I was able to get my hoosiers to fit under the stock ROLLED ONLY fenders. Had to cut the frame rail a little just to be safe. The offset and size of the wheel will not work for normal rx7's without a narrowed 8.8 rear but if people need to know there 15x9.25 with 6.5 bs and hooser 28x10

How much of the cost will you be able to recover by selling all your old shit?
Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Some pics of my kirkey seat install. It was VERY easy if you use a stock sliding bracket. Just a couple strips of 1" wide steel, 1/8th inch thick. The strips have to be spaced about half inch above the rail to clear the cable mechanism but other then that its straight forward.

You are correct, I actually forgot to update that. I had a ptc 10" on my old setup and PTC let me trade it in for a credit and the spec'd me a 9.5" . $250 shipped, not bad.
