You're going to need some spacers in the front, I'd go with some 5/16" ones, as that'll give you a 30mm offset, which is about perfect for an 8" wheel and 225 tire in front.

I think the 255/35 tire is a little to wide for a 8" wheel, you might want to step down a size, or run a wider wheel.

It appears that this thread is way too long for me to read through, call me lazy if you want.
We are building an ITS 86 Base model RX7. Im looking through the rule book and they say you can run any wheel up to a 15 by 7 wheels.
I would like to run R888's and some reasonable wheels. I am still in the process of finding a 5 lug/four piston conversion and Im sure that will change the offset of the wheels and the type of wheel I can run compared to the 4 lug single piston caliper setup.
My question is what wheels are you all typically running (type and offsets) and whether your running 4 lug or 5 lug setup.

For an ITS car, a good start would be some Mustang V6 wheels (circa ~1996-2004), 15x7, 24mm offset and the correct 5x4.5" bolt pattern. They're not terribly light (I've read 16lbs), but lighter than steel wheels, but best of all they'll be cheap as hell and readily available. Lots of people use Kosei K1's for ITS, but they're not made any more. They'll let you fit about the widest tires possible under stock fenders (you may have to roll the fenders though).

Ian, is that a 13B-RE manifold I see? Or are you still running the REW mani?
I love the fit of your wheels, looks very well balanced and nicely tucked.
Do you have coilovers on there?
Also do you experience any rubbing?

The blue SM2 TII doens't run, but I have the wheels on my CSP NA and they work very well. That car now has TRACTION lol.

Trying to decide on which tire to go with....rim is 17x9 for rear +38...pics would help me decide if anybody has any comparing a 255-40 or a 255-45 or even a 245-40 or 245-45....I would like the rim and tire to sit as flush as possible. Thanks in advance. Car is on RB springs and TOK-Blues.

im lookin at a set of xd9's in 18x9 +20 and 18x10+18 and was wondering if these would fit under a stock body with a roll. And if possible, what tire sizes would make it fit? 225 up front and 235 rear?
