RX7 BBK.. will a ET15 with 25mm spacer clear it?

[IminDiegoTriick]

I just bought Rx7 Calipers, & began preparing it for installation. What Im curious is either any of you have wheels with an offset of 15 be able to run it?

I have a 25 mm spacer or the fronts and rears.. but I am curious if it will clear.

Thanks!

Your saying the wheel has a offset of 15mm with the spacers? That depends on the wheel. Some will, some wont. Does your wheel have a big lip?

[IminDiegoTriick]

Damnt. yes it's 16x9 .

I guess Im just going to have to find out when I get her in thanks

[JeremyE30autox]

How big is the lip on the wheel?

[IminDiegoTriick]

16x9 ET 15
3 inch lip

I HOPE that I can fit them. seriously.
I've checked the Rx7 roll call thread and no one said anything about truly running wheels like these

25 mm spacer on them

I'm just going to guess a no by looking at those wheels. However part of your post is confusing.

Do the wheels have a 15mm offset with the spacer.
Or do your wheels themselves have a 15mm offset and then you add the 25mm spacer? That would make the wheels have a -10mm offset.

Your last post is slightly confusing.

This. I do have a negative 10 mm from the hub thanks for your help by the way. I was looking at the calipers and started doubting that it might not fit. Even with my negative offset.

Big sad face

Holy fuck. With a -10 offset you might be able to get them in there. What does the back of your wheel look like? Any dish in the spokes at all? Or are they flat?

My wheel has an offset of 14mm including my spacers and i think I should be able to fit the RX7 calipers. However the lip on my wheel is only about 1.5 inches.

Found this picture on google. But there is no dish. The trouble is.. OEM brakes look really close to the wheel still too..

You can see the caliper slightly.. not the best angle

[JeremyE30autox]

I know there is a template and measurements out there in a thread somewhere that will help you out. It tells you just how much farther out the rx7 caliper sticks out than the e30 one. I think if you do a little searching you should be able to find it.
