hey guys, will a 16x6.5 size wheel with a +55 offset fit onto a 2nd gen Rx7? my suspension as of now is stock.



and also could someone explain to me what the offset means? thanks in advance

 

Wow, that is the goofiest size wheel I've ever heard of.

 

haha its a OEM 97+ honda prelude wheel. only reason im considering these is because i found someone selling a set for 50 bucks.

 

I really doubt it will fit. Stock offset is +40mm so those will be 15mm more IN. Higher positive offset goes farther inside the wheel well where lower goes farther out.

 

Are you sure that is the correct offset? Ive seen an FC with those prelude wheels on it, and they didnt look that sunken in. I suppose they couldve been using spacers though...

 

ohhh so the outer side of the wheel will go further in and may rub whatever is in the way?

 

Yes.

 

yep, thats the correct one. maybe the ones your thinking of are off a 92-96 prelude because theyve had an identical pattern but only 4 lug.


okay, thanks dDub!

 

It won't fit up front unless you run like a 195 wide tire.

spacers may be
i doubt it'll fit up front

 

okay guys, thanks for the responses. now i have another question so ill ask here instead of starting a new thread.

i need a replacement tire for my wheel. the wheel size is 16x7.5 and i believe a +35 offset and im wondering whats a good size tire to throw on it. the size previously was 205/40/16

now im wondering if i can shoot for 225/40/16. these wheels will be on my rear. thanks guys

 

A 225/50-16 on a 16x7 or 16x7.5 would be the correct size to maintain the proper speed reading on the speedo.

 

I'm running 225/50ZR16 right now on 16x7's with a +38mm offset, that size should be fine. You could probably go a little bit wider if you wanted, but that size should be good for a +35mm offset.

 

cool thanks guys :thumbup:
