NO!! That is four 4 lug 1st gens.

The bolt pattern for a 4 lug FC3S is 4x114.3. Stock Turbo wheel size is 16x7 with a +40mm offset, also.

If you want rims I got some 17x7 CHROME wheels for sale, with tires that WILL fit your RX-7.

good offset is width dependent, not diameter dependent

PM me if you're serious.

And a good offset for a 7" wheel is +40, like I said before. It's just like stock.

You'll want to stay close to the stock tire height too, so with a 17x7 a 45mm sidewall is good. Right now on my car I've got 16x7 +40 with 225/50/16 tires.

You can find a TON of good wheel size info for the FC in the suspension/wheel/tire forum.

Maybe he doesn't want to or need to? Not everyone is trying to run 12's.

4x114.3 and 38mm offset are the stock phone dial wheel. I have the 4 lugs and run a 42mm offset. I haven't lowered my suspension at all so I can't tell you of rubbing problems.

I've got Eibach springs and Tokico shocks, the car is lowered about an inch. I'm running stock size TII wheels at 16x7, with a +40 mm offset. 225mm wide tires all around.

I have no issues with rubbing. And they are all flush with the fenders. Four lug, by the way.
