I was looking at getting rims for my 1986 Base RX7. The ones i found are the Motegi MR8s 16x7 with +42mm offset will these fit.

 

Yes, those will work with 205/55/16 up front. You could go with 225/50/16 in the back if you want.

 

I like them 7 stars from pepboys..Gun metal right?

Take your stock rim off...

You should see your rim size inside of th ebakc side of the rim....14x7? then look around for your offset..

Since the rim you want has a very high POSTIVE off set..its made for a FT wheel drive car..all you can do is get the rim..put it on..IF* it hit the calipers a little then you can buy spacers..thats not problem..

*if this is really the rim you want*



Tire size is your option..remeber if you have lowered yoru car..and depends how much..will determin the series you want..meaning how low the side wall..



A 205/55/16 up front.225/50/16 in the back ..Is not really a big deal..



I got 215/45/16 for my first gen..



I personally think you should go wider in the FT and REAR ..

 

I know the bolt pattern for a 88 is 5x114.3 but what's the stock offset?



The reason I ask is because my Prelude has the same bolt pattern and the stock offset I think is +55 ... I also have rims that are +47 ... I'm curious if they would fit. I guess there's also the other dimensions.



My stock rims are 16x6.5 5x114.3 +55 and tires are 205/55/16.



Think that would fit? Just curious.

 

The stock offset is +38 mm. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.htm does a good job on explaining offsets.
