Need help picking Wheel Size and offset please
Buying some wheels soon and need a little help about picking them out. Well the first size I want to go with in the front are 18X8 9-114.3 42GMM and for the back I want to go with 18X9 9-114.3 43GMM or should I go with 18X9 9-114.3 35GMM. Is there anything wrong with having these sizes on my FD? I have 94 Fd btw also. Tires size I plan to go with are Front: 235/40/18 and Back: 265/35/18.
What sizes do you people recommend? And are my rim sizes and offsets fine?

My advice, put your flame suit on and tell us what wheels they are ![Big Grin](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Reason being, you have to include caliper clearance in deciding the offset and those are rim specific.

derty:
If you are set on that particular wheel, get the +43 offset fronts. The 9" wide rear at +43 is fine. Like amraam4 suggested, you should verify that they have proper caliper clearance up front, although that's less of an issue with 18" wheels.

I run 18x9 all around with a 40 offset. However, my wheels have a bowed out spoke pattern to help with caliper clearance. Not saying what you have won't work, just letting you know.
