I have a set of Stern ST7 Wheels that i bought from ebay.

these are 18X8.5 front with a 35 offset and 235 40 18 tires

rear is 18X9.5 with 35 offset and 265 35 18,

is it okay? will it fit good?

Won't fit. Backs maybe. Wait for SpeedKing or someone else to verify.

 

Yep, yep. Wheels no workie.

 

hmm...perhaps you should have asked BEFORE buying them? No, they will not fit.

 

****

 

there's no way it can be fit??

 

The rears may fit by rolling the fenders, the fronts may still rub even with rolled fenders. So, no, they do not fit.

 

Time to look into some fender flares budddddieeee

 

 

 

check out this post near the bottom. Red FD. https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/will-i-rub-18x8-5-rims-245-40-18-tires-386099/

it will fit.

 

No they will not. Rubbing at full turning lock (with little load on the suspension) is NOT fitting!

 

it should look nice if you roll the front and drop it, if thats any consolation. a little rubbing shouldnt make you wet your pants anyways...probably is a good idea to ask before you buy though, hope you got a good deal!

 

Yes. And keep in mind that every car is different and has its own suspension and tire setup.

"gambit023": Why don't you mention what springs/shocks you're running? It would a great reference point. What consolation would you have for someone that believes what you post, then proceeds to go and pull his fenders out?

 

i have koni yellow and eibach springs

 

I belive with the Eibach's you should have some rubbing issues; the spring rate in front isn't stiff enough. I haven't seen it personally but that's what everyone says. Rolled fenders and coilovers seem to be the answer. Good luck and i hope you find a solution.

 

thanks guys, Btw it is not for me, but for my dad, he bought these wheels on ebay and he thought it would fit. But, we'll make them fit

anyway, thanks a lot for your help.

Ok ... here are the details.

SUSPENSION:
Stock Shocks
Racing Beat Springs in the Front
H&R Sport Drops in the Rear (Don't ask me why)

WHEELS:
ADR M-Sport
18*8.5 Front +35 Offset
18*9.5 Rear +35 Offset

TIRES:
245/40/18 Front
265/35/18 Rear

Fenders were rolled with a baseball bat and heat gun. Rubbing? Yes. On full turns (e.g. tight parking lot turns) Rubbing while normal driving? No. Rubbing when hitting a pothole the size of someone's fat head: Yes

 

^^nice man, do you have any side shots or angled shots of your car.. i really like those rims..

 

Great recommendation! Rubbing on tight turns should be considered unacceptable! Why would you make such a rediculous sacrifice just to fit some heavy, poorly made wheels?

 

lolzzzz. You tell em Ryn. I concur.

 

That way is the bullshit way. Do it right - get wheels in the correct sizes w/ the proper offsets - no rubbing, no problems.

 

Let me clear things up here. You guys are bitching and moaning because of the rubbing. Well the rubbing occurs on the inner fender liner front on full turns. If you get a higher offset, which SpeedKing, ARD T2, and rynberg are indirectly suggesting, this will push the wheel further into the car. Thus, causing even more rubbing. So, take their advice and see what happens. I’m not saying that the +35 offset is the best in the word. But it works.

SpeedKing, ARD T2, and rynberg, you ******* need to pull the ****** out of your asses and move on in life. You **** little bitches.

 

Sounds like someone might have some attachment issues...

 

Nice, lets dis some of the most helpful members on this forum about something they know about.
