3rd Gen RX-7 Wheels on the Pro5

[boostpower]

These are a little heavier than I wanted, but it's a bunch of tire. For my goof off street set up I couldn't be more happy with the way it turned out. Now I'm going to go enjoy them.

very nice wheels and color combination(drive2)

Yes...it's that amazing. (2thumbs)

I love being reminded about the Ol' Pro5. I do miss her.

Just gathering as much info as I can on the FD wheel for my track tires.

i have two sets. i'll probably be selling one. I'm glad you bumped this, too. I need to see what spacers I'll need.

dayumn, i was searching for a thread just like this for about an hour yesterday. and nothing came up.

I found a set of rx-7 wheels on craigslist locally...and was thinking of picking em up. I just wanted to find exact info on what needed to be done to make them fit good. thanks mayn.

I have my own set of (I think non-reinforced; need to check) FDs for autoX and this thread is a godsend. Still trying to gather all the info I need in terms of spacers and fitment on a sedan.

I'm running the same MS greens Justin ran for a while, with b-spec springs. From what I've gathered, I could run either a 3 or 5mm spacer in front (no need for hubcentric right?) unless I grind off some of the strut tab, and a 3mm spacer in the rear to make up for the lack of complete "boring" of the wheels to fit over the hub.

The other thing I'm not sure of is if a 225/50 will fit in the sedan without needing to roll the fenders...

Any advice is helpful as a lot of the info here is for a P5...

I just ordered a set of 3mm and 5mm spacers from here:

...and they served my purpose of test fitting the rims. Then I bought some good 5mm H&R Trak+. Now I'm just waiting for the tires to arrive.

you have a part number for the HR spacers? Were you running 5mm on all 4 corners?

Justin, when you ran the 15mm spacer, did you get longer studs, or did the spacers come with studs pressed in?

Part No. 10656710 found here:
http://hrsprings.com/scripts/appguide.php?Mode=Application+Guide&SubMode=Find2&Year=1999&ModelID=274&q=1999%20|%20MAZDA%20|%20Protege%205

My plan is to use them at all 4 corners.

If the above link doesn't work just look under Protege 5 in the application list.

They were the kind with the studs already in them.

Would you happen to have pics with the 15mm spacer...?
