Question RP03 for my 95 RX7

I'm looking at a set of RP03 for my 95 RX7. I'm looking to fill up the wheel well. probaby going to go with 18 all around with 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. I've got stock suspension. Any forseen problems? could i go wider either in the front or rear and still be OK?

The only BIG problem I see is that Enkei has not brought in the

18x8.5 +40 offset.

They only have the +30 offset which is more common to the EVO8.

the 18x9.5 +38 is in stock but the front will require a major fender modification.

Just a heads up.

I CAN HOWEVER GET YOU A 18X8 +40 AND 18X9.5 +38. You can run 235/40 and 265/35/18.

Will that setup require fender mods and do i have to run different aspect ratio's. Can i go with 35's all around or 40's all around?

The aspect ratio is a just part of a function--multiply the width in mm's by the aspect ratio (as a percent) in order to find sidewall height. ie:

Front 235*0.40=94mm
Rear 265*0.35=92.75mm

So you can see the rolling diameter will be almost identical front to rear, and almost the same as stock.

It also should not require fender rolling with those offsets.
