1993 Mazda RX-7

1993 Mazda RX-7 wheel fitment at a glance

This 1993 Mazda RX-7 is running BBS RG-R, staggered: 17x9 +42 up front and 17x9 +32 in the rear, wrapped in 255/40R17 Nitto NT555 G2 tires.

It sits on lowering springs with a flush stance, meaning the wheel face lines up with the fender.

If you are searching for Mazda RX-7 wheel fitment, BBS RG-R on a Mazda RX-7, 17x9 +42 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.

BBS RG-R 17x9 +42 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 17-inch in diameter and 9 inches wide with a +42 offset up front, and 17-inch by 9 inches at +32 in the rear, in the 5x120 bolt pattern the Mazda RX-7 uses.

A +42 offset on a 9-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +32 offset on the 9-inch wheel pushes the rear out further for the staggered look.

BBS RG-R 17x9 +42 on a Mazda RX-7 is a common RX-7 question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

255/40R17 tires on 17x9 wheels

The tire size is 255/40R17: 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 Nitto NT555 G2. 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.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The drop comes from lowering springs, the simplest way to close the fender gap on a Mazda RX-7 while keeping the factory shocks.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Mazda RX-7 comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
