+1. They do look good though.

It’s a 40 offset. I can get 1 piece of paper in between the caliper and the rim. If it was a 19mm spacer it would not fit.
Rx-7 wheels are nice, but around here they are really hard to find.

Rota makes a 16x8 in a 40+ offset. I wonder if those will work, even with a spacer

Are you running a spacer with the rotas?

Not certain, but it might work.

With the QTP's an 8" rim would not make that much of a difference. The tire is very square (there's a right angle where the sidewall meets the tread). I don't think it would widen the contact patch at all. I've cut many low 1.3 60 fts on this setup, so the 7" rim works pretty well!

Any and all of my customers can use these tires free of charge, just let me know when you need them.

Not to mention a 7" rim will weigh less than a 8" rim

It sounds very tempting but Id be nervous about a 1mm gap between the rim and calipers!
