I am looking to buy some 17inch montegi wheels for my 86 base (se) the wheels are currently in an 88A.E. Rx7 are they compatible, first one to answer and help me out recives a FREE CHILI DOG OMG

 

#1, the base model was called the base, and not a SE. The SE was only available as the base model in '88.

#2 the base model came with 4 lug wheels, the 88 AE was a turbo and came with the 5 lug wheels

 

Didn't the se have 4 lug with a 4x114.3 pattern and the AE have 5 lug with 5x110 pattern?

Maybe I just need a nap.

No, the SE did come with 4x114.3, but the 10AE came with 5x114.3, not 5x110.

 

so i take it im fucked and cannot not get them? or is their a converison and if there is, is it even worth it?

 

swap the 4 lug hubs and brakes with the 5 lug ones

 

clarify

 

cost?

 

you go to the junk yard, or someone selling parts, you find some 5 lug brakes and hubs, you buy the hubs and brakes off of them and replace the brakes and hubs on your car with the 5 lug ones.

So you would get better brakes and you could fit the 5 lug wheels on then.

 

can these be bought new, i.e .com site that would have them for sale? and by new brakes i take it you mean the whole kitten caboodle

 

I suppose you could buy them new, but I am sure it would very expensive.

As far as Kit & Caboodle, yes you would need to replace the hub (which the brake rotor attaches too), the brake rotor, the brake caliper, and the brake line at the caliper on each corner.
