hi i have a 93 rx7 and wanted to know what offset is the best.
im buying volk te37's 18" in bronze. i want a good tuck.
the car is lowered with tein driving spec control master type-flex coilover system with the computer tuning control. i also have suspension techniques sway bar system. again, what would the best offset be?
i was thinking 22 or 15. the other choice is 45.
thank you
chris

 

You will want the 45mm offset, 22 and 15 are way too low and you will have rubbing issues.

 

ok. thank you. how much of a drop will i be able to go? it looks like there is gonna be a pretty big gap...
chris

 

Deff the +45. Stock is +50 which looks way too pushed in with the stock sized wheels, but as you go wider you want to stay closer to the stock offset. I wouln't go below a +40.

 

yeah, i just upgraded from a civic, so yeah, im really just learning, got a lot of money to blow, so ill post up bofroe and after pics.

Umm....what wheel sizes are you looking at? Because the TE-37s aren't available in a +45 offset in any FD-type sizes...

 

I was going to say the same....I have those wheels in 8.5 front and 9.5 rear +40.
I think thats what they offer for the FD...just don't go to big with the tire size.

 

they are 5x114.3 volk te37's 18x10.5
how do you like the fitment of the 8.5 and 9.5? i couldnt find them in any other sizes on my source.
thats why i am asking you all, because i am totally new to the rearwheel drive scheme of things.
thank you all. you just may have saved me..

10.5 +45 would only fit in the rear, and only with "fender modification".

You just got your FD, I'm going to give you some advice as an experienced owner and I strongly suggest you take it:

Leave your car alone for a while. Get all the proper maintenance done on it and leave it alone for at least a few months while you learn more about it. These cars are simply amazing stock, and other than a few modifications for reliability, don't really need ANYTHING to be very quick, top-notch handling, and beautiful cars.

There are pros and cons to nearly every modification, and if you don't know what they are, you may find yourself spending a lot of money to make the car less fun to drive. Just my 2 cents and I hope you take them.

 

kinda gonna be a company show car. not really gonna be driven the most, but i would really like to have your guys' help on things.
rims were the big thing. i have owned a turbo civic(i know, honda), and know turbo specs. the whole rwd thing is new to me...
10" wheels are crazy, and i know i like the deep dish bigger rear wheel look.
8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the rear.
thank you for the info.
