spacing them out would put alot of stress onto your lugs because the lug nut is not screwed all of the way down thus holding more pressure on less threads........ an inch is alot of space to make up if you look at how much room you actually have to work with.........****.....for about as much as those a/r rims you could buy some rota circuit 8's for about the same price........they look damn good on any car.......pd 500 for 16x7's and have no problem with backspacing......

ps. miatas have same bolt pattern as rx7's

 

You'll need 1" "offset" spacers.&nbsp PM ARD T2 to see if he can get them for you.&nbsp Expect to pay $100-$200 for a PAIR - you'll need two pairs for front and rear.

whats the stock backspacing on a 88 14" SE wheel, the backspacing on my rims is 5.5 inches

 

also, i just ofund that they are 5 inches on stock SE wheel, will i need to find spacers for front and rear?...can i do just front ones.....and if i do them will i have to change the studs if i only use 1/4inch spacers?

also my tire size is 205-55-R16
