i believe that the specs on the IS' rims are as follows:

17x7 offset=50mm

i was just wondering if anyone had already done this? or would know befire hand if this would work.

thanks,
chris

 

50mm offset? hmm you'd probably need some spacers cuz they'd stick in too much

 

umm, ya, by about 10mm worth. haha

 

haha yah... before i put on my 7/32" spacers on the front, my 16x7 38mm offset rims on 225 tires rubbed

 

people have done it, it looks good

S14 stock alloys also work very well and are just the right size

 

what do they look like?

 

what? i got the stock TII rims with 225's and mine don't rub...

 

yah i had some stock TII rims for a while too, and on front they didnt rub until full turn, at full turn backing up or going forward they "thumped" against the side

 

hmm, i don't seem to have that problem. i guess it's a case by case thing.

 

my rx7 is also lowered btw, if that makes a difference to you =)

 

oh, ya, that probably has something to do with it, haha.

 

Yep. I had them on my old TII. I loved the way they looked, just the right amount of rim for the car. They fit fine with no spacers in the front, and 10mm in the back, however, they did rub under hard cornering, even with the fenders rolled. Of course, the car was slammed 2", so short of 14's, just about anything rubbed. Here are a few pics with them on the car, hope it helps in your decision process. Note that these bastards are not light. 22 lbs a piece. So bear that in mind when you're making your choice.

WOW thanks for all the help!!!

i did not realize the IS rims were so heavy...oh well, my car is no racecar by anymeans...

again, thanks for the help...i will most likely put these on.

cheers,
chris

 

Will 40mm offset fit the rx7? without spacers that is...

 

40mm is stock offset

 

great..thanks.

 

btw, what other stock rims fit well on our cars with out spacers?

 

honda accord wheels have the same lug patt and offset...- prelude- altima-

 

Hm, I dont remember reading that.

I just thought it looks pretty damn close to billzrx7's car.
