Hi, I was wondering whether anyone had tried to use the new wheels off of an RX 8 on their FC with stock set up.
They are 18 x 8 with a 50 mm offset.
Will they fit ?
Please advise if you have and with what tire size.
Thank you
Paul

No, they do not fit.
The RX-8 runs the same width as the FD - 8.0".
There are numerous threads about fitting FD wheels on an FC.
The same applies to the RX-8 wheels.

Basically you need like a 1" spacer up front.
The rears fit fine.

Also, if it isn't obvious, you need 5-bolt hubs.
The bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3mm, so this doesn't fit on 4-lug FC's.

I think this car belongs to someone on this forum, not sure who though

Thanks to both of you guys for the reply. Great picture.
My FC came stock with 5 bolt hubs on 15 in ch rims. Just want to get some new rims this year.

Thanks again Paul
