I have an '87 fc3s and I was wondering if some lexus IS300 wheels will fit on the car correctly if I do the five lug conversion. The reason I am wondering is because I can get the IS wheels for free from a friend and think that they would look pretty good on the rx7. The only problem is that I need to go five lug (not too expensive from what I've seen) and I know that those wheels may have a weird offset (don't want them to stick out, ya know?). Let me know if anyone has an idea. Thanks.

 

Get the width and the offset?
I think the offsets are rather deep...
7" +50 or 8" +50?

ive seen them on an fc. they look fine. but i dont know if he used spacers. they didnt stick out too far though

 

You'll need spacers just like with FD wheels.

 

Getting ready to put IS300 wheels on my S4 Vert on stock suspension. Anybody know the exact spacer size and recommended tire size would be?

17x7 +50

 

10mm min.
I'd go like 1/2" or 13mm.

+50 is weak
I'd get a 20-30 mm spacer

 

Thanks guys.

+50 is kinda weak. But free trumps weak. Even if I don't like them I can sell them to someone how does.

 

35mm Spacer

215/45 Stock tire size
225/40
235/40

 

i ran around with those on for a year on stock suspension, didnt rub or anything

 

Not worth the effort being narrow with a bad offset. They're probably reasonably heavy too. What fits nicely is some 17x8 30mm offset wheels and 225/45/17's all around. Mustang GT wheels fit the bill perfectly and are quite cheap and readily available.

 

225/40 and 235/40 aren't normally available sizes. How about 225/45 or 235/45?

 

235/40/17 is a normally available size, lots of tires have that size. Not as many as a 225/45/17, but still some. I've seen 225/40/17's too.

 

for 17s, the 225/40 be will hard to come by.

235/40 is a common size.

Look into Falken FK452, lots of great sizing

 

I have Kumho MX's 245/40/17 in the front and 255/45/17 in the rear. You just have to get wheels with the right offset.
