So, I've been trying to find some wheels that are 17"s and 9 and 9.5 wide for my FD. Going by the info here I know my off sets are 44 and 38. The problem I'm running into is that everywhere I go or any web site I go to only has wheels that are 7.5in wide (which is skinnier than stock) or 8 (which is stock). I've checked Enki, Konig, TSW, Tire Rack, Americas Tire...
What brands are you guys using or where do you go to find wheels that are wider than stock?

 

Here's the big question...... what's your budget?

 

I guess you're right. Somewhere around 1k to 1.2K

 

Enkei RPF1 are great wheels. strong light and come in the widths and offsets that fit the FD.

if you roll your fenders you can run 255/40/17 17x10 rpf1 wheels +38mm offset. There is a set in the wheels for sale section for 800 shipped in this exact size.

 

We have a wheel and tire for sale section? Why have I never noticed this?!?!?! Problem solved, I'll probably find something there.

 

I sent you a PM the other night and linked you to a FS thread in that section

 

IMO, one of the best resources for wheels is Rishie at AutoRND. He knows RX7s, great prices and excellent service.

 

Those wheels aren't for sale! I bought them last saturday! Got a better deal than that picked up sorry for yelling lol just excited.

 

I clicked on the link but really didn't take that close of a look at it. OI guess I assuming it was in the 3rd gen for sale section..oops

 

Tried there, nothing came up under FD wheels.

 

Call or email them. Rishie is on the forum and is/was a vendor and owns RX7s.

 

^ Yep, bought many things from Rishie over the years. Unfortunately their website is kinda "meh", but if you know what you want just call and ask, and even if you dont just decrible what youre looking for and he will give you some options.

 

Still not finding anything.

 

Don't know what to tell you. There are many options out there, at your price point I'd recommend the Tire Rack. They have some decent wheels that should come in at or around what you're looking for

 

The problem with tire rack is I can't see the off sets. It seems according to that site I can only get wheels that are either 7.5 wide (smaller than stock) and 8 wide (stock).

 

Give them a call.

 

Figured out how that spreadsheet worked for figuring out FD clearances based on wheel size and off set. What I've learned is that all these web sites wont let you see tires that are over sized, which is frustrating. I do believe I've settled on Enkei Raijin 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with Hankook Ventus tires.

But you're right I have to call these web sites to get access to the sizes and off sets I want, I can't just do it on line

Download the size chart, 18x9.5s for the rear are only available in +15 or +35. +35 will work. Call up a wheel and Tire shop. They'll take care of you.

 

Yup, 18x8.5 +38 in the front 18/9.5 +35 in the rear.

Figured out how to use the spread sheet someone uploaded to the forums.
