I am swapping an SR20DET into my 85 RX7. We are using the entire front suspension from an S14 with 300ZX rotors and calipers. My question is what 16x8 wheels will clear the brakes?

It'll be very spoke-dependent.
Also, are you using the 26mm or 30mm brakes?

I mean... Z32 wheels will fit for sure haha.
Just make sure the spokes don't wrap in-board past the mounting flange of the wheel too much and you should be ok. Worst case scenario, you'll have to run a spacer.
