Title: Would these do my REX?
Post by: Brainfire on May 06, 2006, 08:10:37 PM
Seen some what I consider nice alloys that supposedly fit my RX7 - offset, etc, as follows:

HOLES:    5    OFFSET:     42    PCD:     110/114.3
SIZE:    17x7.5    FINISH:     Gunmetal with Polish Lip

Would these fit, and if so, what size of tyres would I need for them?

Too narrow IMHO, at leat 8 or 8,5 on front to fit 235\'s and 9 to 10\'s on rear to fit 265\'s

Excuse my daftness, but aren\'t wheels always sold in sets of four the same size, or is it possible to do a pick n\' mix as regards width?

Some wheels are mate, like the standard rx7 wheels, they are four 225\'s making them 8 inches. But alot of aftermarket sets are wider at the back, some folk are running 10\'s on the back and bigger :D , but i would have to agree and i have been told the same about the widths that 7.5 is to small for the fronts, as i found some nice enkei mitsi evo wheels but they were the same, to small :3Confused

Bugga. I knew it was too good to be true... I thought they were really nice as well. Have a look (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8060987121&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1) and see what you think.

While I\'m here... I\'ve got Tein coil over suspension fitted, but don\'t have the thingummyjig key to slacken/tighten the adjusters on it - does anyone know where I\'ll get one from??

and 18" 9 wide ofset +38 front with  245 40 tires fit a fd3s.

Best regards,
