that sucks! ive always sort of worried about that in the back of my mind but eh whatev.

im running the stock bbs wheels as well. painted mine gold though. i had 3 center caps but one of the metal peices didnt have the plastic stuff to latch onto the rim, but funny enough i found one at a junkyard and it works great. now i need two of the black center parts that say mazda.

hopefully some will turn up at the junkyard again.

if it matters i use 205/60/r15 tires, but im sure many people know that.

telling us you have no spacers doesn't help at all if you don't say what the offsets are

Those wheels are 17X9 +24 in the front 17X10.5 +28 in the back.

They are just Replica FR500 Mustang wheels.

Anyone can get those to fit with the small tires he is running.

I run 95 Cobra R wheels all around. 17X9 +24 with 235/40/17s

Had to roll the front fenders to keep from rubbing, because of the Eibach Turbo Lowering Springs.

You might want to spend a few days paging through this epic thread:

https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/official-fc-wheel-fitment-thread-257700/

There's scads of pictures of various wheels in various offsets there.

I'm running some pretty tame 16x7 BBS wheels with the stock offset of +40. 205/55 R16 tires, so same as TII/GTUs stock sizes.
