Title: 7.5\'s on a Rx7??
Post by: streetdragster on July 27, 2003, 07:37:48 PM
Is it wise to fit a set of 18\'s that are 18x7.5 on a rx7 or does it need wider rims??

if so can anyone suggest any wheels that are Wolfrace Mantis style (Shadow Chrome) in a wider rim?

Thanks

Matt

7.5" is to small for an FD. You should get at least 8.0" or greater.  Never heard of the wheels you are speeking of ? Sorry. I hope to be purchasing 18 x 8.5 in the front and 18 X 9.5 in the rear in the near future. Just having trouble getting the ones I like to Denmark.

Nice wheels!
I have 18s on mine when it arrives, was checking out tyre prices, not cheap huh!  Especially seeing as I run 225 x 40 x 17 on my car now.
