fitment question...

Will 18x9 rims fit a stock height 94 rx7?

Next, what's the best rubber without rubbin. What is the best size? 245/40?, 235/45?

Thanks,

Rob

OK. You must indicate the offset, wheel type. You can run 255/35/18 if offset is good.

I need to know what suspensio you got too.

rishie,

what is the ultimate widest tires and rims u can fit on a FC?

brad apold runs 17x9 +35 mm offset on a 235 tire (not sure of aspect ratio) and a 17x10 265 tire (again not sure of aspect ratio), with Enkei RPF1

can u comment on this fitment?

i would assume he is running a 235/40/17 tire, what is the benfit if fitting a 235 tire on a 9 inch rim versus a 8 inch rim?

I don't know how he's doing it? I am more conservative on my max fitments.

I'd say 8 up front with 235/40. I'm unsure of and advantage. Depends i guess on the type of racing being done.
