Default Wheels Fitment?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum, and I purchase a White 2016 is200t F sport last weekend.
I have a set of brand new Work Emotion XD-9 on my RX-7, not sure if it would fit since my car is on stock suspension setup?
Would it still fit if put on some RS*R down or RS*R half down?

Wheels specs:
18x9 +20
18x10 +18

What's the best size tire that would fit without rubbing? Not looking for stretch look.
Does anyone have these on?

Thanks

Really depends on the off-set. This is what I run on my Lexus Is200t FSPort.
F 235/35/19
R 265/30/19

F 19 x 8.5 32 mm
R 19 x 10 42 mm

You could get away with doing a 225/40/18 all the way around. I had a 18x9.5 +20 all the way around on RSR superdowns had the front and rear fenders slightly rolled and ran slight negative camber. Only rubbed on big dibs.

I run a 19x8.5 +15 with a 225/35/19 and 19x9.5 +33 with a 255/30/19 now. Front rubs on occasion (mostly on the fender liner) I'll post pics when I get home.

the fronts 19x9+20 may barely clear if you really stretch your tires (215)
the rears 19x10+18.... you'd need camber arms and maybe fender mods to run those specs, especially with non-stretched tires.

i'm running 19x9+35 with a stretched 225 in the front fine, but the 19x10+45 with a stretched 255, i still have to have -1.5 camber in the rear to clear.

So I can run my 18x9 +20 in the front? and just 2 rims for the rear? lol
