Need some help picking a 17" inch tire size "DRIFT LOOK"
Ive noticed and really like the way some of you guys have stretced tires on ur
rx7's "aka drift look'. i have 17x 7.5 rims and wondered is there a certain size, tire brand, or width to get this look? does the rim need to be only a RWD rim, and does it need to have a large lip? the lip on my 17's is about 2 1/2 inch maybe 3". please any help would be great looking to order my tires asap.
here some pics of what i mean by drift look

A 195 tire will give you that Phat Mad Tyte JDM Dorifto Cooler Ranch look. Put a 195 size tire on there and that will be a good stretch for you. Or you could just put a 225 like you're supposed to and spend money on suspension to get that response feel you're looking for.

Yeah sorry we try to filter out stupidity and automotive fads/trends of stupidity. If you want to squeeze an itty bitty tire on a wide rim so you can be JDM, you go right ahead buddy, but all those JDM points aren't going to do **** to help you be a better driver or make your car any faster orr even in this case, cooler looking. So go ahead and go do that while all the TRUE automotive enthusiasts (rotary or non) laugh at you

If you want the tires to line up with the fenders you need the right offset on the rim!! I made that mistake, not getting the right offset when I bought mine. Now I need to get spacers, but not really a fan of spacers myself.
