You will need to space out the front wheel > 21mm to clear suspension components, then it will work with a fender roll and camber. The rears may need a 5mm spacer if the tire makes contact with the trailing arm. You can run a 255/40/17 in the front and 275/40/17 in the rear - might have to trim your exhaust heat shields since the tire may rub on them under hard cornering. You may have to secure the exhaust muffler tighter than usual to keep it from swaying into the tire as well.

 

What a sick stance!!!!

 

The above is right, however you may need overfenders in the front. I am running 17 x 9 +22 fronts with a shine 25mm overfender on 245/45/17, and it fits nicely. Before the wide fenders it stuck out a fair ways past stock.

The rears may also need to be shimmed out, I'm not sure about the size of the Stance coilovers and what kind of clearance you will have, but on stock suspension my 17 x 10 +18's fit with not much room to play, and only needed minor fender rolling in the rear with 275/40/17's. If you have the choice, I would opt for the +18 rears, otherwise just get a set of ~20mm spacers for all 4 wheels.

Edit: You should get ahold of Rishi at Auto RnD (forum name ARD_T2) he gave me a good hookup on my white RPF1's, that way you can get the offset you want.

 

Here's an example:

Stock fenders, 17x9 +20, 255/40/17

Rolled and pulled, of course



If you don't want to mess with the stock fenders, then yes - the shine's will work

 

Hey Ted. If you see this i would definitely appreciate the reply.

Sorry if this has been covered but there are soo many pages. I read through about 50 pages hoping to see the size and offset i might make a purchase on.

Im looking at,

17x8 +35 front
17x9 +42 back

Will this be a good fit?

If they will fit what tire sizes should i run.

I have stock suspension as of now but when i put these on i will have tokico hp blue's with tanabe gf210s.

Thanks before hand to anyone who has the answers to these questions.
=)

 

Hey guys, Im just starting to learn how much goes into wheels and tires lol. My question. I want to run 17x9 in the front with 245/40/17. with 30mm wide fenders what offset would i need to make this work? I have tein superdrift coilovers also. In the rear i want to run 265/40/17. what width and offset would i need for that?

 

+10-20ish will do it in the front. for the rear, +30-40

 

Unlevel driveway, and non of the fenders are rolled. Actually the rear tires are sitting on the quarters

17x9 +0 offset, no spacers

I've been looking for some cheap mesh wheels in a decent offset recently without much luck, but I came across some FC's rocking Crown Vic wheels in the FC pic thread. Intrigued, I scoured ebay and found these for dirt cheap.

About to pull the trigger, but this is the first set of wheels I'm buying for the car, and I just want to make sure there will be absolutely no fitment issues. Also, what would be a good tire size? I was thinking something like 205/50/16. Does that sound about right? Or should I go for a larger sidewall?

Here are the wheels: http://tinyurl.com/47x3bmy

 

I'd go with 205/55/16 if you can, its a more common tire size

 

Will these cobra replica wheels fit its 17x9 24mm offset and you can choose on the rear 17x10.5 20 or 27mm offset. What would be better if they fit?

 

R:17x10 Et20 F:17x9 Et24 (not mine)

 

are those cobra replicas?

 

Yes

 

so the 17x9 24mm offset does fit up front? and what should i get for the 10.5's in the back should i get the 20mm or 27mm? I have extended lug studs and can get spacers if i need them. Also i have mazdatrix angle kit and pbm modded knuckles up front you think a 9 inch wheel up front will clear the sway bar and everything at full lock? Could i just hammer in the wheel well a little bit? also i am stretching the tires on them to save some room and for drifting it is an all out drift car just ready to finally have some wide wheels just dont know how wide is too wide

 

after hours of searching i have found that they do fit here is the link if anyone is interested in doing it these mustang wheels are pretty lame but same size and offset as the ones i want https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/17x9-10-5-fr500-mustang-wheels-639630/ . If anyone has any ideas on 9 inches with the insane steering angle let me know

 

18x10 +20 w 245/40's out back no roll, nor pull.





i was scared to go lower the first day, but yesterday i did a bit of road testing and the wheels can tuck fine without scraping. the front.... well, that isnt going to work out with the setup i have.

but i am trying to test the limits of stock metal with little to no fender work.

 

Your gonna hit and rub everywhere if you get modded spindles/knuckles. You might as well get wide fenders and negative offset wheels and call it done.

 

17x10 +18 rpf1 in front? what will be needed just found a killer deal on a full set in this size I already have JIC coilovers

what size tire to run stretched and fit in the front on a stock fender? or is a wider fender absolutly needed

 

The 17 x 10 +18 in the front will definitely need an overfender. The lip will be outwards over 2.5" more than stock wheels. You will have 117mm overhang from wheel centerline vs. 48.9mm stock.

Just for reference, this is a picture when I was still on stock fenders with 17 x 9 +22 RPF-1's in front, riding on 245/45/17. My front wheels have 92.3mm overhang.

 

you can probably get 235 (or smaller) under stock fenders with a good roll and lots of camber. guys run 17x9 +24 all the time, the rpf1 will only stick out another 6mm.
i run 17x10 rpf1's with 255's and a little bit of spacer under corksport fenders

 

Edit: Oops, misread the numbers. The 17 x 10 +18's will stick out 18.7mm further than the 17x9 +24's.

What offset are your 17 x 10's, and you are talking fronts right? Because my 17 x 9 + 22 fronts with 245's and no spacer fit nicely inside a corksport fender, although I'm not after a stretched, high camber, barely clearing the fender look...

 

looking for help from the hellaflush/streched tyres/ rail scraping rx7 community. im thinking of finally getting a new set of wheels for my fc. specs are as follows

front- i have a few options which are 18x9.5 +12, +15 or +22
rear- 18x10.5 +0, +12, +15 or +22 again.

for the front i have shine autos fenders which i think are 25mm to 30mm (going off looks as ive never actually measured them). For the rears i will be getting 30mm msports overfenders. car will be sitting on bc racing coilovers.

im thinking of going 18x9.5 +15 in the front and 18x10.5 +0 in the back.

would this be possible to squeeze under the front and rear guards with those offsets without rubbing on the struts- especially in the front. would full lock steering be effected at all? i want to go as aggressive as possible, just need some advice to make it happen!

cheers, my first post by the way!

 

go with the lowest offset and you'll have zero issues rubbing on suspension components.

I can't offer any advice on lock to lock clearance if you have an angle kit installed, since I've never done it. Good luck!

 

hows it going guys?!?! i just bought 4 enkei RPF-1's 17x9.5+38 probably guna wear 235/40/17 for the front and 255/40/17 for the rear (unless you guys have a better suggestion on tire size). just wanted to see what you guys think for what wheel spacers to get to clear the suspension for front n rear. then of course ima need to do a slight roll/pull over stock fenders... let me know what ya think, thanks

p.s.- im on silk coilovers
