Wheels are wheels, they can all be made to fit, some straight on some with some adaption, what you need to realize is how many series and models of the RX7 were there? Need to be a tad more specific...

Also have a read of THIS. Understanding what you have and what you need to confirm makes buying wheels easier.

^^^e.g of a supplier

and i would definitely read what eltnot posted, you'll need the specs of current wheels and stuff, so u can decide what size rim (width etc) tyre (etcetc) and the offset.. and make sure they fit over your brakes.... should be simple but can be difficult

With the right offset they could work, but you wouldn't be able to go to full lock I'd imagine. Also stretched tyres would help a lot in this area at reducing scrubbing.
