hey guys i have spent a good 3-4 hours searching i cant find the answere i am looking for. if i run the rx7 16 inch wheels and hoosier QTP are coilovers absolutly needed thanks a lot. and if so is there anyone that has a set of wheels and tires that are looking to upgrade and wanting to sell them pm me.

 

Thats easy to figure out.

Find out the offset of the RX7 wheel
Subtract the number (in mm) of the front spacer required to run the fronts
Go to 1010tires.com and check the wheel offset calculator
Type in the stock wheel setup (8" 38mm offset) and compare it to both the effective offset of the front and rear on the RX7 wheels
See what it tells you for the inner clearance of the wheel - If you lose more than 18mm you won't have enough space

This will assure rim fitment, whether or not the tire will hit, I cannot help you with.

My guess is no you don't need them.

 

No, you do not.

I run a 20mm spacer up front. No spacers in the rear.

 

^ all u need is 20mm spacers up front. make sure the front wheels have the 50 marked on the outter rim..

 

Look at my garage in my profile. I have stock bilsteins with lowering springs up front for aero. Coilovers aren't needed for them.

 

How about the lug nuts? I see people using the stock lugs. Do you have to run them or can you run aftermarket?

 

Stock or aftermarket is fine.

 

I run extended studs and a slip on spacer so I run open lugs. The FD wheels also use a conical seat lugnut and the factory ones aren't. Could you use factory lugs? Probably, but being as cheap as they are I got another set that fit better.

Muteki super tuners I picked up in the for sale section, the black matched, I was stoked.

 

I had to pick up a set of open top lug nuts from autozone so you might have to do that.

 

I have open lugs on my car now. It's just almost ever picture I found they were using stock lugs. Thanks I'll use my open lugs when my spacers come in.

 

thanks guys i wasnt to sure i am getting coil overs definitely in the near future but i got a great deal on these rims and tires with out 1 pass on them i could not pass up 800 picked up for all 4 tires with rims.

 

Thats a great deal, I have about 1k in my wheels, tires and spacers. I also have two that are slightly warped and wont fit of stock front brembos. Last year I put them on the rear and didn't feel anything on any of my passes. A few local FD owners say its extremely common to get two that are off the front of an FD that are warped slightly if the owner was hard on the brakes or tracked the car. Needless to say in the near future Ill just buy some rotas for drag wheels.
