14 inch wheels for 1982 4 x 110 pattern

Does anyone know companies that make 14 inch wheels for 1982 RX-7s? That is the 4 x 110 bolt pattern.

H Class tires are very hard to get in the 13 inch size, so I thought that a bigger rim with a lower profile tire would work the same, but I am having a time finding the wheels.

Thanks.

Performance tires are even harder to find in 14" sizes... You'll want to run a 195/60 which is increasingly hard to find.

Thanks for the offer

I wish it would be that easy. I believe those wheels have 114 mm spacing instead of the 110. Now I could possibly put newer rotors on the car.

I am interested to know what suspension and body modifications were made, if any, to accomodate the larger wheels. Such as the '85 GSL-SE.

Thanks.

Dude, the limited wheels fit, they are 4x110mm. I have a set too. The limited is the same as a normal FB except the wheels and paint.

The LE wheels came on a 12a equiped car so they are 4x110 and will fit all other 12a cars.

The GSL-SE had a different bolt pattern and larger brakes. That was the only difference apart from a LSD and lower rear gear ratio.

Do a search. somebody had a thread about a how to to swap to the SE suspension.

Just depends on how much you want to spend.

Alternatively, I've also got a set of old Reiken basket weave (black centers) 15" that are 4x110. I've gone to a GSL-SE is the only reason they're available.

Only drawback to get mine..... shipping costs. Alternatively, if you come to SevenStock this Summer, you can pick up.
