15" wheels on MarkIII

supraman121 · 08-08-2007, 04:27 AM

Why not put new tires on the stock rims and buy new valve steams? Thats probly were there leaking from, But the rx7 wheels will look nice.

that will be amazing if you can 15" rims that can clear the calipers

please read up, before telling them to install something that cant fit

i tried 16" with a 38mm offset and they wouldnt fit my car

so i can only imagine how a 15" rims will fit,
maybe the rear, but definitely not the front calipers

What kind of wheels did you try to put on it? The stock sawblades are 16x7s with a +35 mm offset.

No shit... at any rate I didn't say they'd all fit. A friend of mine and a member on SM are running 15's, I'm pretty sure they're both running the stock brakes too.

i wanna see, cuz like i said, i tried 16" and the front calipers were rubbing against the wheel,
and im saying this from experience, not from a friend

I'm not talking about someone I've just seen around, I've driven it. I'll see about getting you some pics. By the way... if you're still running the stock brakes and you couldn't get 16's to fit they were either very oddly shaped or something's very wrong with your brakes. The stockers, both 5-spoke and sawblades, are 16's. One's a 37 offset the other 38. Do a search on SM, there's a thread about running 15's (with some pics, IIRC).

15's can fit all the way around it depends on the offset and the specific shape and design of the rim.
