FD RX7 wheels..

[AK1RA07]

I bent one of the rims on my car and it no longer holds air, so im looking into getting some wider replacement.

Since the wheels are 16 x 8 anyone know what kind of spacers are required? Also, anyone know if the 205/55/16 tires I have will fit on them? Thanks.

Well, i guess Ill answer my own question

I asked someone else running the same setup, and they said the fronts dont need spacers and the rears have 10mm spacers, with the control arm notched out a bit, so i think I will get 1/2" to be safe.

Also if anyone was wondering, those tires will only fit up to 7.5 wide wheels.

Thanks for the information, Me.

Those rims are 8" wide....and 245s would be better....205s are not wide enough.

I got the wheels on today.. ( with stock suspension, running 225/50/16 Toyos )

I got 1/2" spacers for the rear, it clears the control arm ok, but pretty much barely.

The front rubs a lot up against the strut ( no spacers), so much that I put the stock wheels back on up front until I find another set of spacers. Also got a set of acorn lug nuts, the stock ones dont fit too well i dont think.

Ill get better pics later once I get the front rims and its not sundown washing out all my pictures. It desperately needs a drop.
