TII guys, i have a quick question for you.

Im doing a TII swap on my 83 rx7 (front brake setup. switching to 5 lug and TII brake setup.) Now my question is. what size wheel will fit over these brakes? will a 15 fit, or do i need to run a 16?

The stock '88 vert wheels are only 15" and they use the same 10.9" disks and 4-pot brakes as the TII. So, yes they'll fit.

The caliper istself is bigger on the 5lug brakes. I have 17" 08 Civic SI wheels and I had to use spacers because the rim would touch the caliper.

im not talking about the backside face of the wheel hitting im specifically talking about the inside diameter of the wheel.

so it sounds like the 15's will fit then.
