Why this setup matters on an RX-7 FD
The Mazda RX-7 FD is a lightweight rear-wheel-drive sports car, so wheel fitment, tyre sizing and alignment settings can quickly change steering response, clearance and tyre wear. BBS wheels suit the Japanese performance character of the FD RX-7, while Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is a road-focused performance tyre chosen for steering response, wet-weather confidence and daily drivability.
A 235/40R18 tyre needs to be checked against the exact wheel width, ride height, suspension setup, guard clearance and tyre placard requirements. The best result comes from checking the full package on the vehicle, not judging the wheel or tyre separately.
Four-wheel alignment after new wheels and tyres
Four-wheel alignment is recommended after fitting new wheels and tyres because it helps protect the new Michelin tyres from avoidable shoulder wear and gives the RX-7 a proper steering baseline. Toe, camber and steering-centre checks matter on an FD RX-7 because the chassis is sensitive and low-profile tyres can show alignment issues quickly.
For Adelaide roads, alignment also supports straight-line stability, braking confidence and predictable steering through suburbs, foothills and hills drives.
