front and 19*10" ET25 to back. I decided to make the space for that rear wheel. I'm propably going to use 245/35R19 front and 275/30R19 rear tires.

And they WILL fit. The question is more like how much work it needs

I was under impression that these were matters of our opinions... Ofcourse I could be wrong...

Of course they're opinions.
Your Opinion: I like 19s. I think they will look good on my Rx-7. I want to get them. Can you guys help me out with sizes? k...thanks for the help....I won't use any of it and I'll just do what I was going to do originally before I even started this thread.
My Opinion: 19's are big heavy and begin to look funny on rx-7's. Tire sizes are quite limited when going with 19's as opposed to something smaller.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm sure your Drift Rx-7 will turn out just fine in the end.

DriftRX7: It has never made sense to me to try to make a bunch of modifications to a car instead of just buying wheels that fit in the first place. Especially when there are wheels that fit properly and look much like the Buddy Club 2, like the SSR Competition or GT-7 (of course, those may become hard to get very soon).

Well, no... your rear wheels will already be approximately 17-20 mm too far OUT. How are you going to use spacers to push them back in??
You needed approximately a +40-42 in the rear to fit.
Here's a 10" +42. Your wheel is going to stock 17 mm further out:
