300zx brakes on 85 RX7

[Meifert]

Ok. Very long story short I am swapping an ST20DET into my 85 RX7. The entire front suspension is from an S14. We are using brake rotors and calipers from a TT Z32. My main question is what 16x8, or maybe 15x8, wheels will clear the calipers. I would really like a set of RS Watanabe wheels to keep it looking old school and not giving away what's done to it.

I have a set of OZ Plutons for sale (actually specific to an FC RX-7 but should work to clear Z32 brakes). I was working on restoring them into a diamond silver (BBS shiny) but the project stagnated, they have been prepped, primed, and base coated gloss black, still need to be fine sanded, have final color laid down, and cleared. They are either 15x7.5 if I remember correctly, here is a picture of some, these are not mine, if you're interested, let me know and I'll go take pictures and pull all the info on them.

It's an FB car.

Totally missed the year, my bad. Either way if you're putting Z32 hubs on it, the wheels would fit. Let me know. Thanks.

P.S. I am very jealous, I'd love to get my hands on an unmolested FB.

But those wheels look like they are 4 lug. What I need are 5x114.3.

The ones in the picture are 4 lug (they are not mine, just a picture I found online) Mine are 5x114.3

But do they clear the Z32 rotors and calipers. The FC rotors are smaller than Z32 rotors. I am not using any RX7 brake parts except the pedal

mac, If your vehicle is driveable ? Sounds like you may try what I found A very cooperatve wheel shop with ALLthe SHAPES & SIZES right there ,these guys I know will for a "few dollars" slide all the offsets and widths RIGHTon the car - I mean all the good advices from all - but take that advice & with actual "fitting" LIVE & IN COLOR you can't go wrong OR mispent $$$$$$$$. Really works cause they're getting SOME money and you may just buy your wheels - a deal - from THEM ! They think

Not right now. The engine isn't in the car yet and the factory rear axle is being replaced with a Mustang axle. The issue is there are no wheel shops like that near me. The wheels currently on it are garbage Rotas with cracks in them, even if they fit they aren't safe.

Updated with a picture of my actual wheel above. I have the original oldschool OZ centers as well. The base is a gloss black, just very dusty in the picture. GL on your search.
