Well, I am back into an RX7 and I'm looking at wheels. What I am looking for is as large as a lip that I can get. I'm thinking MAYBE getting the burnout rear flares or pettit, something to flare out the fares to help add some space/size. Anyway I'm open to all suggestions. I need something that will look good on MB or Black (I may repaint the car black) How does a black wheel with polished lip look on a MB? I know it'll look good on a black car. Here is a picture of my past FD as well as current.

 

DriftdreamzSS has a MB FD with SSR Professor SP1s with black centers/polished lip with pretty nice fitment.

 

Budget for wheels and tires?

 

I seriously think a nice champagne, not dark orange, GOLD is too die for on MB.

I've seen meister s1 3 piece

Oh and go for the Burnout fenders. The petits are too aggressive and I haven't seen any front fenders that really make the body lines look clean too match the petit rears.

Are you stretching tires, what kind of alignment you want?

Rishie

 

+1 for burnout fenders. I think pettit fenders look ugly and ruins the lines of the FD.

Or, if you want the most lip possible, you can run a similar setup to the Burnout FD.



But you need to stretch the tires, and get aggressive with the alignment.

 

Budget will probably be around $3000. I need to decide if I want to do the Burnout flares first. I do like those Work wheels though Rishie, dunno about the Goldish finish though. I'll definitely be contacting you again for my wheels and will likely get the Stance coilovers again.

 

I would suggest Volks TE37's or Advan RS. There is also the Gull Flames:

Rishie that looks great, can you give me the width and offset please?

 

yes!!! somebody please post the size and offset on the MB rx7

 

This is a little more aggressive than the standard FD owner would run.

It's been a long time but i'll interpolate the fitment from the look of it.

18x9.5 and 10.5 somewhere in the mid 30's offset i believe.

I need to pull up the lip depths and cross reference them. Work Japan site for the offset tables isn't working, blehhhh.

235/40 and 265/35 i'm pretty sure are the tire sizes.

This FD belongs to the owner of www.wheelchoice.com, fyi.

if your reasoning for widebody fenders is space for wheel fitment, i think you should look at this car. it belongs to a member here named (Supastar Bruce)

https://www.rx7club.com/members/supastar-bruce-104470/

all factory quarter panel and fenders that have been rolled to fit big wheels

 

He is also running a VERY VERY stretched tire and probably atleast 3* of negative camber.

 

Curious as to what the price is for them?

 

IMO, Farkels car looks great on SSRs.

 

cpnneeda, send me a PM and i'll work the #'s for ya,

Rishie

 

+1 on these rims, and esp his car.

 

pm sent


To the OP, if it's gonna be a while until you do the fenders and such, how about a set of 99 spec rims?

Like that? Hell, I've thought of getting a set of those for winter time, seeing as how there is no snow here.
