16 x 8 +50 FD Rx7 wheels on SP20

anditz · 15-12-2011, 02:25 AM

Will I have issues fitting these rims? Will I need to stretch the tires. I've found a set with 225/30/16 on them and would buy if I they fitted.

Thanks

Good luck! Pump the guards and if they don't hit the strut maybe...(just use a little maths and figure out how far in the stock 6.5" wide rims are from the strut and then figure out how far these would go. (offset is 45 AFAIK.)

Do a Google search for "FD rims on P5" and you should find a thread on Mazdas247 that will give all the information and suggestions you need.

They should fit. With 6mm spacers on the rear.

If you can fit 18x8" +50 RX8 rims on a hatch, nothing stopping ya from doing it with 16's

From memory, didnt the RX7's come out with +35 offset as well??
