Thanks, I'll take a look

Yeah as I signed on this morning and came to this forum the first thing I seen was "can't find rims". As a vet member to some MX racing and quad forums I know about the "use the search feature first and then ask" and about reviewing other threads first but I guess I get an "F" on attention span today/yesterday.

Thanks I'll keep the faith though

It should bolt right in. I know the '83 models had slightly different joints at the driveshafts and were a little smaller but still fit in the stock bolt points and then in '84 or '85 they made the rear axle and diff bigger. They also dropped the mount points of the sway bar like 20mm to allow for better traction.

Either way if you have a GS with drums and have a GSL LSD rear with discs you can bolt it in. It'll just take a little work otherwise to make sure everything works.

I don't have the gsl rear-end but i know where one is at...I just didn't really look/measure anything or otherwise purchase it because I wanted to be sure it would work first. Thanks for the info, that is a relief to know that it will fit.

I went to "cant find wheels" thread and went to that e-bay link and those freakin wheels are awesome, but sadly rare.

Yea, those are definately nice wheels. I wanted some for my GSL but my GSL didn't last long enough to go that far.

Fibremaz over at RX7Club.com uses wheel adapters to change bolt patterns to the more common 4x114.3 which is on the GSL-SE. Much more of a selection in wheels.

Hmm. I've heard/read about these adapters...Can you try to answer me one thing though?

It seems if you put wheel adapters(being 3/4"-1" or more thick)wouldn't a typical 4x114 custom wheel/tire want to rub your fenders? I mean that would make the wheel/tire stick out that much more...and I'm only concerned about this because there seems to be very little tolerance or clearance already on the RX7?

I did go to panasport but it seems that they only have the 8 spoke (or similar)type wheels like miata wheels or something? I'm thinking about doing the wheel adapter thing opposed to changing my rear-end (since it will just be a cruiser anyway, not a racer). Although Panasport did have some decent racing wheels...I wonder why they say for racing only, not for highway use...if it's good enough to haul *** in a race seems like it would be ok for the hwy, teehee.

i have owned a fb, had an 85 gsl . 15x7 rims from bbs looked great. now as far as my comment i do apologize for it. i was way to harsh. i was in a bad mood yesturday from dealing with a few customers who think ebay is the **** and i am loosing out big time and im tired of it. so sorry man cought me on a bad day. and to the guy who says internet is the **** i find it better to deal one on one with people and be social not be stuck behind some computer. you cannot belive everything you read online.

From what I've seen people have fit 8" wide wheels and tires in the wheel wells. Especially if you are in the 13-14" realm. Now people have used fender flare rollers to give some more room or if you are good with body work you can take VW Cabrio fender flares for the front and rear and mold them on.
