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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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..
