      Did you ever fit those esm 008? Interested in those rims myself. What tire size are you running?

        Anyone fit these behind euroweaves yet??? they are 15x7 ET24. I'm thinking I need a 8-10mm spacer.

            Did you get them to fit the Keskins? I always loved those wheels. Be sure to post some pics!

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

                  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.

                    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?

                      You are correct. Those wouldn't be ideal.

                        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.

                          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.

                            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?

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

                                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
