Offset - RX7 FC3s (1990)

I’ve been skeptical on running staggered on my FC, 17x8 with +30 offset for the fronts, and a 17x9 with +5 offset. I’m skeptical about the rears with the low of an offset, I know I’d have to probably roll the fenders. I was wondering if that offset is to low for the car or would I be better off running squared with the 17x8 +30 all around?

thank you

Depends on how low you run the car and what tires. You’d likely have to roll the rear fenders. If you run a good size tire, not some stretched out tire I would not bother.

I was probably gonna run 245 or 255 for the 17x9 for the rears and 225 for the 17x8 for the fronts. I’m running on stock suspension, until my BC coilovers come in. I’m gonna lower it depending on the fitment of the wheels.

You want to stay with +30 or at most -+24 offset for 17X9s with those tires in the back. it will look perfect.

I ran 17X9 +24 all around on 255/40/17s all around for years.
