Hi just purchased some wheels cheap for my RX7 (FD3S) Advan racing TCii

Fronts 18" 8.5j offset 32
Rear 18" 9.5 j offset 35

I dont want no arch problems , car is on standard suspension, someone please tell me
what tyres to buy.
Thanks

Offset has noting to do with Tire (Tyre) Size
I have similar wheel sizes on my car but my offset is ET38
I run a 235/40 18 up front and a 265/35 18 in the rear.
Offset might just be a tad agressive, but i think you will be fine
Have you mounted the rims yet? Just to be sure. Maybe mount them and use some 2x4s (wrap them with a drop cloth so they dont scratch the rims) to put on the floor when you slowly lower the car. That way you can see how they fit w/o putting on a tyre.
Ive used this page to do my research on rims.

Thankyou so much,,, front yires are currently 245/ 40 18
rears are 255/35/18
rears look ok but front looks like there may be clearance problems,, i just wanted the best tire with no clearance problems.
