no spacer needed, although the hubs on the 2 front wheels will poke through the center caps. I shaved my hubs up a little bit. But you can probaby use a 2 to 3mm spacer and rememdy the problem.

Yeah, U don't HAVE 2 use a spacer... but I'd suggest it, also the tires in the back (depending on size) will also hit the control arm.

Nifty!

Like the guys said above, you don't NEED a spacer if you don't mind the center cap poking thru. Or you can just get a small spacer and you'll be fine. My friend has the RX7 rims on her Talon with 5mm spacers. Here's a pic....

goly shit those are sexy. how much would I pay to get a set of those? those look a lot better than most aftermarket rims, and they would be good for performance too, since I'm guessing that they are wider than most. if I could get them for pretty cheap, I might have to start looking. I want more pics!!!

Yes they are wider, 16x8 to be exact! And they also only weigh 13 lbs each!! My friend is actually selling those rims right now. She's going with a big brake upgrade, so she can no longer use 16" rims. They have Victoracer V700 245/45/16 race rubber on them. $600 + shipping. Add $50 if you want the set of 5mm spacers too.

More pics....

The 3rd Gen Mazda RX-7 rims R 16x8's weighing ~13lbs/ea... U can Xpect 2 pay ~$500 4 a set of 4 w/ tires. ThePartsTrader.com is where I found mine (Mazda > Mazda Rotary > Wheels & Suspension). There's usually @least 1 person selling a set @ any given time.

I paid $600 4 mine, but I got 4x 95% brand new Bridgestone S-02 Pole Positions, 2x 30% Yokowhatevero , and unchipped caps from a guy only 1.5 hours away (no shipping). That's 6 tires total My friend, copy cat , ALSO got a set (cause he liked mine) 4 like $350-400... but his tires were crap & needed 2 B replaced pretty soon + he had 2 pay shipping. So they're about $500+/-.

P.S.
allMotor, didn't 4get about U... I'm @ work, will EMail U when I get home & find my washers. Oh the joy of rummaging

ARGHhhhhhh, U beat me 2 it! LOL Also, just thought... U CAN put the caps on the back rims if U want, the hub pin doesn't stick through. Just B careful going around tight corners & watch 4 bumps cause U WILL hit.

Yep, that Talon in the pics I added above is a TSi AWD with the dual piston caliper brakes.

i couldn't find any. what should I search for? that site is confusing. tia.

EDIT: also, if I bought some without tires, about how much would it cost for a set? I want some good quality tires, without having to give up an arm and a leg.

Man these things are sweet, i used a 5/16's spacer which is a 1/4 basicly, man my car looks mean as hell now, i aldo decided to swap out the shitty 15$ rear camber mod for extreme motorsports 40$ camber mod, only i got it for 30 cause i work there now, any who i will post pics asap, most likely tomamrow when i have time to wash her up, but btw i went to the trak with them and went from a 16 flat to a 15.7, this is because of the wieght and i can launch now cause of the much much wider tire and traction i actually get! all the dsm guys at the track were in a trance staring at my car cause of the wheels and my 1/4 mile time
