rx7 wheels
I dont own an rx7 (yet) . i own a 79 corolla sr5 liftback. I just scored an 85 rx7 rear end with lsd to mount in under my car. Originally i planned to drill out holes to place studs and convert to the 4x114.3 lug pattern of the rims i have. But apparently rx7s dont have studs(didnt know about that). So i was looking for info on used 1st gen rx7 rims with not to much of an offset(apparently it will widen the rear track by 2" on each side and i dont want to go fabricating a wide body kit). any pics or info would be cool and very helpful. i only need 2 rims 14s or (15s max)
If worst comes to worst i guess i could just drill em out and mount toyota rims.

what do you mean by "drilling them out"? are you talking about the wheels themselves or the hubs?
can this be done on my 85 gsl with 4 wheel disk? and what do you think it would cost? i've been considering getting wheel adaptors, but they're really expensive.

i guess i could do the same as well...swap all my suspension for gsl-se parts. is it really worth it though? i mean i'll be upgrading the springs, and shocks anyways, so what benefit other than bolt pattern would i get by doing that swap?
anyone have any idea approx. how many hours labour it would take to do the gsl to gslse suspension swap (only parts necessary to swap to get the 114.3 pattern). this will give me an idea as to how much work is involved
