how it fits can depend on if you have adjustable coilovers.

hmm well im on stock suspension (for now) and im rollon 17x8 245 40's and you could fit more rubber under there... 17x7 225 45 's in the front and it works pretty good

It all depends on what size wheels you want to run and what size tires.



For rolling diameter, take the stock wheel/tire formula say its 205/55/16



205 x .55 x 2 / 25.4 + 16 = 24.87



So if you want something with similar rolling diameter try to formula on your shiat.



Normal offsets I see rx7's running around around the 30's for a 16x7 or 16x8 front, same for rear, stock is 16x7 +40 I believe, so go from there...Find some wheels you like, post the available sizes and offsets and what tires you want, im sure I or someone else can help you out.

I have tried 245/45/16 on front 16x8 + 30 offset.



The rears will pretty much take anytthging. the front is a different story. The perfect setup would be

15x8, 245 tire on front and 15x9 275 tire on back. But not many comparies make any wide sizes in small rim diameters

and if they do it would be 4 lug

My brother has a set of the 18 X 8 RX8 wheels on his TII with stock suspension. Looks good, but not great. In my opinion, I think they are a little too big (at least without some sort of body kit)

drftk1d 07-08-2005 11:16 PM

its just the design that makes them look large

get some 22" chromes with some 385s on that ****... or BFG mud terrains

how big you go all depends on the wheel back spack I have a 245/45r17 on rear with 95 acura nsx chrome wheels but i needed a 1" spacer i work at a tire store so it was easy for me! go get some help from a store but make sure you go to at least 4 sstores and price shope they will fight for the deal trust me! as\nd you will get the best price or may i suggest going on bigotires.com!
