Hi! please dont be too mean i am a deployed soldier and new to the rx-7 and im having a hard time with my rim purchase. Im looking at the xxr 526, fronts will be 18x9 with +25mm offset and 5.98" backspacing and rears are gonna be 18x10.5 with +20 mm offset and 6.54" backspacing. I been trying to load the RX7club tire/rim calculator but will not load on government computers. All i want to make sure is that they will fit with no problems to the suspension, if i need to roll/pull the fenders it will be fine. Thank you

 

U ll need a lot of rolling... might look kinda funny on stock body

 

on the rear?

 

What size tires are you planning on running?

The rears will need a big pull and a major stretch to "fit" plus camber.

The fronts will need to be slightly pulled and the tires will need to be stretched as well camber would help as well.

They are not real good offsets for the FD if you want any type of a functional setup.

Also, dont put XXR wheels on your FD, it is better than that.

Edit: Is this even an FD? What chassis is this car?

 

ok guys well sorry about all this... i actually found this decent website rimsntires.com/specs and it really broke it down barney style for me, yea its a fd and i know its better than that. Kinda bored out here n seeing all that money is making me wanna buy dumb stuff. lol you guys should check out the site n see if its worth anything

 

for good fitment with minimal body work, i'd go 18x8.5" front and 18x9.5" rear with offsets in the 30's

 

Stock body FD, I'd want offsets more like +40.
FWIW, I'm running te37 17x8.5 +40, 17x9.5 +40 with 255/40-17, 265/40-17. The fronts rubbed and tweaked a small part of the wheel lip. Rear lips are rolled, no rub.
Also running PF01 17x8.5 +40, 18x9.5 +45 with 245/40-17, 275/35-18, no rubbing.

 

ok so what about 18x9 +38 all around? how does that look? like i mentioned sorry just hard to figure this out on government computers

 

I think that18x9 +38 should be fine with 245/35-18 fronts, 265/35-18 rears. Might need some camber. With rolled fenders, 255 front 275 rears should be no problem.

 

My rear is 18x10.5 +18 and looks about right with the feed quarter panels (wider 25mm I believe) so can get an idea on the stock quarter panels

 

I'm running 9" and 45mm up front with 255 tires and cant see running less than 40mm w/o being a real issue. 9.5" and 38mm with 275's and thats a good fitment and shouldnt be an issue unless you lower your car too much.

thank you guys so much!

 

depends on what you're trying to do with your car. you could do 10.5 in the rear with +20 offset with just a roll. you would have to stretch your tires for it to work though. everything should fit with a 245/40/18. if you're planning on going to the track or doing autocross, you should listen to what everyone else in this thread told you.
