12a wheels on a GSL SE?
I have wheels that are supposed to fit a regular 1985 rx7....is there anyway i can fit these wheels on a GSL-SE?....do i need spacers?, if so what kind and how much do they generally cost? should i expect rubbing even if the wheels fit perfectly on a base model?

Not to mention that they would stick way out. The SEs use a higher offset wheel than the 12A cars to begin with. The 12A wheel + adapter = stick way out. You could get away going the other direction (SE wheel + adapter) on a 12A car.
Just run the SE wheels or an aftermarket wheel with the SE pattern

but originally i wanted to do the switch because the tires on the black meshs popped and i was thinking of a cheap alternative instead of buying a new set of tires, but i guess i should since they're all pretty bald anyways...the gold mesh's i currently have are clean and have fresh tires on em...what a waste :/

I had my rears at 48 for a few days, got alil buzzed and spun out. I keep them at 44 now, fb is lighter so 44ish should be like 48. Run them at 42 or so in the back, not sure about the fronts I just got 912's in the front finally I dunno what the shop pumped em to but it feels great
The 912's seem to last good too, if you dont have em pumped around 40 (Atleast in the rear) I noticed the sidewall would rub against the ground during hard as hell corning, but you cant get it to break loose unlike the other tires I had they don't seem to get damaged by being driven rough.
