They are 255 front and rear.

Errrm, it's certainly an acquired taste. It's pretty clever how they managed to fail to match any of the lines on the FD. At all. It looks a lot better in real life FWIW.

I think they look pretty much just like the FS-6 though haha. But he said in 6-8 months they can cut the faces exactly the way I want. I like these, but I wanted them more concave and not convex like this.

IIRC the sizes are 18x9.5 +17? front and 18x10.5 +12? rear. Those are my offsets right now with the TM02s with spacers so I figured I'd stick with the same but without spacers and a good size lip.

Speaking of which, here are a couple pics from the meet Friday night.



Spent two hours that day cleaning the car, wheels, just short of a full detail...only for it to rain at the end of the night lol.
I really like the wheels and stance on this.

^Funny you say that, because although most people said it reminds them of the Batmobile, someone mentioned Darth Vader once LOL.

Mine are 18x9.5 et27 front (255 tire) and 18x10.5 et 30 rear (285 tire). I raised the rear up a full inch (now sits at 26" from ground to fender) but will need to raise the front a 1/2" after doing a track event a couple weeks back. In regards to rubbing, I had to roll the fronts and rears flat. I eventually want to have my rear fenders pulled like SpeedJunkie's car and run the Feed front fenders.

I have new wheels for my car and no idea what tires size I should get for them. They are the Mazdaspeed MS02 wheels. Here is a picture of them on a car. Obviously I cant zoom in close enough to see the size he is using. But Id like them to fit like this.

The size is 17x8 front 17x9 rear.

Not sure how to post pics, but here's a hyperlink to pics of my car on Wheeldude:

Rota G-Force wheels on 1994 Mazda RX7| WHEELDUDE.COM

I'm running Rota 18x9 G Force.

I had some rubbing on the back right tire, so I ended up putting on Apexi coilovers. What a huge difference the coilovers make for handling!

I wish people would do research before stating outrage junk that makes no sense what so ever. seriously.. 8.5/9.5 .. aggressive? if faith wasnt lost before..it sure as hell is now.


do you have a pic with the front fenders on?
