Wheels are wheels, they can all be made to fit, some straight on some with some adaption, what you need to realize is how many series and models of the RX7 were there? Need to be a tad more specific...

Linking to 10 different pics does not help.
Start by going HERE and having a read first.

Also have a read of THIS. Understanding what you have and what you need to confirm makes buying wheels easier.

^^^e.g of a supplier
and i would definitely read what eltnot posted, you'll need the specs of current wheels and stuff, so u can decide what size rim (width etc) tyre (etcetc) and the offset.. and make sure they fit over your brakes.... should be simple but can be difficult

Just know this. You need a PCD of 5x114.3 No wider then 8"s no bigger then 19"s and no lower offset then 20.

Re: Rx7 style rims... On an Fto
With the right offset they could work, but you wouldn't be able to go to full lock I'd imagine. Also stretched tyres would help a lot in this area at reducing scrubbing.phunkydude wrote:^How the heck did Tohmez shove in 9.5 wide rims on his fto and drove home without the guards rolled or arch pumped.
