Noob wheel/tire question

I have an 88' vert with stock bbs rims. One of my rims bent and i am having trouble finding a single replacment. i did find a local selling stock honda prelude rims with these specs.

Diameter: 16inch
Lug Pattern:5x114
Width:7
offset: +55

(note that from all sorces that i can find the actual width of these rims are 6.5")

Will these comfortably fit my rx7?
thank you all for the help, Todd

I'm pretty sure they will hit the suspension in the front. You are correct, the stock wheels are 15x6.5" offset +40. Info is in the FAQ https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...faq-fc-494667/

Good luck in your search.

You might need some spacers up front for what RXSpeed16 stated. There's a tire/ wheel section. You might find more info there.
