do you have wide body front fenders? that's the only way they're fitting unless you put like 205s or something on them.

are you running coilovers up front?

it's going to be tight... you might need some spacers.

I'm running 17x8 +30s up front with 245s and they're pretty tight

EDIT: I did my math wrong... you should be fine if you have wider fenders. What tires are you running, 275s?

why are you running wheels so big if you're running such a small tire...? and that tire is also going to be way shorter than stock...

with enough camber and depending on tire size... you can still fit those easy

does "lol" really count?

eage8.... stop trolling. the fact is there are way more drift oriented rx7's than track, as reflected on the interwebs. i personally am track only, but you wont find me talking **** about stretched tires or whatever else. its just car people doing car things.

I hardly count that as trolling... if you want a non-standard wheel fitment you should specify that before you ask if something fits.

ya,i was stuck in the same problem,18's are stupid money for the 1 inch difference,so i figured the PBM coils would help me fix that gap pretty easily.17's come on almost every car in production as of now,so obviously demand went up,supply went up,price went down
