Wheel fitment

[Christopher]

Good stuff keep those pics coming. What wheels are you going for-have you decided?

16" 8.5J and 9J


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.

^^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!
