Why this setup matters on an RX-7 FD
The Mazda RX-7 FD is a lightweight, responsive rear-wheel-drive sports car, so wheel width, offset, tyre size and alignment settings can change how the car steers and puts power to the road. A 18x9.5 +22 wheel with a 265/35R18 tyre is a performance-oriented package that should be checked carefully for inner suspension clearance, outer guard clearance, brake clearance and tyre shoulder position.
BBS RIA wheels give the RX-7 a strong Japanese performance fitment angle, while Michelin Pilot Sport 5 suits road-focused grip, wet-weather confidence and everyday drivability. The best result comes from checking the full package on the vehicle, not judging the wheel and 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.
