Looks good. Still, I wish there were an option for a lower offset that would fit. I see pictures like the one attached and say "that's the look I want to achieve". But I don't know - there must be fender rubbing big time... Panasport does have 4 x 110 with 15mm offset, but they recommend 20mm. |

KYB shocks and Noltec adjustable strut tops. Whiteline sway bars front and rear. Handles quite nicely on the 15"s
Hey speaking of suspension...I have a REALLY quick question for you FMAZ.....The company KING SPRINGS is out of Australia...and they provide a HUGE drop for our first gens...But are they any good? |

Old Panasport FS Wheel Brochures
I dug up a set of old Panasport brochures I had from the mid- to late 1990s.
They used to offer 14 x 6 wheels, 4 x 110, with 15mm offset. They offered 15 x 7 wheels, 4 x 110, with 18mm offset. These were the base wheel options for RX-7s at the time for street wheels. I'm going to give Panasport a call today to ask about the lowest, clearable FS wheel offset possible for a 1st gen and post. |

I have some Ronal 15 x 7's with +15mm offset, and a set of (very) old Tokico springs that have my car sitting near the bumpstops. I have no tire rub issues with a 205/50-15. The front fenders have been lightly rolled. I actually have less clearance when using my stock + 13's and a 205/60-13, but the issue with those is the springs.
I know they aren't panasport style, but here's a pic. https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...d=218272&stc=1 |
