Will a 93RX-7 Stock wheels fit to a 86 RX-7

I have a 93 and a 86 RX-7's
I am thinking of buying a new set of 17" wheels for the 93 and installing the FD wheels to the 86 Sports RX-7.
Any fitment problems? Does anyone have any pics of a 2nd Gen with 3rd Gen wheels?

I dont mean to be rude but, you should've done a search, there was a thread on this a little while ago. But anyways, the 3rd gen wheels should fit on the rear just fine, but the fronts you're going to need wheel spacers. It will push the wheels out a bit so the tires wont rub, but then it will look funny because the fronts will be farther out than the rear, so you should just buy wheel spacers for all four wheels. I know H&R makes wheel spacers for the 2nd gen, but I cant seem to find them. I too am looking at putting 3rd gen wheels on my 2nd gen.

The fronts don't fit, short of a 22mm spacer.&nbsp Esoteric math is here...

The rears fit with minor bending of the muffler heat shields.
