Rota Grid on FD question

So i just bought a 1994 RX-7 R2 in a bright red paint job. i really love the look of the Rota Grid but am not sure what size/fitment to get.. i am new to this forum so please respond or point me in the direction i need to go to figure this out.. i want them to look as aggressive as possible without lowering the car..

-also if anyone has pics of the Grids on a FD PLEASE SHARE THEM..

As far as I can tell, the biggest Rota Grid is 17x7.5, which is more narrow than stock. My suggestion is to keep looking for something you like that is 8.5-9.5" wide.

This question would probably be best answered in the suspension/wheels section though.

They make Rota grid in a variety of offsets, colors, and sizes up to 17x9.5 for under $1,000.

Check here and remember you can always special order for additional lip or offset. It isn't that much extra either. I did it and got a really nice stance with the Rota Torque on my old Subaru. Usually those wheels are kind of boring but when you get the right combination it can turn out perfect.

See the attached PDF for sizing and offset info.

Why can't I find any info that says there is a grid bigger than 17x7.5 on Rota's website? Searching the webs, found the 18x9.5's, but I still can't find them on their website. I'm probably just blind today.

Rota doesn't do a very good job of listing all the wheel sizes available on their site.

Even when they have new models coming out you can find it on other sites before you see them on rotas site.
