Fifteen52 17x9

fifteen52 Tarmac Wheel - 17x9" - Bean Garage

These wheels come in +30 or +45 offset.

I have never, ever seen these on an RX7 FC. I really wish to get these wheels.

How would these fit? I run Megan Racing Track coilovers, and I would have to go with 17x9's because there is no 5x114.3 bolt patterns for 17x8's.

What I am worried about most is having enough clearance for the coilovers/calipers, (and yes, spacers can always move the wheel outward so it does not rub on the suspension/brakes, but then there is the issue of it sticking too far out past the wheel well...I could of course pull/roll the fenders).

Anyways, what do you guys think? Good fit? And what offset would you suggest? I am thinking +35.

17x9 +30 is the size you want. You might need a spacer, even then, with max negative camber and rolled fenders it'll be tight up front with 255 tires.

Yeah I was thinking about the front; it is unfortunate there is no stagger option becuase i'd like to be able to run some meaty tires, but oh well.

Thanks for the feedback.
