Show us a pic of this 4 rotor 12 spark plug engine... my car has 4 rotors too, but they are stuffed in behind the wheels, maybe you mean rotAr. And what's up with making the custom rotar housings to accept the 3rd plugs along with a custom ignition system. And WTF is an all wheel drive suspension?

Just looking for some substantiation to your claims.

Suddenly this thread isn't about wheels and tyres, but I'm sure we all want to see your motor....

oh ya.....well I have a 10 rotor with 30 spark plugs!!
it makes (hold pinky to corner of mouth) 1 miiiillion horse power!!!

RRRRRRRRRRRight!

What's funny is the 4 rotor is followed up with an even better one: AWD. Alrighty then...

ZONDERVAN CYCLES RX7 please stay on topic in this thread. Thanks.

OK, read the whole thread (and ended up with a nice laugh at the end there) and now I'm a bit miffed.

I am looking for lightweight wheels for my '90 NA, and originally I had looked at the OZ Crono Evolutions, but the rack has them at a +45 offset, which seems way off for running 225/45/17 all around. The OZ Hydras, (which I'd want in a 17X8) I can't seem to nail down a weight for.

I'm not sure if this is the thread to be asking this, but am I going to be running into walls looking for a 17x8 wheel under 20lbs that will fit without spacers?

Also, other than tirerack and 1010, what online wheel/tire stores might have wheel weights and available offsets?

TIA,

What's the possibility of 215's up front and 225's in the rear on a 'vert?

The tire rack sell the Superleggara's don't they? I use to have them with +40 x 4 and they were cool wheels (17 x 8) Had they made a 17 x 10 here in the US I woul have just bought two rear wheels and kept them on.. Enkie makes a few light wheels, which I have now for the street ( RPF1).. The 17 x 9.5 weigh's 16.5lbs.. thats light

Most OZ wheels are heavy.
If you're looking for 20 lbs. or lighter in 17" x 8" size, your'e going to have to pay a premium for them.
I like SSR stuff - try the SSR Comp's?

That's not a problem.
Fitting 225 up front and 255 in the rears are pretty easy.

I have an '88 vert and I run 18"x10" with 265's in the rear
 

I have an '88 Vert and I am running 235's up front and 265's in the rear.
My wheel has about a 35 offset and the sizes are:
18"x9" Fittipaldi Wheel up front
18"x10" Fittipaldi Wheel on the rear.
No Rubbing.

The OZ Superleggara 17 x8 weigh like 16lbs.

Looks nice...

but 450hp??? I think I'm missing something...

How about old school Racing Beat 6-spoke 2-piece wheels?

17x8 F 35mm offset
17x9 R 35mm offset

225/45/17 front
255/40/17 rear

Edit: wow, question answered. Questionable, may need coilovers to run 255s in the rear.

You don't need coilovers to run a 255 with those offsets....

my concern would be the fronts with that offset

Your still more than fine...

Really? Good to hear. I might get a set of coilovers anyways, just to jack up my springrates.

16x7.5" +42mm with a 225/50/16?

I think it would be tight inside, but would it clear?

I would bet not.

right now I have that same tire on stock wheels with alot of camber and it is very close. with that wheel you will 8mm closer.

yea, that's what i was thinking, I run that tire on the stock s5 t2 rims, with coilovers, and it's a little tight.

hey guys would these fit an fc? without any modifications?
17x8.5 +42 215/45/17
17x9.5 +42 225/45/17

thanks

Okay I have been reading this thread for awhile now and the more I read the less I seem to know. So I have a question for you. I found the set of wheels I want but they only offer them in 18 x 8.5 or larger with the 5x114.3. The offsets are +35 or +40. Will any of these work on both the front and rear with a 1" drop springs from RB? If so what tire size will I need to run? And will I need spacers or anything else to make them work. Thanks for any help you can offer.

No. :(


-Ted

You need spacers.
Even with a 8.5" +35, it's going to get to tight inside unless you have a set of coilovers that allows you to jack the spring perch higher.
I think you need 1/4" or slightly larger to make them fit up front.

8.5" wide +35 will fit in the rears no problem.
