Give them a call and they'll tell you the offset. Out of curiosity, I call them a few years back and nearly all the wheels they sell had offsets which are not too FD friendly.

if you select your car (93-95 mazda rx7) it will list the offsets for the wheels. i think they do staggered setups. i was on there last night browsing wheels and most of the combos were 8.5 front +35 and 9.5 rear +35

whats the correct offset for an 18x8 and 18x9 wheel? I found a set of staggered wheels where the 8" fronts have a 35mm and the 9" had a 45mm offset..is that somethign that will fit nice?

The problem is, "correct offset" has a different meaning to different people. The stock wheels are 16x8 +50. So you can use that as a reference. Typically, the rear wheels on the FD can take a lower offset than the fronts. I wouldn't recommend using a higher offset in the rear unless you are trying to fit a 10+ inch wheel back there.

ok I saw these AZA wheels on an RX8 and they looked AMAZING..im gonna call them to get the correct offset. What would be the perfect offset for an 18x9.5" rear and 8.5" front? (with stock fenders...rolled if needed)

I would probably look for something +40 or above. You can run something lower, but it begins to hamper your tire selection to make it work.

+45 with a 265 up front is going to be close. As long as you roll the fenders you should be fine. The other thing to be careful of is rubbing the interior liner as there are wires running along those sections. Many people have rubbed through the liners and then through the wires.

If you want 285's in the back, go for 18 X 10, 50mm offset

with a 18 X 9.5 with 35mm offset, you can fit 255 in the back
