Wheel Fitment Help

Im looking to purchase RPF1's. Someone has a set, its a square set up I just want to know if theyll be okay for the front.

Specs: 18x9.5 +38 all around with 265/35/18

Suspension: Tein Coilovers

I have rolled fenders as well and pulled in the back. The front isnt pulled.

Let me know if youll think they will fit okay. Thank you

Edit: 94 RX7 FD

The 265s will fit with the +38 up front with rolled fenders only if you about max the front camber (-2 to -2.4 degrees necessary).

I ran 265s on +38 offset up front prior to my current set-up.

The eccentric bolts for camber are on the front subframe.

You have to rotate those so the arms are the longest and then correct your toe on the steering arms. Easiest to have an alignment shop do it.

That much negative camber is great for racing, but wears your front inner tires on the street.

I had the 265mm wide tire with +38 offset on an 18x10.5 wheel so the wheel looks more aggressive than the 18x9.5 +38 will, but the tires will be in the exact same spot.

Thanks BLUE TII great help man! Would another way of solving this be pulling the front fenders?

Yes, you can try to pull the front as well. Mount them up to see how much you need 1st.
