I'm not positive, but I believe I got a few people tell me that those won't fit. Are they rotas?

If the fronts are +45, they will stick out and rub. The rear should be inline with the fenders at the edge, give or take a few mm.

For the fronts, using a 17x7.5 wheel, you should run anything under +38....might get away with +40.

Ya thats what I thought. The price for those rims is great. Plus they have some nice looking rims that are really light. Too bad they won't fit...

I was supposed to get rota next summer because of their light weight and you tell me that they won't fit?
What is the offset for an rx7?

Ya it seems you pretty much have to get the real expensive rims for our cars(Racing Harts, Volk, etc.). Pretty much sucks since the rota subzeros are the exact rims I want.
