If you are searching for Mazda RX-7 wheel fitment, Blitz Wheels Type 01 on a Mazda RX-7, 17x9 +45 wheels on a RX-7, or what tire size goes with that setup, this build is a real-world answer, photographed and measured by the owner.

Blitz Wheels Type 01 17x9 +45 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 17-inch in diameter and 9 inches wide with a +45 offset up front, and 17-inch by 10 inches at +45 in the rear.

A +45 offset on a 9-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a conservative, factory-like position. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +45 offset on the 10-inch wheel keeps the rear in line with the front.

255/40R17 / 295/35R17 tires on 17x9 wheels

The tire size is 255/40R17 front and 295/35R17 rear: a 255 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 17-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Kumho XS. We stock Falken Azenis FK460 A/S 255/40ZR17 98Y - 28105136 at $188 each in this size, and other 255/40R17 tires through the 255/40R17 tire search.
