i just bought a 81 rx-7 and i wanted to know what are the biggest rims i could put on them. say with low profile tires and such. plz help

 

put some 22's on it yo!

but actually biggest ive found for my lug pattern i think was 16's, and they cost too much for my liking. found em on black dragon

 

so i can prolly do 16s with low profile tires right? i didnt plan on 22s LoL.

 

Input rims into the search engine and prepared to be deluged with opinions and facts....there are some out there allegedly running 18" X 7" rims with custom offsets......a 19 or 20 should also be possible if you're loaded with coin....

 

im fine with 16s right LoL i dont want balla status. i kinda just need information about i guess its umm lug spacing or sumthing LoL because alotta places ive been said they dont even have rims for my year . can u help me with that plz

 

Omg Rollin On Dubs!!!!!

 

UchihaBLUNT - what ever wheel you find, make sure its 4x110 bolt pattern. Good luck. Check Panasport Wheels, they are nice.

 

ok thank you.

 

I just put 17" x 7 rims and low profiles (40mm) on mine recently not a problem (83 model rx7) Have kept suspension standard but when I lower it I will have to think about flaring guards(especially front) Hasn't hit my guards yet. This Rim and Tyre setup has same overall height as standard 13" rim and tryes (so it didn't throw out speedo) It has same 4X110mm stud pattern. Can send you photos if you want. I also heard that Ford Escort rims will fit (don't know if this is true) I had to get these mags custom made as the mags to select from were limited.

 

You have to slot the holes ever so slightly... like maybe only a milimetre all around. It's a pain in the *** because when you put the wheel up to the hub and use the standard (stupid) lug bolts, you have to spin the wheel before you tighten them up to make sure it's centred.

I had a set of US800 chromies on my S2 years ago that were off a MK2 Escort originally.

 

do u guys know any websites that would have rims to fit my car? thanks

 

there are none

i'm not joking

check ebay and the "wheels for sale" section on this forum

 

i believe u. i cant find anything. i kinda didnt want those dull lookin ones. i wanted sumthing like the new style ones so theyd stand out =(

 

lol try ebay and you'll mostly get 4 wheeler rims but sometimes there's good stuff.

 

Nevermind.

 

Will try and send some photos.

 

Here we go....17' x 7 with 40mm Low Profiles

 

http://www.jdwheels.com/roh.htm they have snipers for that pattern in i think 15 and 16. mail them for more. i found these at my discount tire location.

 

if you go here http://www.wheelswest.ca/search.htm hit the click here for wheel search a page will come up and at the top look for mazda and rx7 you can find rims for rx7s there are many rims there to pick from but it is hard to find rims for the rx7s on there. the biggest size rim you can put on the rx7 is 18". but there are rims on there that will fit.
