hi i am in the process of buying some panaspeed alloys from an r32 gts-t.. do you think the offsets on the skyline will allow the fitment to a 1993 rx7 type r 225 fronts and 245 rears...any advice taken as need to know asap...p.s there are no offset markings on the rims... i know the rears are 9" i think fronts are 8"....thanks nigel...

I may get flamed for this, but i don\'t think that they will fit. I think the offset is miles different between the rx7 and the skyline. I think the skyline wheels would stick too far out on the rx7.

Looked at some nice 18\'s in the store cupboard at hyper sports in bolton and they thought they wouldn\'t fit at all !

Some skylines are using 32 offsets and if arches rolled just fit, you really need to try them, can you do a sale and return or get your car there to try.h and are the on 17" or 18"

I\'m not completely sure what the wheels i was looking at where meant to be on, but they wouldn\'t fit my rx7 ! As said the best bet would be to see if you can do a trial fit then at least both you and the seller are completely satisfied.

Most aftermarket Skyline (exc. GTR) wheels will be et30 - et45 which on 8" + 9" rims should be OK on your Rex.  The spigot ring will need to be changed however (Nissan 66.1, Mazda 67.1).

ECR33 alloys (R33 GTS-t) are a direct fit onto an FD3S RX-7.
An RX-7 can also run std. BCNR33 (R33 GT-R) Alloys.

Dunno about HCR32 (R32 GTS-t) but the stud pattern will be the same for sure, just not sure the rims will be wide enough.

Suck it and see, I guess!

Chrome Silver will probably look better on an all black car. Saw a black RX-7 today with black alloys...my first thought was, "mmm, if I buy this car for stock, the wheels need to be changed to Silver..."

Then again, everone has different tastes I guess..
