5.5 backspace no spacers but requires fender roll. 6.5 if you want to run a 1/2 spacer and not roll fenders. I would go 6.5 if doing it over.

Thanks.. We are putting my rx7 on the dyno to see what she will make on a moderate boost level tomorrow morning. Then there is a local IFO race sunday. Sucks my axels and diff did not get here in time. So i will be rolling off the line then trying to back half the car into the 10's.


Here is a video of the car on 540whp racing a 770 whp Fbody. I hope to get the car into the 700ish range really soon!

If you roll the fenders can you get a different back space and not have to shave caliper. I already painted my calipers but my car is going to get painted soon and the fenders are going to be rolled to death anyway for my other wheels. Thanks

I was actually wondering what the wheel setup was on this gorgeous fd, It just transforms the look of the fd and makes it look even more badass. Love the setup!
