Hey all, I\'m looking at getting some superlites as I want wheels to fill 240z style arches but don\'t want to use spacers and these guys make them with 4x110 PCD which is great as I don\'t want to put modern looking wheels on it.
[ATTACH]46862[/ATTACH]
So, as I\'m working away I\'ve got no way of looking at my wheels and am wondering whether these will fit and will stick out enough on that offset to fill the arches-here are the measurements.
15x8 wheels
-4 offset
110mm backspace
Any input would be appreciated, I just don\'t want to buy a set of wheels and it look like this.:Giggle

Been looking at these on eBay. Would also like to know about this......also some spacers would be nice :-)
Yeah the company who make them are in Australia but there is an importer in France. If you\'re interested I\'ll email you the price list and spec sheet they sent.
That would be great... but I can\'t be copying your style when were the only golden boys :-)
Haha I shouldn\'t worry mate it\'s cool to have another gold S2 floating about:Tongue1
Not on the same wheels though surely lol
I\'d take it as a compliment mate lol, seriously though I\'m not fussed-there\'s such a small selection of wheels available in 4x110 that it\'d be selfish of me to issue a superlight ban on you:D
Personally I don\'t like the look of modern wheels on FB\'s though but each to they\'re own! Have a look on rx7club.com there is a wheel thread in the 1st gen section which is interesting for inspiration.
that\'s a nice flared fb...

I could be wrong but minilite and image wheels will do any pcd
On my 1st gen it was 8" 15s all round and they whent under the wheel arches

Just seeing those pics again makes me want to go and get the series 3 I know about lurking in a nice dry storage area and do it all again but better:chat
I think these fit

Hmmm 60 quid isn\'t bad
Yeah that looked good Ian I love those meshies,I wonder whatever happened to that car......David?
Brian, cheers for the eBay link they are the exact ones I saw the other day and wondered whether they\'d be fittable.
As for getting that S3....you know it makes sense...:D:D:D:D
If they\'re are 15x8\'s on the red FB in the pic I\'m gonna have to get spacers too:( I don\'t suppose you remember what offset they were do you?
I still have those wheels as it happens and thinking back I ran spacers. You need to put in extended wheel studs also.
Stud length I can get as I know where the diff for that car went and I can measure the wheels tomorrow. The spacers were 20mm

If I wasnt at a local race meeting this weekend I would probably go and pay a visit:rolleyes:
Cheers Brian that\'d be great.
No problem
Now its time for:Snoring The wife is out so I will get some piece and quite before she comes in nagging about engine parts in the kitchen. They just dont understand

Still near London unsold (?I think?).
On ebay 2009 a couple of times then sold but sale seemed to fall through. Then relisted and I don\'t think it made it\'s reserve.
Elford as Ian said but not run for a while... I have the sellers details from last year still.

Reg Hunter says "Can you ask that nice Brian Fella for the Reg of that S3 if he gets to see it". (I\'ve morphed into another personality now Brian....I switch from Cool, Calm, Debonaire David to Mad Reg Hunter......always seeking that unknown Number Plate in that Barn)!:Hammer
Firstly I have made my one and only mistake for this year
My wheels were 7J 15" and ran 20mm spacers. The measurement from the back of the rim to the face were they bolt to the axle is 140mm
Not sure if any of that helps now
Cheers Brian thats spot on mate-gives me a good idea of what fitment I\'ll achieve without spacers and I\'ll go from there so will just order,suck and see! Will probably need spacers too but hey-ho.
I don\'t suppose you still have those 20mm jobbies do you?

Brian did you run the rears with spacers too?

Spacers all round and if any one asks nicely I will send what neg camber to run for track days

Yummy scrummy:mmmm.

I won\'t be running spacers. Will get the right offset something like 13 for the fronts and 19 offset for the rears I think. But now I have the arches I might just go for a 0 offset but I will see. I have to get it right because of the 4 pots.
Arches came this morning and look alright. A small chip on one of them. But as I will have them moulded in to the body work I don\'t really care. Post pics soon.

Hopefully I will be going down to see my car on Tuesday. I will take the pics then.
The arches are not the best quality but I suppose there all right for £60. You can\'t just spray them and bolt them on. I would say there is a bit of prep work to do.
Pete.
^^They look nice Pete look forward to seeing pics of it.
I asked the guys on rx7club.com about my offset question and as they are pretty keen on calculating all that stuff,true to form they come up trumps.
So these are the measurements compared to the offsets of OEM series 2 wheels-if anyone uses this as reference in future please bare in mind that series 3 offsets are different.
The clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 8mm LESS than OEM
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 56mm than OEM
So I think I will need to have spacers to achieve the look I want but still-56mm extra poke ain\'t bad!
im going to be running these with out spacers they are 14x7 but dont know the off set (http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p346/mooragerx7/rx7/IMG00005-20100316-1712.jpg)
^^^fair play mate,they\'ve got poke alright!
Still have not gone down to see my car looks like next week now. Pics of arches are still coming.
Sorry for the wait
Pete.
cant wait be see!!!!!!!!!
No worries Pete
Pics of arches are on my build thread.
