RX7 caliper and bracket Roll Call

[dbith57]

which body rx-7 do these calipers swap from?

[JinormusJ]

Basically I want to know who is running the brakes and what wheels you are using. I tried to install mine today with 16" style 5's and there is no way that wheel combo will fit the brakes. Neither will the BBS RS in 16"

were these with or without spacers? I want to run a RX-7 BBK and e39 Style 5s. Is it an offset issue or is the issue with the inside wheel walls? (Does it not clear the spokes or the walls?)

I was thinking of painting the calipers... Can you recommend a good paint. I wanted to do purple but too hard to find. I guess I have to do black or red as usual

Yellow? I would suggest another color, but I'm doing that color and I wanna be swaggin on my own :mrgreen:


Also, do you guys know if I can not run 4 lugged Corrodo Calipers? I'm doing a 5 lug swap, and I would still love to rune an rx7 BBK, but don't exactly know if that's possible. Anyone come across a 5 lug variant that might work..?



My vote is in for sticky. Best informative thread I've read this year

Hello again. I was wondering if my 16x7 Alpina wheels will clear. They are et28 and I think they are supposedly the 1982 model. Will they clear.

Just making sure. I got a set of front powerslot corrado g60 rotors for this kit. I am going to need to shave the inside hub of the rotor 1mm for them to fit on the e30 hub right?

That's exactly right. The VW rotor centerbore is 65mm, E30 is 66mm.

Hello everyone. I am new to r3v. I wanted to know if my alpina 16x7 et28 wheels will clear the rx7 BBK or if I will have to get spacers. I am really interested in the kit. https://sites.google.com/site/e30bra...30_RX7_CORRADO

my esm 7.5 002s required a 3mm spacer. Not sure how different the backs of the low offset 9s are.

I was going to be putting these brakes on tomorrow (just got the adapter brackets in yesterday). I picked up new rubber parts store brake lines and they are not bubble flared, they are regular double flare? This seems odd to me? Do I not need the adapters? Has anyone come across this before?

[frankie591]

Has anybody tried the 16x7.5 throwing star reps? I know they fit a massive bbk behind them, but I don't know if the rx7 setup requires more clearance than the willwood calipers.

Does anybody know if 16x9 ESM 002 et 10's would work? I'm guessing I'd have to run spacers which would push the wheel out way too much.

[2002maniac]

You are correct. Those wouldn't be ideal.

[tommyp]

From what i gather the spoke design on a set of BBS RM's would be a problem, correct? 15x8 with a 13 mm offset?

[2002maniac]

I believe the trm 15x8 were confirmed to fit with light grinding of the fluid passage on the caliper. I still have line adapters if anyone needs them.

[Mullet Bullet]

I am also interested in this info. And would these brakes fit with the TRMotorsport C1 15x8s?

Bump, looking for the same info if the tr c1's will clear in 15x8
