Question about Roja R2-5 wheels... please help.

I'm thinking about purchasing these wheels from a local company here in the Bay Area and I was just wondering if they would fit well in my FD.

The size up front would be 18x8 +37

The size in the rear would 18x10 +40

I got these sizes from it's application guide off the rojawheels.com website, stating these fitments for a Rx-8 and Rx-7. Just a thought, but would I need to roll the wheels wells in order for clearance and rubbing issues? I'm pretty new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys...


Here's a picture of the wheels...

Front wheel should be fine, you'll have to roll the rear fender lips a bit though.

I have the original Volk Racing version of this wheel - Gram Lights 57F-Pro. I have 18x8 +37 Front and 18x9 +40 Rear and fit perfect.

I was so upset that Roja purchase the license to sell this wheel in US since Roja wheels are usually low-end china made wheels.

Anyway, I think I got one of the rare set of Gram Lights 57F-Pro in USA.
