I made my own time attacks FN's about a year ago using car pinstriping. lololol

I'm also using stance coilovers. The fn's on the car are 17x10 +25 all around. 245 40's on all corners I could do a 255 but i like my fitment right now.

 

That's sweet and very creative.

so for 17x10 +25 the best tire size to run with no rub would be 245 if i plan on going with federal 595? i dont even know what the second number means after the 245 lol....

 

245 = width

40 = profile/aspect ratio. %age of the width = sidewall height

17 = diameter of wheel

 

Well no. It depends on what the car is being used for I guess. Depending on ride height and your style of fitment you could run bigger or smaller tires.

 

im looking to use them as dd and occasionaly autox..

 

you will have to roll your fenders a little. The rears with 245 or 255 pretty much fit perfect. The fronts is where you will need to pay close attention to the fitment. I had to heat them up and rolled/slight pull the fronts, but I like my car dirty low to the ground.

 

After going to a Shell gas station and one of those fuel tank cover things on the ground caught onto my chassis. I'm going to raise my car.

 

I got stuck going into my garage. My diff brace is a POS. I learned how to drive about 2in of the ground. A little spark on the highway looks dope at night.

 

Ballinmiami, can you take a shot from right near the rear fender for me? I'm trying to figure out if I should go 245 or 255 for the rears in a +25, with Tein H-techs and Koni Yellows.. ZE-912s as well, same as you.

 

Anyone have a pic of 17 x 9 +43 with 255/40/17 on a stock suspension?

 

Wooooo got my set on today 17x10 +25 rear +35 front, 255/40 rear, 245/40 front. Pics were taken right after I dropped it on the ground so the suspension wasn't settled yet.

 

Looks absolutely wonderful.

Glad they made it there safely.

How do you like the way those lugnuts match? Pretty cool huh...

Rishie

 

The lugnuts look awesome with these wheels, thanks again!

 

wow metal... I want to have sex with your car... That fitment is mega sexy...

 

Nice, good call on the manly aggressive offsets. Coming from a 240sx, I've noticed that RX7 guys usually tend to go very conservative in wheel fitment. Nothing wrong with it, but it's cool to see people pushing the limits.

 

But the FD guys who are "conservative" are typically putting down a lot of meat for more "grip" purposes.

most fd guys will run 285's on a 10" Wide wheel.

I like em all, wheel fitments are my game.

 

Yep, but I don't need super grip, no tracks around here to race on, so all I have is autox, and the seasons done now till jan/feb so sexy fitment it is!

 

So who all are running the OG FN's and who has the new "Hot" series?

 

running the OG's here. what you doing on here steven?

 

I don't remember mine lookin' like this with engraved logo..

My offsets are also a bit higher. I thought 25 is a bit out there for my taste. Looking good though for you..

 

OG version hurr

 

Oh ok. hahaha Thanks.
Hey metal, where can I get those lug nuts with the specs? are those perfect fit or do they look like they're about to go through the holes? Thanks...

 

I gots mad love for RX-7's. Plus I'm all about gangster wheel fitments, and most RX-7 folk do it right.

 

LAN, mine have the logo engraved cus they're the Hot Version ones. As for the lugnuts, they fit nicely, they're Muteki SR48s, I got em off Rishie.
