Will 13" rims fit on a GSL-SE?
 

Will 13" rims fit on a GSL-SE?

Please don't find me and kick my ass. This is actually a real question. I have to sell my accord or my se, according to a higher power (wife), so I want to drive my se in the deep snow of the north so I can keep it. I have had the car for twelve years but I really only drive my turbo 7 anymore. Thanks for any help, very appreciated.

To be specific, will a standard 13 fit over the brakes? I know I need 4 X 114.3 bolt pattern.

13 inch rims
 

Well, what rims are you talking about? Your bolt pattern on your se is 4x4.5.
If your talking about rims off a front wheel drive, they have a different offset and will cause nightmares. rx7doctor

yes, they will fit...my buddy has a set of 13x7 panasport wheels on his gsl-se

You'd need the check the specific wheel you're looking at to make sure your brake caliper will fit inside of it.

Additionally, if you mean stock RX-7 13" wheels, then no. Different bolt pattern.

The kinds of 13" wheels you *can* get that fit are *not* what you would want to use in the winter.

Maybe you could get some wheels from an Accord or something for winter use? Plenty of decent low profile tires. 195/65 should be a good size for a 14" wheel.

i tried fitting 13"S on my gsl-se, they were the correct lug pattern however they would not clear the brake calipers

Thank you for all the great information. Do you know of any cars that would have had 13 or 14 inch rear wheel drive wheels that I could try? Also, ever had any luck with deep snow and snow tires?
