I got the inline on purchasing a special made pair of Volk te37's, 17x9 in the front, 17x10 in the rear.

They were originally made for a 3rd gen but i would like to put them on my 87 turbo II second gen RX7. I have enough power to hold 255's in the back and 235's in the front so thats not a problem.

I just need to know if the 5x114.3 bolt pattern will fit my car.

Thanks for all your help!

5x114.3 will fit a Turbo II. If the wheels fit a 3rd gen they probably won't fit your car well.

I think they will fit my car, yet im a little woried about the fronts.

Will a 17x9 rim fit in the front on my 87? I'm planning on putting a 235 on it.

Thanks!

What's the offset? That will answer your question.

Chrisk

What do you mean?

Oh ok, thanks for the tip(s).

What are all you guys running as far as tire and rim sizes?

Thanks!

dunno the offset, but i'm running 16x7 with 225/50's.. It's pretty close, but it fits with zero rubbing.

I'm running 18x8, +30 mm offset up front with 225/40/18. I could run 235's, but they'd probably rub the fender a little. In the rear I have 18x9, +30 mm offset in the rear with 275/35/18. This MAY rub the fender, but I may get by without having to roll the fenders. I won't know for sure until I get my new ignition sensor and can start my car.

Looks cool!

I'm starting to get the feeling that a 9inch wide rim with 235's in the front is going to be a problem.

Thanks!
Are you talking about the wheels for sale on the parts trader? I think they were 17x9, +40mm, 17x10, +45 mm. Those wouldn'r fit. The fronts would rub the sorings, and the rears would rub the trailing arms.

Chrisk

Ya, i am talking about those...

I agree, they wont fit.

Thanks again!

Now if you also bought a 3rd gen with the wheels they'd work; but that would be one expensive set of wheels.

Chrisk

Ya, and who wants a 3r gen anyway?

(I better run for cover...)

As you can tell by my signature, I have a 2nd gen fetish.
