Will 17X9.5 +30MM fit on fd ? yes I searched

Yes I did do a search and looked at the wheel fit calculator but still can't figure it out lol.. I have a chance to get a set of ROTA PR45 in this size with tires for a good deal but I want to know if they will fit on the car ?

I am willing to roll the stock fenders and I know these are not ideal but the price is almost too good to pass up.

I am located in canada and will be traveling to the states to get these so I really only have one shot.

I am mainly concerned about them fitting on the front.
Thanks guys.

Rears will fit with a normal size tire (255) and a good roll, but in the front that offset is not too friendly. Itll "work" with a smaller tire and some aggressive fender work, but its not ideal.

Thanks, that fronts are what is killing me, from the calculator it gives me -0.57 in for clearance up front which I am assuming I would have to roll the front fenders out 0.57 inches to have clearance.

This isnt exactly what you are asking obviously, but here is a member running 9.5 +38 up front, and even at that he is stretching a 225 on it to assure clearance. Yours will be 8mm further outboard, but should still be ok with a 225. Might need to play with alignment/camber settings. IMO unless you really love that look or the wheels, Id pass for something that fits and you can run a good size tire on.

That's the plan, ill probably pass lol. Rx7s especially FD seem to an odd car to find rims and tires for.. I am from the land of DSMs so pretty much anything would fit them as long as it was the right bolt pattern lol. Thanks for the advice... any suggestion on offset for 17x9 ish rims... I don't mind stagering them. Was thinking 17x8 or 9 up front and the widest 17x X I can fit in the back. The look I want is for the rims face to be pretty flush with the fender... just look good and be functional
