Definitely a helpful post. Thanks!

 

Awesome!

 

These are not mine, but hopefully this will jump start this thread.

These wheels are SSR

Rear: 18x10 +44

This thread should have been in the FD section, it would have actually been posted to regularly!

 

If I'm using the tools correctly you shouldn't have to roll your fenders.


Also a general question about the lazy man calculator-just to clarify that grey area where the two spreadsheets don't agree (I know it was stated above if there is a conflict trust the lazy man). Did all those reported working setups from the lazy man have stock (unrolled) fenders?

 

ok i used the calculator and i have a question.... i am looking to get the VOLK CE28N's 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. i am looking for as little offset as possible to get the most concavity that i can get and still fit. the 18x8.5 has offsets of +25, 30, 40, 47, 52. the lazy man calculator says that +25 would fit. im wondering if this is true.... also the rear wheels 18x9.5 come in +15, 22, 28, 34, 40, 47 . the lazy man calculator says +36 will work the closest volk has is +34. my front fenders are rolled and the rear are trimmed so im wondering if you guys think these sizes will fit??? according to the first spreadsheet it shows that i would have to go with +40 18x8.5 front and +34 18x9.5 rear. also if i was to run 18x9.5 all around the front would have to be +47 and rear +34, does this seems right????????? FWIW right now i am running 19x8 235/35/19 +45 front and 19x9.5 265/30/19 +43 rears with only slight rubbing on the front wheel lining when i hit a bad dip in the road but no fender clearance issues.

 

also its worth noting that i have the rotary extreme trailing arms and toe links. and will soon have the pettit trak pro coil overs.

 

You should call Mackin and find out exactly which offsets are concave. I don't think any of the 8.5" width is concave.

You also want an offset that is NOT FOR BBK clearance.

Who is Mackin?

 

using the spreadsheet with 18x9 and 18x10.5 +38 all the way around it shows that the fronts will fit by a hair and the rears will be .26" too much to the outside. i figure with rolled front fenders and trimmed rears it would probably be just about perfect. but i would like to talk with someone who knows about wheel fitment specifically for FD's. the VOLK dealer i have been talking to doesnt know at all. any help would be appreciated.

 

Since I can't use the spread sheet on my Mac, need to see if a 18x10 45mm offset with 265/30-18 tires and coilovers will fit the front. I'm pretty sure at a minimum I might have to roll the fenders.

Thanks

 

I have a quick question I am looking at some BBS at a local shop here in SD.
BBS RG136
17x8 +45 & 17x9 +40
5x114.3
Are the specs that are on their site.

I dont plan on going widebody and I dont plan on going lower maybe a inch or two when I get rid of my stock suspension. I looked at the spread sheet and it seems like it might not be a good choice. Thanks-Evopanda

 

Those will fit just fine on stock fenders.

 

Thanks

 

So I have 17x8.5+45 with 235/45 and 17x9.5+45 with 275/40 actually on the car, stock suspension. If I put these numbers into the calc it gives me a clearance of .52 outside and .98 inside.

Yet if I turn the wheel hard to one side or the other I get rubbing on the fender lining, which I cant just remove since it covers the engine bay (why did they do this? idk). Do I need to go with a smaller sidewall on the front?

Ive read on Flyweight's https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/maximum-wheel-tire-width-fitment-guide-fd-892901/ thread that I can run a 255/40/17 up front. So Im kinda confused, is this kind of rubbing considered not a big deal or normal?

Theres a mountain road I drive that has a sudden decline and goes back up, I can hear the tire hit the fender if I take it aggressively. Also entering normal driveways (for banks and fast food) if I take anything less than a heads on entrance, my underside grinds. Is all of this something to do with my tires or more of a suspension thing?

What would you guys recommend? I love my wheels and havent yet bought new tires so Im open for suggestion.

 

You probably need stiffer springs rates or dampers more than the tire diameter change. Although a shorter tire will help with your scrub radius issues.

would these fit on stock height and stock fender?
