Corvette rims

Will they fit? Their 19x10.0 offset is 30mm.

This for a 3rd gen? The bolt pattern isn't corret. The RX7 is 5x114.3 and Vette is 5x120.7.. I have a set of C6 wheels (the 18x8.5 and 19x10) and can check when I get home, but doubt it would fit 'right'

You will need a pattern changing spacer. Usually they are about 1" wide so figure that with your offsets. IMO they would be a great choice if your going widebody on an FD otherwise not a good fit.

So it's OK to put Vette wheels on the car but not a Vette engine?

I'm just sayin'....

I cant remember the company I was going to use... Do a google search for bolt pattern adaptor and there will be lots of options... starting pretty cheap. I was going to use ones by a company that would custom machine them to order so they would be hubcentric on both the weels and the hub, I think they were about $400 per set and IMO well worth it.

5x115 is actually the chrylser bolt pattern, and is not the same as 114.3. they fit, but they fit kinda funny, and the lugs dont center right. not really safe

PCD is wrong.

The adapter is usually 25 mm thick so take that into consideration too.

Is there any high quality 1piece aftermarket wheel that is a split 5-spoke resembling the C6 Z06 wheel? The Advan model5 or maybe the CCW 505A are the closest ones I can think of.

I have nothing against V8's in an RX-7



Man wish I was able to just test fit it right now. Grah...But from what it sounds...no go? Probably with modification (and I'm not up for that just for a rim + not being safe) it'll happen?
Well glad to know the bolt pattern of the FD now. I'll just look for rims with same pattern. Oh how I hate rim shopping.

Yea my bad...Rims were something that were always at the back of my mind but never have I really looked into it. The rims I have now are the same rims that came with it when purchased...and ppl keep talking **** about it so now thanks to those ppl I have to spend more on what I don't really care for...damn you conformity!
