Rims fitment
 
Wanting to buy some enkie92 rims for my rx7. Have a 1985 gslse. The ones I found are 15x7 with +20 offset. Does anyone know if they will fit?

If trying to keep same tire profile,oe is 205/60/R14
With a plus1 profile tire of 205/50/R15 which dimensionally is about same size as oe tire you WILL encounter tire/fender contact. To run an oe size tire on a 15" rim you will need as close to a + 33 mm offset as you can get. This offset will center the tire in fenderwell and have no contact with spring on inside and fenderlip on outside.
+20 mm offset is perfect fitment for non GSL-SE 1st gens. Suspension,brakes,axles different on SE model,requires different offset wheel. +40 mm is offset on original Se 14" x 5.5" wheel.

Hey,

I had some enkei compe in 15x7 +25 offset with 205/50r15 tire and they fit good. But my car wasn't really low, it was on racing beat springs. I would always drive in a canyons pretty hard never had rubbing issues.

In this picture you can see in that in the front you would run into rubbing issues if the car was lower
