Arrgh, sexiest wheel ever. Pity they cost the earth here in the UK.

 

You need to add the sidewall height twice. You've measured from the ground to the top of the wheel.

225/50-16 = 24.86" (stock)
235/40-17 = 24.40"
235/45-17 = 25.33"

Sorry I'm a week late here, but someone might find this in a search later, so...

 

Ahh right you are. I wasn't exactly sure how to measure it, but either way the mistake was made in each case so it turned out pretty much the same.

Thanks,

Hulan

 

Order them here and have them shipped over...shouldn't be that much more cost.

 

is it true that you can fit stoptechs with 17's?
i purchased a set of rpf1's in 18 inches just to be safe and my stoptechs have barely any clearance

 

Just to give you an idea, There is about a 2 & 1/2 inch gap between my stock calipers and the inside of the spokes on this size wheel 17x8 +35. What size and offset 18's did you get?

I can take a picture of the gap if you need when I get back home.

 

17x8.5 +40 fits stoptechs.

17x9 +45 does not fit stoptechs.

Read my thread https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/maximum-wheel-tire-width-fitment-guide-fd-892901/

 

ill post pics of my 18x8 and 18x9.5 flat black sometime next week, i have a 30 offset for the front and 15 offset for the rear

 

this is 18x9.5 all around 38 offset front 15 rear...

anyone know how i can make the pic bigger?

 

wowww that fitment is killer! what size tires are you running? i assume u just did a roll? or pull required?

 

Roll and pull in rear, front just looks cambered.

Tires look like they would be 255/35 honestly. If you stretch you won't have to worry about pulling the rear so much.

Some pics after a quick bath, 18x9.5 +45 and 18x10 +38 (thanks Rishie ) with Yoko AD08 255/35 and 265/35. You can see the difference between the convex and concave face on my fronts. Zero fender mods, so far as good after about 8 Dragon's Tail runs and two road race track days

Edit: you'll notice the ride height isn't slammed, with the roads here in NJ I've found it necessary to raise the car a bit. I'm sure this has contributed to my lack of fitment problems

 

Couple more.....

 

You have perfect ride height Rich. I like it.

The faces and lip should be exactly the same on anything 9" and wider. Regardless of diameter.

You will only see convex in 8.5" and thinner.

I have that fitment in stock in silver.

18x9.5 +38 and +15. Ready to go.

I also have PF01 9.5 +45 and 18x10.5 +38.

 

17x10 et 38 up front anyone done that? with a roll and a medium stretch tire?

 

I could answer your question, but instead i have a different one for you:

Have you taken a look at what I posted in the other thread in this section, where you and Natey went at it? I'd like to get your reaction on it, unless you just don't give a damn.

 

Or run same wheel size as Rich but a 295/30-18 like me in the rear...

 

im still working on my responce.

 

did you roll/pull the fender? if so how much? more pics plz!!

 

So this is getting a 7 year bump I guess. My FD has the D2 brake kit 356mm and it's currently on 18x9.5 et30 Japan Racing JR11 wheels.They are deep concave shitty weds knockoffs but they clear the big brakes leaving a lot of space.
I have ordered a set of RPF1s with the front ones being 18x9 et35. Do you think these will clear them?

 

They should clear. I would have suggested the RPF1 18x9.5 +45 offset. Those are known to clear the Stoptech kit for the FD as I've done it many times. If you compare the stoptech template to your D2 template you can get a good relative comparison. The 9.5 +45 would have been less aggressive and given a wider footprint vs the 9 +35. I run 255/35/18 all around with that setup. Minor tab bending of the fender liner tab up front but that's it. The 9 +35 might require a little more.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way since every wheel has a different spoke architecture. The way I advised to check fitment is the best way.
