Does anyone know ?
 
So I bought 18" rims for my 1987 Mazda rx 7 . They are wider then the original rims that were on the car . The back rims fit great . However the front rims are too close to the springs . Does anyone have any advise on what to do to get the rims to fit on the front . Or were I can purchase wheel spacers that are for 4x114.3 thanks

Your best bet is finding a different set of wheels with the proper offset. If you install spacers, it can add stress to the front hubs. I've seen it working at dealerships, and also seen wheels come loose due to improper use of spacers. Not good.

This resource should help you.

I have bolt on spacers on my daily driver. As long as you keep the wheels torqued and get hub centric spacers, I see no issue with them.

You've started 12 threads but only 1 with a thread title giving any hint of the topic.

You've been a member for nearly a year? And yes, I noticed this was the second thread you started with the same question. I think we try to be a little more helpful here, but you probably would have gotten a response in the Wheels/Tires/Suspension section if you'd put more thought in your post.

And I agree with Jabaroo. Buy wheels that fit.
