rx8 wheels on a 7?
This is my first post and hopefully not my last. Does anyone know if RX8 wheels will fit on an 88 vert (5 lug)? If they would I think i might get me a set.
Thanks
Thanks

are spacers universal (i can get them anywhere) or are they made specifically for this job. Sorry for my ignorance but i never had to use spacers when i swapped rims
thanks

My understanding is that you would need a huge spacer, that the RX-8 wheel has an offset of about 60mm (while our cars have an offset of 40mm for up to a 7 inch width).
So then the smallest size RX-8 wheel is a 7.5 inch (which means you would need to add another 10mm offset to fit).
So a 30mm spacer seems a little out of place

Those are suprisingly good looking on that FC. What size rims are those? I was told that FCs could only hand a 17in x 7.5w wheel. Are there ways around what 'Big-O-Tires' has in their computers as the maximum size?

I saw one RX-8 where the wheel's spokes were wide in the center and tapered to a narrower end towards the edge of the wheel... basically the reverse of those and all '8 wheels I'd seen before. it look SO much better IMO, sitting side-by-side I would take the reversis in a heartbeat. they were also chrome.
