Yes, I've seen other RX7's on this forum with the Konig Rewinds 15 x 7 4x110 bolt pattern and about a 20 to 2mm offset. They fit very well. Goodwin Racing in San Diego, CA sells them as does another guy who frequents the froum named Hikaru.

The 20mm offset Rewinds are not to my taste however. I prefer the look of Panasports which can be procured in a lower offset - 15 to 18mm and have a more pronounced lip and look more rear-wheel drive-ish.

As far as fenderwell and suspension clearence, The SA and FBs are the same. My bud (robs_seven) has a set of these on his 79. Shoot him a pm and see if he will give you a pic.

I hate the 4x110 pattern due to barely any selection. so i'm switching hubs/brakes in front and trying to get SE rear if not temporary solution are 1" wheel adapters in the back for less than $100

$500shipped come with Lightweight Muteki open end lug nuts included(balck or silver).
Rota RB in 4x114. 1 (Silver w/polished lip)
Front 15x7 @ +10-30 (he hasnt gotten back with 15x7 offsets yet)
Rear 15x8 @ +4

Silver w/polished is the only color available.
