Rx-7 Wheel Offset? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Anybody know the offset for the 2 gen rx7's? I've got an '88 TII and I wondered if I could run stock rx8 rims since I've seen them on craigslist for cheap.

cheap but heavy... run FD wheels instead.. lighter and can be found cheap

The FD wheels will fit the FC!?! I would have gotten the one's a member on here was selling a while back if I would have known that earlier. Sorry I'm a noob to the rx world even if I've had mine for a year now.

You will need spacers to run FD or RX8 wheels.

The stock TII wheels come with a 40et offset and they are already close to the strut with a 225/50 tire. The FD and RX8 wheels are both 8 inch wide and have a 50et. Some 25mm spacers would work for them. I agree with amp, go with the FD wheels.
