Ask Rishie. He's the RX-7 wheel guru.

only the concave spoke emo's look good. The flat face ones look horrible. Im not sure about 17's but in 18's all 9.5" are concave spokes. I may be ordering a set of 18x9.5+38 and 18x9.5+30 for my fd.

18x8.5 37mm offset IIRC 235/40/18
18x9.5 38mm offset IIRC 265/35/18

You don't want to go too low or the tire will catch the front fender lip.

Hey so the red one is ur fd?
thats how it will look with 18x8.5 front?
the rear wheels look sooo much nicer.

I am struggling in finding the best size width and offset for work emotion cr kai on fd.

For that wheel, I see two fitment options:

a) 17x9, +44 all around with 255/40 17s

b) 18x8.5, 18x9.5 +38 with 245/35 and 265/35, front fender rolling would be recommended
