Quick rim fitment question

Assuming a stock 1995 rx-7
stock brakes and stock suspension

will the following rims fit well?

5x114.3 bolt pattern

18x7.5 +42
18x8.0 +32
18x8.0 +42

Now i know i only need 4 rims but this is a package deal. I will assume the +42 18x7.5" rims will clear the fronts, but will the rears fit flush? I have no choice but to purchase 6 rims, i will hold the other 2 to the side for track tires, or as future replacements.


Any rim information as to fitment in this instance would be MUCH appreciated.

Hm....they'll fit (well the 18x8 +32 should only go at the rear) but they are too skinny. The stock wheels are 8" wide, you do not want to go skinnier or maintain the same width when going to 18" diameter.

Buy some proper wheels. It's not a bargain just because they're cheap.

its not a bargain because they are cheap... it is a bargain because they are an out of production wheel! I have been searching for a little over 6 months now for this particular style and these just came up! Please understand that these wheels/tires will see little to no track use! I have a seprate set for track use, these are simply cosmetic upgrades in every sence of the word. They will probably be rapped in hankook ventus tires with a rock like tread rating!
