Post by Smiller18 »

Does anyone know if these wheels would work on a S3 RX7?

You can use this website to check against your stock specs

Being 14” and 4x114.3 is fine .. but I’m not sure about the width and offset against stock.. also check the centre bore of the wheels would fit the stock hub .. you can use spigot rings if it’s bigger than stock

These aren't needed when using tapered wheel nuts, as the nuts centre the wheel ;) . No harm in using them - just unnecessary haha

+15 or 0 will be fine on the front. May need to roll the lips and a very slight pull depending which you put up there. But the front guards are super easy to pull, just being a single sheet of steel

I run 14x7 ET0 on the rear of my series 3. It is a tight fit and will definitely need a roll and pull. As the outer body panel is also attached to the inner arch, it is difficult to pull. But still do-able. I'd say +15 would probably just need the lips rolled

Not the best picture of mine. But should be good enough :lol:

Those are nice wheels :thumbup:

How do you want them to fit? Do you want rim and tyre poking outside the arch? How low is it and what mods? Do you run coilovers, camber plates, rolled arches, arch liners removed or trimmed? Do you want a more stock fitment or more of a show car/stance fitment? Do you want big balloon tyres like stock or a track car or stretched tyres?

the et 15 will be fine and fit flush, so will want stretched tyres to fit flush with no poke. ET0 will poke a lot on the rear and on the front with stock parts.


Best way would be to fit the et15 on the rear, and use the et0 on the front with camber plates, roll the arches and run something like a 185/55 or smaller.

S3s need very high offset and et0 typically pokes a lot.

I run 25 or higher offset on my cars, with a wider wheel set up, or et 15 on a 6.5".
