HELP: 16" Enkei RPF1's (Will they Fit over Brembos)?

Hey guys as many people know, some have been running Mazda rx7 FD 16" Wheels w/ spacers over factory brembo brakes.

People do this so they can run Hoosier QTP tires on Evos while retaining stock brakes.

Here is the spec on the Rx7 rims

16x8 +50 offset

Specs on Eneki Rpf1

16x7 +43

Do you think these wheels will fit over factory brakes???

Obviously i must use a spacer, size?

I believe you need a 20mm spacer on the front for the RX-7 wheels. I'm sure you know that although the FD RX-7 wheels look the, there are actually 2 different designs. If the Enkies are anything similar the one that fits, I dont see why they wouldn't fit.

That would pretty cool if the Enkeis fit with some type of spacer like the mazda wheels!

One of the Wheel stores should make the test and report! If they fit i guess a lot of people who drag race will get them!

Yes, those wheels have two different designs, even though the face look the same. I can't find something to show you. Only one version fits over the Brembos.
