XXR 952.

Front 17x7 38mm 205/45r17

Rear 17x9 35mm 245/40r17

No spacers, SE suspension with ploy bushings, tokico shocks and B&G springs (probably switching to racing beat springs soon).

The back rubs on heavy compression, had to space(spring) it up 3\4. Going to roll the fender a bit more.

1985 rx7 gsl

So this is a newbie question. What's the bolt pattern on a stock 85 gsl? I keep hearing different things. I've heard it's 4x114.3 so can someone help me out? Also I know it's hard to find wheels for 4x114.3 so does anyone know about a lug conversion ? Something easy just so that I can get different wheel options. Thanks

When we upgraded to turbo II brakes/hubs, we struggled to find correct wheels for our gsl-se. I started with 16x7 enkei j90 but too much + offset caused rubbing issues with struts and tie rods. I cured the front by going to keep 16 x7, zero offset, rims on the front and then began searching for matching rears. I tried the Jeep rims but those stuck out beyond the fender too much. I finally settled on set of crown vic 17 x 7.5 steel rims which have +42 offset. Everything stays under the fender and I got to keep the sleeper effect I wanted for my LS swapped fb. YMMV
