You don't, not without 1/4 inch spacers or more. The caps won't fit without at least tht size spacer if not bigger. I would not get a bigger spacer just so you could put the caps on

I don't know of any, most people just run them without a cap. If you can get something custom made that'd be great.

You should NOT run the stock lug nuts! Get some aftermarket cone shaped lug nuts. They should cost about $1-$2 each, they will probably have a 30 degree cone pitch and I think ( I don't remember exactly) they will be a 12 by 1.5 inch thread pattern, or something like that. It will say it on the lug nut, I can check it when I get home.

Run a 1/8th inch spacer and you'll have no problems with the tire rubbing against the knuckle. The offset is different for the RX-7 rims than for a stock rim, a 1/8th inch spacer gets the offset within 0.8mm of stock. A 225 really needs that spacer, if you have a 205 you might not need one.

Don't worry about the speedometer, the tire diameter isn't really enough to worry about re-adjusting that. If you are lowered I'd gt an alignment, but for the most part there ins't anythng else you would relly have to adjust.

I'd just wait until I got the coilovers and not worry about it, but that's just me.

Actually you lost high end too, probably more than you realize. Trust me, I've drag raced with 195s on 14 inch rims and 225s on RX-7 rims. I very rarely use the RX-7 rims for drag racing anymore (the shootout was teh last time, and the year before I didn't use them at all for drag racing) and for a good reason, the 14s are very good in a straight line. I loose at least 2/10ths in the 1/4 mile, if not MORE, with the RX-7 rims and 225 tires compared to the 14s and 195 tires.
