Will these Wheels fit on my 85 FB?



it says on the ad

"16 x 7, 8"
4 x 114.3 PCD will suit S13"

i know the stud pattern is correct.. 4 X 114.3 .. just dont know about the offset..

anyone know the offset for an s13?

very good price at $450AUD

if i could get this.. and make it fit.. i would strike a bargain... and i know how u guys love a bargain

all it needs is a lil cleaning and maybe white paint on the rims.. and it will look sweet.. watcha think?

thanx heaps guys

EDIT: i have an 1985 series 3 rx7 (its weird here in aus, i got gsl-se wheels but my interior isnt and i have a 12a.... i beleive there in america.. all 85 models came with 13b)

thats a SE bolt pattern and the offset looks fairly close. id buy them and if they wouldnt fit you could probably makes some money reselling them.

For a 7" in wide wheel that does not look like 3-1/2" offset, otherwise the rim/tire is going to hit the strut/coil spring.

My .02¢

The bolt pattern is correct, buuuuut -

IMO,

It's ugly.
RX-7's need rims with some sort of Lip to them.


Try a photo-shop of those rims on your car 1st.

timmy, is yer car a gsl-se?
if not they wont fit
rims are very hard to find in the 12a lug pattern
maybey try searching
and IIRC 8 inch will not fit in the back with the "stock" offset... i had some 7.5" wide tires fitted on my 81 with se suspension
and they wouldnt fit in the front or back


and i dont love you too...

Allot, if not all other markets other than north america got there '84 & '85 rx-7's with what we call the SE's suspension (and thus bolt pattern) but still had the 12a and the same dash that came in the series 2 cars while the north american market got an "upgraded" dash on all '84 & '85 cars but had the options of GS & GSL which had 12a's (and the "why did MAZDA do it," 4x110 bolt pattern)or the GSL-SE which had the 13b and of course the desirable 4x114.3 bolt pattern.
