make sure the bolt pattern is the same i believe the 8 is 5x114 or something like that, not sure what the bolt pattern is for the 7. and for the offset you can use this http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

rx7 is 5X114.3

I am running Enkei RP03 35mm offset in a 18x8.5 w/245/40/18 on all four corners. That is the limit on what would fit. I am on a Mazdaspeed suspension with no rubbing.

murix why did you go for teh 8.5" ide rims? they looks sweet. re-amemiya has teh same rims on their 8. loks great. but wouldn't 245/40/18's fit on the stock rims? i'm pretty sure a buncha' people on here have done it. don't get me wrong if i had teh money i'd get those rims or maybe some ro_ja by rays. :D ah if only my money tree would start growing.

cool thanks guys

Anytime, glad we could help!

Put some pics up later :D

murix

Because I could.

I did in fact put those tires on the stock rims the first time around and they worked great.

These are a little wider, a little lighter, a little farther out to the edges, and a little better looking. Minor changes add up to a big difference when done right in my book.

That should fit

Thanks murix

That is the EXACT size I want to get, great stuff. Lower 30mm without problem. GREAT!

The size shot makes me drool and the rear shot makes me high :p. They are great price cf. the Volks. They are light too. I think it is in a range of 8.x kg. Have you weight it?

that looks good, did you have to roll the fenders at all?

He searched yeah, but whoever this guy is gives terrible info...

The limit on what will fit is a 18x8.5 +35...

So tell me why the 18x9 +35's and 265's all around fit with no rubbing...

I love misinformation.
