15" wheels on MarkIII
Has anyone tried 15" wheels on a mark 3? Will they clear the stock brakes?
I have an '89 non-T daily driver. It needs some new wheels as the factory saws aren't holding air very well. I can get ahold of some 2nd gen rx-7 wheels (basic 5 spoke deal) for a good price. Any thoughts? Kev |

I roll 14's on my Nova. 11.50's @ 125 n/a. Adding the hose next. I like smaller wheels and bigger tires. Old school, I guess.

Some 15's will clear the brakes.... some won't. You'll need to test fit them to know for sure.

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

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.
