I however have searched and can't find the answer to my question.

Fistful of steel

I then installed coilovers and run negative camber and have no rubbing at all.

MB battles 17x9.5 +15 max low stretch camber aero
Now: Eat it.
Lca clearance at full lock.
A +22 with 3ish degrees of camber WILL rub the **** out of your spring if it fits at all. I hope you like ZERO or POSITIVE camber.....
I'm laying bn aero ON THE GROUND right now with a 205-40-17 stretched on a 17x9.5 +15 front with my collars flipped at max low.
With my pull, i'm going with a 25mm spacer in the rear effectifly making this a 17x9.5 -10 and i'm also planning to pick up 205-40-17's for those as well.
Yeah, I need different rear coils now.
+15 Probably -0.5* camber.
This setup would fit with just a rear roll, maybe a slight pull and a decent tire stretch. No, i got happy and pulled the living **** out of my 1/4's.... 25mm spacer and the 205-40's should get it right. I'll finish off the pull when i get my rear tires mounted and my spacers get here. More pics soon.
Feel free to talk **** about my unpainted aero, stretched tires, primmer, rusty coils.... Whatever. I expect it out of rx7club members.....
I tagged my post. That way it should help someone. Some of you are far too useless to merit being on this forum. "stretched tires and body kits and ******* up your suspension geometry is useless" There, i beat you to it. Eat my ***....

Ah, and when you say 17x9.5+22 on an fc, with zero or positive camber, you'd have to SLOT your lower mounts or knuckles to get that to fit. There is seriously only 5mm or less between my spring and rim lip. I had to take my wheels off when i got tires mounted in order to wind my coils down. The collar wouldn't clear the wheel.

Thats 17x9.5 +22 front, 17x9.5 +6 rear, some negative camber, handles nicely anyway. The car is a daily/weekend fun car so I'm retaining drivability.
Front is stupid close to the collar, so close that the collar has to be in the right place for it to clear.

Im currently Saving for my Set up. Going With Mag Watanabe's 16x8 +15 Fronts 16x8 +5 Rear.
215/45/16 F 225/50/16 R > Fender rolling im sure in the front and maybe in the rear. Ive seen My freinds Fc with Fd rims and a 25mm spacer. He had no roll and its looked good.
I believe on trail and error. I Will make these fit, weather rolling, pulling, playing with camber, spacers, whatever is required. Ive seen more aggresive fitmets, Best thing of all... rims only weigh 12 pounds!

No, that's a 16x8 0 offset.
I'm trying to get a 17x9.5 +15 to fit in it's place without running the inside rim lip into the lower control arm..... I think i might get a 10mil up front. I've seen people fit 17x9 0 offest but wasn't sure about the lca clearance with an angle kit.

I was hoping to massage my 10.5 +18's up front on my fc now that the motor went on my 8 but it looks like that won't be happening any time soon, now that I see the inner clearance issues! It would take roughly a 20mm spacer which would look silly What a shame...

hahah tilt same here man ive been doing all these calculations in my head but i guess i cant run the spec i wanted unless i get wider fronts, and all i want is a roll and pull maybe a flare :[
#4449
IMHO those Kais would look better. I've always been a fan of one piece racing wheels though, hence my opinion.
#4450
Well, it looks like I'm just going to say screw it and pick up some wide fenders and fit the 18x10.5 +18 CE's.
Currently, it looks like I'm going to snag some 20mm and go from there. I'm excited to see this happen :
