Ok, I found these kick *** wheels for winter the bolt pattern is 5x114.3....that is the typeR bolt pattern correct? Now i have to make sure the offset will clear the brakes and then they'll fit no prob right?

 

off of an RX-7...

"4-15" Wheels w/center caps from a Mazda RX7 5 lug car. Wheels fit 5 lug Rx7 cars from 1988-92.The wheels are aluminum with clear coat. Condition is average to good. One wheel has a little curb rash. "

 

that's the correct bolt pattern...find out what the offset is...being that the RX7 is a RWD car, it may not fit properly...

the R stock offset is +50, but spoon and mugen wheels come in +45 and +42...so something in that general vicinity should work...try b4 you buy if you can

 

Right, that's why I didnt but them yet. I hope this works out...

 

You'll want wheels with the same offset and also the same centerbore (it's 64 mm).

Plus, you'll need to try them on to make sure the spokes clear the calipers.

 

Also realize that depending on the width of the rim (6", 6.5", or 7") the necessary offset will be different.

 

um... bolt pattern is 5x100

 

NO, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3, like it was said the first time

You=Si=4x100

Me=Type R=5x114.3

any questions?

 

ah I thought the type r retained the 100 bolt pattern... good i never did a 5 lug swap I would of been fucked when I ordered my wheels Hahaha

 

yeah i second this thought. even if the offset and bolt pattern is good, without the correct center bore the wheel might not sit well on the hub

 

Ok guys the guy wrote back and this is what he said:


OK, here is what I have figured out so far:
Stamped on the wheels are 15x6JJ, so 6" wide I believe. also measured, looks about right.

Center bore is 2 - 5/16".

54 Stamped on the wheel, don't know what it means unless it's the offset. I have sent a couple e-mails to people I think will know. Just waiting to hear from them.

Let you know when I hear something.
Thanks


he sent me what looks like the service manual, and it lists the wheel size (15x6 JJ), offset (40mm), diameter of pitchcircle (114.3), 5 lugs, and aluminum material.


is 40mm too excessive?? im guessing yes? but remember i wont be doing any hard driving on these, since these are going to have snow tires mounted....its mostly for highway commute and daily driving.

anyone know how to convert 2 5/16" to metric?

SORRY YOUR JDMNESS *bows*

 

ttt

 

+40 is how Volk SE37k's come for the dc2 per Rays Engineering...in 17x7.5 configs.

 

I already told you what the center bore is in mm. Aren't you bothering to read the posts in the topic you started?

And the correct offset is 50 mm, not 40 mm.

 

yes i know that you told me. but this guy told me the centerbore in inches? im not too familiar with centerbore, is it measured in english and metric? I dont know how to do an english to metric or metric to english conversion which is why I asked about that...
and i know the stock offset is 50mm, which is why i asked, 40 isn't going to work, unless it was a bigger and/or wider wheel? i just needed confirmation, no need to get all pissed

 

well anyway due to the wrong offset, and the centerbore which i worked out to be ~ 58.7-59 mm, im not getting em. thanks for ur help guys

 

There are exactly 25.4 mm in an inch. To convert from inches to mm, multiply by 25.4. To convert from mm to inches, divide by 25.4.

 

2.3125 Inches = 58.7375 Millimeters
