Been a long time since I have been on here. Kinda let the 7 fall by the wayside, but finally kicking the repairs/upgrades into gear.

Back story - a while back I got a smoking deal on a set of FC vert wheels with tires. I mostly bought for the tires, but now I'm starting to wonder if there's any way I can get them mounted on the car to get rid of the bent $100 specials I have on it now...

My question is - what can I do to get these mounted? 5 lug conversion is out of the question for me at this point of time. Are there adapters that would work in this situation? Have the wheels re-machined to 4x110 and run spacers to compensate for offset? I know there are the obvious downsides to both of these, durability, reliability, etc. I don't race the car, it is mainly my daily to and from work, with the occasional spirited drive on the weekend. I know also it would just be easier to buy some wheels in 4x110, but that would also be slightly out of budget for anything I would actually want on the car.

Can it be done or am I (mildly) insane?

 

You could convert your spindles to GLS-SE and get BILLETWHEELADAPTERS to convert 4x4.5 to 5x4.5. But the adapters new are about $250 for a set of 4.

I've never come across 4x110 to 5x4.5 adaptors.

 

You can get 4x110 to 5x4.5 adaptors from adaptitusa.com (or something close to that). There is a minimum thickness of the spacer of about 35mm. I can't remember the ET of the vert wheels, but I think it might not be enough to work with the 35mm spacer. Talk to adaptitusa and get out the calculator to see if it will work. The standard offset for 15x7 on the rx7 is 12-15mm, so you have to come pretty close to that for the wheels to work. There are other companies that make the adapters too, probably even billetwheeladapters.

 

^ Good to know for future reference.

Thanks
