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.

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

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

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

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
