Hi,

Am about to purchase new tire for my 1993 FD3S and I was wondering if these sizes would fit.

Wheels are 5zigen fn01r-c 17x10 +35 and 17x10 +25

Tires would be 255/40/17 in front and 275/40/17 for the rear.
Fenders are already rolled and pulled.

I tried using the spreadsheet but the zip file doesn't work.

Let me know what you guys think, would that setup fit or should I go for 4x 255/40/17.

Thanks.

 

That 'should' work as it is the exact setup I have except I'm running +35's in the rear. I say it should work because I'm running 275s in the rear, but I'm pretty sure 285s would fit no problem on +35 so you should be ok running 275s with a +25 offset. This is all provided you're not slamming the rx7 to the ground
If you want to get an idea of what height settings worked for me without rub you can check out my build thread:

Thanks for the info Lane, thats the look am looking for.

How are the NT555? I was looking to purchase those tires too.

Btw nice build, even tho am not a fan of the LSX I still appreciate a good build thread.

 

Thanks you. I'm the same way. A good build thread is a good read no matter what the car or engine choice is
As for the NT555's I can't really give a good answer on that. I've only put about 1k miles on my car so far and it's all been pretty leisurely driving as I've been tuning and troubleshooting the whole time. I also have traction control which has stayed on, so I haven't really tested to see how grippy they are without it.

They seem to be nice tires though. My friends rave on and on about them.
