17's?

Odd, I thought the RX-8 came stock with an 18x8 rim, 45MM offset IIRC.

Damn, just a little off.

+45MM is FD rims? Or did I pull that out of my ***? Or am I talking about dDub's new 5Zigens?

You would need spacers if the 50mm offset is correct.. or they will rub your strut.

just for a visual...



I think they look nice, on this one anyhow... now if they were just swapped onto a 7 with a different color\lip\ect they might be questionable.

18's are just too big for an FC in my opinion, i've never seen a set that didnt raise the car too high for my tastes.

you could get the 17 inch Mazdaspeed Rx-8 wheels. they're gunmetal magnesium wheels that weigh 15 pounds a piece. Pretty sweet wheels.
