Rx7 Wheels?

[Powashiftin]

Does anyone have RX7 wheels on their 240s? Im lookin to purchase a set and i was wondering if anyone had them on their cars here?

[R240NA]

Dunno about FC wheels, but FDs are 50mm offset, won't clear brakes at all.

About two months ago I hit a curb and bent up the front driver's side wheel pretty bad. My friend had a 1984 RX-7 sitting around and we tried to stick the wheels from that on my s13 because I had heard they would fit. VERY close. One lug bolt was about 5mm off.

Ya im lookin to get FD wheels... Can i use spacers? what do you guys think? Supra rims are 50MM offset as well right?

[R240NA]

Spacers are fine to use. Toyota wheels won't fit because the hub bore is smaller, IIRC it's 64mm, Nissan is 66.1mm.

[Powashiftin]

what size spacers would i need

[super_hicas]

i think first generation rx-7's have compatible rims with the s13.

and i think the ae (celica) toyotas fit ours too.

Nope, tried that. Really close but they don't fit.

Nope, all Toyota passenger car wheels have a smaller hub bore. I checked it, it's 61mm. Unless you bore out the wheel it won't work. A 50mm whell would need a 10mm spacer to match the OE offset, lower to clear brakes/coilovers/etc.

oops i think i meant corolla's

If you go with spacers I wold get longer Studs. You don't want to lose to much thread and have lugs some lose.

bleh bleh, happy new years!

Just curious but can anyone confirm this? The wheels are a bit wider (16x8) so I thought that would throw it off a bit. I tried to fit my FD wheels and they didn't clear on the front. Now I'm trying to figure what size spacer I'll need. Thanks!

R240NA (Rusty??) knows his stuff. I cant confirm what he said, but I'll take his word for it.

Thanks, just curious because with the calculator I'm using it say I lose 29mm of inner clearance. I'm not sure how much clearance there is on stock suspension (as I'm on coilovers right now) and have a set of RX7 wheels laying around that only need one tire for a complete set of basically new tires. I'm going to a shock/strut/spring combo and am not familiar with the dimension of stock S14 suspension.
