I need SOMETHING for the rear. I'm not pimping it with 13's back there. Lol. It'd drive now but I also need wheels. If I can't find something 5 x 114.3 cheap. I guess the vert will donate its wheels and tires then get aftermarket 16 or 17's.

Anything ford etc fit this in a 15 ?

Need something to convert the lug pattern for the rear. A guy on here said he had adapters but I've not heard back. Can't find a disc 84-85 and defiantly can't get mosers anymore through RE speed. So it's either a rear change or adapters.

Can build your own custom RE-Speed copy for the rear of an 84-85 big bearing disc rear end. But like you said, very hard to find one - I'm having the same issue. I wish it would work with 81-83 GSL rear ends.

Super cool to see it running!

Throughout the 90's the 84-85 rx7 was consistently the top rated used car (reliability) in Consumer Reports.
