rx8 rims on a rx7 fd

[playtime]

Hi. Was looking through the pics of the FDs there, but dont see any with rx8 rims (the slightly angled 5 spoke 18" versions). Has anyone got any pics of these on a FD, as Ive been offered a set worth the money, but not sure if they would suit. Cheers in advance :rolleyes:

There are a few running about on them, I believe it\'s a straightforward swap.  See 1 minute into this video.

I had them on mine, do I recommend them? Hmm...

No. No. No no no no no no no no. Just no.

Offsets are too weak and they\'re narrower than the standard 16" wheels, will really spoil the handling. But anyway, pics:





And now the same car with proper wheels:

Cheers fdash. Think ill skip on them lol. I picked up 7x17s this morning with et42 and they were even worse than the std 16s. Think its going to have to be 8.5x 18s at the very least with et35, but seem to be very rare, 2nd hand, over here
 
PS FDash, what size and et are you running with the new rims? Fill the arches really well

I\'ve got 18x8.5" ET30 with 225/40s on the front and 18x9.5" ET30 with 255/35s on the rear. No spacers, no rubbing, no tramlining, all good. :Thumbs-up

What width of rim was she lad?

[AtomicRex]

8.5J on the front and 9J on the rear

[Rotormotor]

Ash, are you able to fit those 9.5\'s on the front?
Lookin at getin some new rims and was wondering if I could go 9.5\'s all round.
Thanks
Chris

et10-15 in a 9j/10j is what you want.
 
on 17" i have et15 8.5j in front, et12 9j rear. it\'s not that aggressive and i didn\'t have to do anything to the arches, although they do rub slightly :rolleyes:
