well, i waited about 6 months to scape up the extra bucks to spend on some 5zigen wheels & tires, and so i call up edgeracing and he says he has none in stock so he calls 5zigenusa and they say they do not have any of the new hot version in stock, so i was like special order them then, and then he says they will be making the new hot version 17x10 in +12 offset ONLY...that is it.....NO +35 OFFSET WTF!!! it was just one after another, this is ******* bullshit wtf is the +12 offset supposed to fit, a mustang! im pissed!

I've read through the whole thread, was wondering if any1 had these wheels in 18s with Burn out front fender + feed rear fender flare? I am planning to get those + the FN01-RCs in 18s. What offset would be it? I want my car to be flush with the wheels. Any idea?

By the way, is it possible to have 275s all around? I had stagger wheels before, and in hard turns the car understeers because I had 255 front and 275 rears. Any input would be great, for a fact I dont know much about offset even though I understand the theory behind it. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest:

18x9.5 +35 Front
18x9.5 +12 Rear

Make sure you trim any excess Fiberglass on the Feed Fender to create more front spacing, analagous to "rolling" of a metal fender. Secondly, make sure when they perforate your OEM Fender that they fold it to act as a supporting member to the new Feed FG rear fender. They will also need to seal and bond this perforated metal fender to the inside wall of the Feed fender. This will gain back the structural integrity that might be lost when trimming the "fender lip" on the FG Feed fender.

As for 275's, it can be done but in all my experiences it's just too tall of a tire for the Front fender arch on the FD.

My suggestion would be to run 265/35/18 front and rear. If that's not enough friction then get some stickier tires and call it a day.

Remember you always have me local to ya in the South Bay to iron out final pricing and fitments.

BOL, Rishie

Ya just depends what time and when you got priced out. Now that their FN has been revised it's gone up about $20 per wheel compared to old times.

My old 17" price would be closer to the 800 mark. $1200 would be over retail and unethical for me to charge that much.

I really think those 5Zigen FN01-RCs look really nice on an FD RX7, especially those bronze ones.

OK so i added some wheels to my order:

Here's what i have coming in:

17x10:
+35 Front, +25 ONE SET- BRONZE

+25 TIME ATTACK FINISH - ONE SET, SAME OFFSET ALL AROUND

+35 MATTE BLACK - ONE SET, SAME OFFSET ALL AROUND

Basically 3 sets are in stock.

One mixed offset Bronze
One Front aggressive offset Time Attack
One Standard setup Matte black

i'm doing special pricing until end of this week for any of you who want a set of these. No more in stock, probably another 2-3 months before 5zigen gets more.

Just FYI that only 10" Size is CONCAVE.

PM me with what you want and in what color.

I do have some of what you need here but need to make sure I can replace the odd set that i'll end up with.
