will these wheels work on my car?
hi guys, i found some wheels for my car and im wondeirng if they will fit just fine without any clearance issues. heres his description, i have an rx7 fb. i think GS model.
"Original Enkei 92 from 80s in amazing condition. Super rare 4x110 PCD, should fit Mazda Rx2 rx3 rx4 rx7, 929. Come with Goodyear tires 195/50/R15." and heres some pics of them. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...beed70e9b0.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5a7e54539d.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9b5bfab793.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5c950926dc.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...be8a7f54e8.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...93f4306b99.jpg |
I'm looking at your 4th pic and can't make out the offset. 20mm offset is good for 7" wide rims on FBs. I have 15x7 et20 on my 85 and they fit great, but they're not Enkei's.

lucky fucker........... :nod:

I see a 17 for offset.
|
Stock wheels are 5.5 wide with 17 offset. How wide are the Enkei's were looking at?
I have 7" wide w/20 offset and they fit great on my GS. OP can you put one on and see, or is this an internet sale? This is my 7" wide x 20mm et https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...30ab8f3fb5.jpg |

yep i see it now. |
i have 15x7 with 7 offset 92's on mine, they basically sit flush to the outside fenders. you want to keep the 195's unless you can add some negative camber in the front.
i'm running 225/50/15's on mine, but i think next set i'm going to 205's https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...bd0a424427.jpg |
Looks like the rears stick out a little?
The 225 looks good actually.

I wanted enkei 92's. Couldn't find any. Those are the best FB wheels.
|
Enkei 92's are plentiful. In silver, gold and black.
EDIT - I'm sorry, didn't realize the 4x110's were discontinued. I have been looking at 4x114.3's for a while, which are plentiful. |
I had a set of the enkei on the rear of my sa. 195s too. They fit well.

I think that is a 7mm offset. I have these wheels on my 85GSL 15"x7" they look right, and don't rub with 205s the 225s that were on the rear did rub a little. Nice find!

Ok. I think I finally got a hold of him. He dissapeared from Craigslist and into eBay. Price went from 600 for the rims plus tires (which are in good shape) to just the rims for 1000 on eBay -_-
I'm asking him if we can do stuff locally for the old price. I'm not holding my breath though. But if things somehow work out. They are 7 offset. So would they work? I haven't seen them in person yet |
hi guys, looks like im picking this wheels up tomorrow :) what should i be looking for when i inspect them?

Is he investing in corn or rims?

what lug nuts do these rims take? do they use the stock lug nuts or somethign special?
|
Double post
|
The stock lug bolts won't work - the heads are too big for anything except the stock wheels. You'll need to install studs and use lug nuts with a 60 deg mounting face (very common). Mazdatrix can set you up with these.
|
well, they work! :D just drove home on them, gotta say i wasnt really sold on the aesthetics of them until i saw them on. the look nice :)
|
Since you've got them on might as well post pictures for us.:icon_tup:
