I tried it and abandoned the idea. The extra thickness of the RX7 caliper means you need a spacer of around 12mm to move the inner face of the wheel away from the hub. 280mm VW G60 discs are the biggest you can fit with 15"BBS.
If I was to start again I would just go for the WMS setup.

I did this on my old cabby, I was running 17' Alpina Reps and still had to use 10mm spacers though i could have got away with a little less. The brakes were great but i never liked the look with the front wheels sticking out a bit. Personally I would not use this set up again.
