    RX7 caliper clearance

    Does anyone know how much more clearance I need on the rx7 caliper vs OEM?
    Running 17” so diameter is no problem, just thickness.

    Thank you!

    With euro weaves you will need a ~10mm spacer in front...

      I plan on running redrilled 17” style 5s with a 10mm spacer.
      Thanks!

        Offset for those style5s is et20, so you'll be ok but have less room for a bigger tire.

            If you roll and pull they work. I had an 18mm spacer out front and 23mm in the back, when i had those wheels., an 205/45s square set up. I had some rubbing on the back tires sidewall, but I learned to live with it.

              10mm spacer will not clear stock 15" euroweaves, well didn't for me anyway.

              I ground down the nub about halfway and just have clearance with 12.5mm spacers. So don't know where that leaves you with the style 5's, won't really know for sure till you try
