#11599, "3rd Gen RX-7 Rim Q's..."


          

Well, I finally replaced my stock 14's (or whatever) w/ these rims & just put them on yesterday...

How do U put the caps on the front tires? The nut 4 the driveshaft sticks 2 far out. Bsides not wanting 2 advertise 4 Mazda, is there somewhere I can buy new caps that mayB bubble out a little or just not have the emblem? MayB put a flat disc/spacer Between the rotor & the rim 2 push the rim out some so the nut doesn't stick out as far (don't think it'd B 2 good an idea though)?

Do I need 2 buy new lug nuts? the angle of the sink that's supposed 2 go in2 the rim is greater than the RX-7, the flat part doesn't contact it... while it IS secured tight & is not going anywhere, just wasn't sure if I should still change them.

The knuckle get's VERY close 2 the tire on the back, the front is fine, is there some adjustment I need 2 make 2 put more room Btween the 2 in the back?

R there any other adjustments I need 2 make given that I've gone from a 14" 2 a 16x8" rim? I've got 'Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Position' tires @ 225/50ZR16. The actual tire doesn't go up 2 much more than my old 14" Michellin 195/70R14's, do I need 2 adjust the speedometer, how? I've got the manual on CD, but didn't really C a section 4 it.

Also, it did jack up the car pretty good... what's the cheapest thing I can do 2 lower the car a bit while I save up 4 some Shunk2 coilovers?

They ride awesome, huge difference!!! I did loose a little bit of the low end, but not very much... my high end seems alot more responsive. Now I actually have 2 try 2 spin my tires out, the smoke great

Thanx 4 the info,
