what are all you guys runnin on your FD? pics would be nice? thanks

Impossible to answer your question, do some searching around!

*what is your real budget for just wheels?
*what kind of styles do you like (5-spoke, mesh, etc)
*what do you use the car for?
*stock body? suspension mods?

jwilson

ok cool...well i love meshes and 5 spokes...so one of those options...the car is just a car to drive around on weekends and to work....or whenever i feel..nothin crazy...the budget doesnt matter...i dont have a budget on it. i will do some searching...thanks oh yeah and stock body...no suspension...yet that is...in a month or so should be getting a suspension setup

rynberg

No budget is not a realistic answer....unless you can really afford and are willing to spend $6k on a set of wheels.

Wait on the wheels until you get the suspension, you'll probably have more options once you have the suspension all done. Coilovers?

jwilson

well true my budget would probably be around 2,500 or a lil more...
yeah i plan on doing some coilovers...searchin the whole suspension as we speek..lol

IMO, 17" is still the sweet spot for the RX7. If you are looking for 10" in the rear (regardless of diameter), I would suggest an offset of +45 to +50.

I currently have two sets of aftermarket wheels:

1. 17x9 +43 (all 4)
2. 17x9F & 17x10R (+47 all 4)

awesome..thanks man..looks good..
ok so now is it the more posative the offset the bigger the lip will be?
say i have a +35 in the front and +45 in the rear will the rear have a lot larger lip?

akaRobbyStyle

no, lower the number on offsets, the bigger the lip/dish... unless the number has a - in front of it which makes it less than zero... remember the number line in math? works like that. its all relatively simple once you get into it.

It mostly depends on the wheel style and build (i.e. 1, 2 or 3 piece). In general, the lower the offset the more lip the wheel can have. The rear of the car can take a lower offset than the front. So in general if you wanted to run a staggered type of setup, you would have a "higher" offset up front than the rear.

Lower offset means the wheel is moved further out towards the fender. Higher offset means into the center of the car more. The stock FD wheels are a +50 offset for reference.

not necessarily, on my advan sienna generation II's I have a 5 inch lip on a +46 offset.
