Running RX-7 Wheels

If I want to run stock FD rx7 rims, will I need a spacer? They are 16x8 and weight 15 lbs with an offset of 50mm. Sorry I do not know much about wheels.

Wrong bolt pattern. Your car is 5x100 (five bolts on a 100mm circle) but the RX-7 and most other Japanese sports/luxury cars are 5x114.3.

You would need a spacer/adapter to change the bolt pattern.

Not sure if I had a brain fart or a finger fart, but yes, that is correct. Oops!

There are two versions of the wheel just FYI. There's a reinforced version that's a little heavier.

Reinforced version on the right.
