G games 19" wheels on a 3rd Gen

Dont even have my FD yet but already picking out wheels. I want to know what you all think about the G Games 77 Wolf 2-piece wheels (made by rays) i have pictured. not shure on the weight. I was planning on running the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245/35/19's and 275/30/19's. I also would like to know if i could run 19x10's or 10.5 on the rear. Thanks

19's generally aren't a good choice for the RX7, unless you are trying to build a monster truck/car.

You can do 10" in the rear, but it depends on the offset of the wheel and the size of the tire you plan to use.

well the 19's are gonna be my everyday ride around and car show wheels cause bigger looks better. I will get some 16's or 17's for the track/drag stuff.

Yep, those stock brakes look hot behind 19s!

I suggest you wait until you actually OWN the car first....and have done whatever maintenance is necessary.

You need to run 245/30 or 235/35 19 up front to keep the tires out of the fender liner.

There's a point at which things are too big.

big brake kit wont be a problem if needed. thanks for the insight on the 235/35/19's prob what i will use in the front. just want to know why do alot of you guys on the site get off topic and shoot down questions with smart answers.

a lot of 19's are put on 7's and work for everyday use if 20's would fit i would get some. im not asking if u think 19's are a good choice im asking if they fit fine and if you all like the wheels.

Because:

a) You didn't even provide the offsets which is vital to know whether a wheel will fit or not.

b) You also didn't provide the size tires you want to run as that is also another part of "will it fit".

c) It's call constructive criticism. If you ask anything on a public forum, be ready to read/view other's opinions. Easiest thing to do is to ignore the statements or comments you don't agree with and move on.

a) here is what if found on rays web site

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...odelName=77W_V

19x8 offset a are +24, +30, and +37
19x9 offset a are +16,+24,+30, and +38
19x10 offset b looks like the only option but should work.

・The 19-inch OFFSET A in the size table denote models matching big calipers of CELSIOR, SUPRA,
FAIRLADY Z, SILVIA, SKYLINE, RX-7 and IMPREZA.

・The depth of rims in the size table denotes the length from flanges to faces of disks.

b) the tire size's i did give in my original post, rynberg said i may have to use 235/35/19's dont know.

c) dont mind the constructive criticism just dont understand smart comments by people those should be kept to yourself

honestly they wont look good. if you think 20s are cool go buy a truck.

no but seriously ive seen 19s in person you can pull them off and look good, but like 19x8 just looks like crap. yea big is cool if you say so i can understand that, but skinny like that especially on a big wheel looks like ****, imo.

i think you need higher offsets to get them to fit especially with the 10s in the back.

wide is the new big

You could run 9" +42 front, w/ 255/30/19, (but not sure if "offset B" will clear the brakes) and 10" +42 rear w/ 275/30/19.

Rolling diameters won't be any taller than 18" wheels w/ similar widths in 35 series.

I Will Prob Go With 235/35/19 8" Rim In Front. And 275/30/19 10" Wheel In Back. I Will Just Call Rays Wheels And Find Out For Sure And Get Correct Offsets From Them.

But What Do You Guys Think About The Wheels? And Do Any Of U Know The Weight In The 18 Or 19?

Bah, run Ptrhahn's suggested fitment....

Why do you care what we think about them? If you like them, that's what matters. Personally I think they are unattractive. They are pretty light for cast wheels....I think low to mid 20 lbs in the size you are looking at.

Ptrhahn's suggested is great but tires in 255/30 are hard to find for me at least. i may just go with 18 in front 19 in back or get the ks-auto burnout kit.

here is a pic of a 7 i took pics couple of years ago at show in pigeon forge, tn nopi i think. it has 19" blitz wheels (would like to know spacing and tire size) same car looks like it sold a while back on speedforsale

^^^

Tirerack list four brands that carry 255/30/19 and 275/30/19... Conti, Dunlop, Pirelli, and Yoko all have 'em. Cheapest are Dunlop SP Sport Max.

tires are easy to find.... i run toyo t1r's

255/30/19 up front
285/30/19 out back

although i do have wide front fenders i experience no rubbing front or back. I need to get coilovers or springs to eliminate some of the fender gap though. Im running advan sienna generation II 19x9 + 46 and 19x10 + 46 out back. If you can afford the ps2 in the 285 i suggest those as i liked the ride comfort more on those than the t1r's. The wheels look big in the picture but with the big lip they look about the same size as my old 18's that had minimal lip. Listen to rynbergs advice though, he knows what hes talking about - how do you think i chose tire sizes

cars getting painted now but you can see the fender gap im talking about in the rear

are there any cheap wheels that i can get in 18x8.5 or 9 up front and 18 x 10 or 10.5 in the rear. i may end up going wit the 18's yall may be right. because i think to do the 19" setup right i will have to spend more than i want to.

could someone tell me if one of these three will work.

http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...heelmodel=Hype

http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...2D+Hyper+Black

http://www.torkwheels.com/tork_revo_gbk.html

wheels would be 19x8.5 and 19x9.5
the tork website is wrong they 19x9 but they are 9.5
