I was thinking of picking up some rims later on from a friend. 9s in the front and 9.5s in there rear. I believe the offset is +25? Would I have to flare fenders, or could I just get them rolled? I would run atleast 275s in the rear; Since nitto doesn't make 285 555r(s). I'm not to crazy about have big tires in the front.

 

Im pretty sure you'd need flares if you went with 275's. And the front you would need flares too, or you'll be rubbing everytime you try and turn.

 

13Bace ran 285s with just rolled fenders. I was thinking something like 235s up front with rolled fenders.. What would be the correct size tire patch for those rims? I don't want to be stretching tires on the front..

 

he only ran those on the rear

 

go talk to bkapold@aol.com or raising arizona (he uses both handles over at rx7club.com)



he runs 235/40/17 and 275/xx/17 on the rears on enkei RPF1 + 35 mm front +38 mm rear with 17x8.5 fronta nd 17.9.5 rear

 

How do you measure rim width? From what point on the rim to what point?

 

what do u mean? I think it's lip to lip.
