ive got a chance to pickup a set of wheels off a buddy of mine that came off his s2000 they're 18x9 (114.3) in the front with 48 offset in the front and 18x9 (114.3)with 50mm offset in the rear... my only question was these rims were made for his car(honda s2000) so do i have to worry about the fitment problems because of the difference in hub bore size between the s2000 and rx7... any info would b appreciated thanx in advance

 

should be pretty close
worst case is u'll have to get some 5mm spacer

 

iam not worried about the wheel sitting 2 close 2 the struts(offset wise) im more concerned that the rx7 and s2000 have different hub bore's i believe the fd is 67.1 no clue what the s2000's is and if itll play a role in the wheels fitting at all
*bump*

 

Since they're aftermarket wheels, they almost certainly have a generic (large) centerbore. You will need to find the appropriate hubcentric ring that has the correct outer bore size (which depends on the wheel itseld) and the correct inner bore size, which is 67.1mm for the FD. The only wheels that come with the specific bore size are OEM wheels, and expensive, custom, made to order wheels.

Here is an example, but keep in mind the outer bore size may not be what you need:

Personally, I feel that aluminum rings are more durable; I've munched more than one plastic ring before.

The purpose of a hub ring is to help center the wheel when installing. That's it. Having said all that, you could get away without using any hubcentric ring at all. If you torque the wheels down in the correct pattern, the wheel should naturally center itself. I drove around on my first two sets of aftermarket wheels without any.

Would I recommend it? No. It helps keep one from seriously screwing up and hurting themselves or others. Besides, they're cheap.

 

thanx 4 the responce ill look in2 it
