Your wheels are HOT! What sizes for the wheels and tires please
Front: 18x8.5 +40mm, Falken FK451 225/40
Rear: 18x9.5 + 34mm, Falken FK451 255/35
Wanted to keep the diameter as close to stock as possible. Used to use 235/40 in the front and they always rubbed a little with my old O.Z. rims.

I've got 235/40ZR18 in front on mine and they rub when I go up on my driveway. The rears are 265/35ZR18 and they have no clearance problems. My car is really really lowered though.
As far as the pic is concerned, its WAY TOO FRICKIN BIG!!! Can anybody shrink it or host it for me? The file size is 1.29MB and I do not have any programs that will compress it where I am at. If you can do something, email me at cavinbl1839@smail07.cnet.navy.mil . As soon as I get a smaller version of it, I will post it, so keep checking back.

I'm thinking 265/35-18 front and 295/30-18 rear?

Here's the sizes available, less sizes for the diamond cut lip model (LE28) than the regular CE28N:

No +44mm for rear, no +47mm for front unless you go with a solid color. Then you get +47 front and +45 rear: http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...odelName=CE28N

Manny,
they have the 18" CE28n with 10.5 in the rear 45+ offset.
9.5 47+ offset for front with the star "*" to denote that it will clear the RX-7 big brake calipers....
won't that fit??? I have after market trailing arms and coilovers.
Also, what option do you have to specify to get the spokes to "reverse bow" like that? Lower pad height???
I might have to order these...someone photoshop the above car to IBM please

The rims just bow like that the way they come. That's the style. It seems like a lot of people are interested in my pic. I sent it out to everybody who asked, so whenever they shrink it and send it back or if they post it themselves, you all will be able to see it. The pic has the rims, but my car now has the rotaryextreme feed carbon fiber side skirts on it. Also, please dont ask about the cop car in the pic (everybody does). It just HAPPENED to be behind my car when I took the pic. Hopefully I'll have it up soon...

see how the rear of these reverse bow? But the other pics of the CE28n look flatter faced?
I was just wondering how to make sure to get that effect....

It hits when I go up on a driveway or something. I had to roll the fenders. I'm going to be moving the battery to the hatch area so maybe that will help a bit too, since its the left side that rubs the most. Its not a real big problem though. Potholes suck a lot more.

The 10.5 x 18, 45-mm offset with 295/30-18s should work in back without M2 trailing arms. You might need to roll your rear fender lips with 295/30-18. Narrower 285/30-18 or 275/35-18 tires shouldn't require rear fender lip rolling with 10.5 x 18, 45-mm offset CE28N.
The reverse bow comes from low offset and pad height choice. Usually only the rears can have that look (Rx7 RAGE's rears). The 9.5 x 18, 47-mm offset don't bow like that. Check Cossie's car (he has that size all around with 265/35-18 on his white FD).
Nuke and Crazy, do you think we can get those cool "VR" center caps for the sweet LE28Ns mounted on the "plain-vanilla" CE28Ns??

I've got Eibach springs on my car. I think its the pro kit. The last owner installed them, along with most of the other suspension stuff. I'm running 235/40ZR18 up front and 265/35/ZR18 in the rear. I'm not sure about offset, I could ask Ashraf to look for me because he has my car right now.
About the center cap thing, I guess I'd be willing to trade somebody the center caps if they had one that I though was just as nice or nicer looking. I haven't seen any of the other center caps that volk makes.
I love the red fd's too. I wouldnt choose any other color. I cant wait to get my feed type II front bumper on there though. The 99 combos look so awesome. I do with the red was a bit darker though.

Hmm, howard coleman thought Eibach Pro Kit springs would work well. I'm surprised you're getting some rubbing. According to howard coleman, the Eibachs should be a conservative drop with about 350 lb/in spring compression rate? I have H&Rs. Perhaps the H&Rs are stiffer in spring rate after all, since I've had no rubbing problems with 9 x 17, 45-mm offset with 255/40-17, nor with 9.5 x 17 Pirelli P6000s, 42-mm offset with 275/40-17 Hoosier R3S03s up front?
