Another "will these wheels fit my car" question

I'm in the market for a set of wheels for which I've been given the following information:

18"x7.5" front, Offset: 31.5
18"x10" rear, offset: 39mm (low ET)
Bolt pattern is 5/108.

Tires that come on them are either:

Michelin Pilot Sport tires: 225-40-ZR18 front and 275-40-ZR18 rear.
Bridgestone Potenza tires P215/45ZR18 on the front, and P245/40/ZR18 on the rear.


If you don't mind me bothering you with this, my questions to you are:

1. Will these fit on my 95' Rx7?
2. Will I need aftermarket suspension?


Thanks in advance. Z

Thats a big difference in width front to rear. The fronts are narrower then stock. The bolt pattern is wrong. and no way in hell would I put a 245/40 on a 10" wide wheel.

No they will not work on your car.

Believe it or not.. these specs are for stock Ferrari wheels.

I would love to make these work, but I understand that the bolt pattern is different. Is there no solution?

NO. Get wheels that are properly sized and built for your car. What's so special about Ferrari wheels anyway? I think most of them look way too chunky and they are certainly not lightweight.

Do some searching around here or PM Rishie (ARD T2) for wheel advice. He is the forum wheel vendor.

nothing "special," really. I just happen to like its look and the price I can get them for.
