who makes 16x8 5x114.3 +40 wheels?

[dwdsm]

Title says it all. I'm trying to look at all my options for autocross and a 16" wheels would cost less and be lighter then a 17" wheel. I just can't find any 16x8's.

RX-7 wheels...

 

[DSMSpyder99]

RX7 are 50 offset so you would need 10mm spacers and extended studs.

 

[dwdsm]

Hmm that's it? I would think someone would make them aftermarket.

 

[eclipsh]

I can't say about the after market besides do a Google search. You can use wheels off a Stealth/3kgt if you want 16x8 for cheap.

Oh.. and check Tire Rack.

 

[CPHunter]

16x8 are not a popular size...anymore. 3000GT and Stealth rims are heavy. Try looking on tirerack under 93-95 RX7 and mid 90s mustangs.

 

[dwdsm]

No dice on tirerack only 16x7.5 at best. I'll just go back to saving the cash for a set of enkie RPF1 17x8.5 wheels.
thanks,
Dave

There is always Old Faithful - the 16x8.5 Kosei K1 ?

35-ish offset (forget exactly).

The K1's are discontinued. I would get the wheels in 17" size. Much more variety since that's OEM size on STi's and EVOs.

 

[dwdsm]

Found a set of used 16x8.5 kosei K1s with a 37mm offset and 245 Hoosier R3S03's. After rolling the fenders so you think I'll have any trouble with rubbing? Fender roller is rented and should be here this weekend. I think I may powder coat them if the paints crappy...Hmmmm black or white track wheels??

 

[talonTSIDriver]

I got some, and I may even think about selling them as the TCE big brake kit needs 17in rims. I have my rear fenders rolled, and use a 10mm spacer on all 4 and they fit.

Same 37mm offset?

 

[talonTSIDriver]

Same 37mm offset?

Yes sir!

 

[dwdsm]

What are your spring rates? I only have the H&R/Koni yellow set up and I need to tuck ever so slightly... wow! I just looked at your profile and you have Hyperco (850/425) springs. No wonder you don't contact the fenders... Am I crazy for going with this set up on a street/strip/autocross/show car?

 

[FFTec - jerry]

I have a used set of 5Zigen Div. 3 wheels, 16x8, 40 offset, 5x114.3 if you are interested. They have no tires, but I'll sell them for pretty cheap. Send me a PM if you are interested.

My current spring rate is 650fr/425rr. I will be swapping the fronts out for some 850lb springs to set the car up for high-speeds.
