For the rears, same size unless you're running a good amount of power, then you could step up to a 245 / 45 / 16.

if the 35 series fit, the 40 series should too. just might throw your speedo off a hair, and might feel a little slower due to the bigger diameter. but they should have no problem physically going on the car.

I know 17x7 with a 40 offset will fit front and back and so do 18X7.5 with a 38 offset, but i want to know if if i can fit 17X9 with a 35 offset on front and back.
What would i need to do to make the 17X9 fit all the way around.
I'm planning on getting coilovers later and i can and do live with negative camber front and back so thats not to much of a problem for me.
I really want those 17X9's to fit but if not i can sacrifice to the 18X7.5

I'm looking at getting some new wheels for my FC, and I want to run 18x8.5 with a +43 offset up front, with a 235/40/18 tire on them. will these fit into the stock fender wells?
And in the back, will 18x9's with a +33 offset work, running a 265/35/18 tire?

ARP makes studs for late model Camaros and Corvettes that fit. The regular ones are quite a bit longer in the rear, but not much longer in front. They also make even longer ones that are quite a bit longer in front.

alright, so i posted earlier in the fc thread, and it was a wheel fitment thing. heres the fa sho rundown on size. 17x10.5 +27. say i ran a 1" spacer in front with 20mm wider front fenders. modified inner fenders also. what other issues would i have? im just dead set on this, and would love to try to make it work, but i dont wanna be stuck with having to do some knuckle fab or anything ridiculous like that... so yay its possible, or nay give it up and move on???

wil87 those look sweet. I have a friend that had ARE wheels on his 90 GTU (https://www.rx7club.com/ne-rx-7-forum-30/r-i-p-650659/) and they looked awesome.

are there any pics of the tri points over wheels that fill up the fender more. nothing against his setup, but its too much fender for my taste. i dig the picture in your sig, Josh18, thats a little less aggressive than i would wanna rock, but it works. a pic of something close would be unspeakably helpful. if anyones got one, please post. thanks again... still thinkin about tryin it.
