Wheel fitment advice please

[D2BBA]

Hi guys,

I\'m trying to locate some cheap but nice wheels for my \'93.

I am looking for 18\'s, but keeping it as wide as possible with standard arches.

It seems as if wheels are a hell of a lot cheaper in the US of A via ebay, even with the shipping in.

Can any one tell me if the following will fit:

8.5 x 18 on front
9.5 x 18 on rear
5X114.3 bolt pattern with a 20 mm front offset and a 25 mm rear offset

Also has anyone bought from the states and had any positive / negative experiences?

Thanks guys

Hi Chris, yep those wheel widths will fit not so sure about the offsets. But with any luck someone else can help out there. If no response I can dig out my original invoice and check offsets for you.
I bought my wheels from  //www.bigwheels.net  they are in America and their customer service was first class, always replied too my emails and where good on the phone as well.
Have a look at their website you can pump in the car details and it works out all the wheels available for the RX7, and also takes in account staggered fitments.

Hope this helps cheers Leigh.

You may have a bit of bother with the outside of the tyres rubbing the arches, especially at the back.

That kind of offset will make the wheels stick out more than usual.

Hmmm,

This is a puzzler, should I just look for a lower offset do you think?  I\'ve got coil-overs but dont really want to have to raise the suspension too much.  I could roll the rear arches, however the front are FRP and may catch?

What off-set do you guys use?


Sorry bout all these questions!!
