Considering two BBS wheels....need some help

Hi there,

I've got a base1995 SSM Rx7, currently on Ohlins with OEM FD wheels and 20mm spacers in front and 25MM spacers in the rear. Recently upgraded to '99 turbos & brakes/ECU I'm looking to get more rubber on the car to manage the power/handling/braking needs.

Currently looking at the following wheels...BBS RG-R and BBS RI-A

Front 18x8.5 +36 and Rear 18x9.5 +38

Does anyone have pics of a SSM FD with the bright silver RG-R or RI-A mounted?

I've spent 2 days searching forum and google/insta for this exact setup...no luck hence posting this here. In addition the color (SSM on Silver), I'm trying to understand how much/little the front/rear wheels will be dished/concave with those offsets.

Thanks very much...see below for pic of current setup

Have you also considered the Sakebomb RZ+ wheels? Not sure if you're interested in 17's, they are 17x9.5+45...

Are you married to BBS? Fikse recently release some new styles and one of them is similar to the Spirit-R/RGR in design, but a very different appearance and finish overall---

Picked up this set of wheels yesterday. C$1200. 18" with 245x40 tires. Don't know the wheel width or offset yet.

Tires are good but are some budget tires from an obscure maker.
