Question 1993 RX7 "Will this fit?" [F 19x8 +35 offset / R 19x10 +35 offset]

Here is another "will this fit" thread.
I have 1993 rx7 with RSR Down springs.
I'm wondering if these would fit onto my car...

Front wheels: 19x8 +35 offset with 245/35/19
Rear Wheels: 19x10 +35 offset with 275/30/19

Thanks!

Attached picture is how my car looks like with 17x9, 17x10 right now.

19's? I don't know if you can keep the same diameter.

I think I found the perfect size and offset for a stock body FD. The car below has Enkei NTO3+M, frt 9.5 +27, rr 10.5 +30 X 18. Tires are Advan medium hard compound (treadwear 60), frt 265/35, rr 285/30. I should have gone for the 255's in the fronts though. The rear tires stretch nicely across the 10.5's, but the front tires bulge out a little too much. I did roll the fenders front and rear for clearance. The car is lowered as well.

Give me a break....proper fitment doesn't involve the wheels sticking out an inch past the fenders!

Terrible offsets, way too low. Your scrub radius will be jacked and your wheel bearings will take a pounding. Fender rolling will be REQUIRED. Front tire size should be 245/30 or 235/35 19, BTW.

19" wheels may appear too large for the car. Also, they will raise the car significantly. Unless you intend to add an aggressive bodykit, I would suggest sticking with the wheels you have, they look great!

I needed fitment advise as well, but I just wanted to say your car looks great as is. Why don't you just search (keyword 19's on FD) and I'm SURE you'll find other peoples proven offsets and tires sizes for 19 inch rims. I actually also went with 19's but my car is a little bit wider so my numbers wont work for you.

Wow...well aren't you, the "expert"? An inch past the fenders? What pic are you looking at? That red FD looks incredible...you need to see it in action on a track to appreciate, and that's all it's practically used for, with 255's no tire-rubbing should be evident. I know the owner personally, and the car looks absolutely phenomenal.

Wow, Mike. I never saw those pictures before. Did Andy take them?

Here's a quick vid I dug up:

Yeah...Andy and I both took them. I have the video from the last Super Lap Series somewhere, and I know I've got a few clips of you in it.

Rynberg, I'm sorry if I got testy with you, but your remark was kinda overboard, or at least it came across that way. Espescially toward someone that is new to the board.

Question confirmation of wheel/tire specs?

18x10.5, +30mm, 285/30/18

It's hard for me to believe that he doesn't have rubbing issues in the rear, even considering rolled rear fenders. Reason I ask is because I have 17x10, +35mm wheels, 275/40/17 tires in the rear, and the tire edge looks pretty damn close to the fender edge. My car is already lowered on Eibach pro-kits, and I want to bring down the rear a bit more but am not sure if I have the lateral clearance. No rubbing issues right now... rolled rear fenders too.

EDIT: I just realized it's REH's car... oops.
