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

 

yes but you need a spacer. Get ready to pay though, those things are expensive. Of course a friend of mine can get them for cheaper.

cheaper? so how much we talkin? and what is the spacer for

 

Space is to make up for the differnce in offset

 

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

 

I think he used a 5/8 spacer in the front.




PM "Orionsky88" for questions

 

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?


What does "cheap" mean??

 

cheap=stolen





j/k

 

They are 18's.


I know someone selling a set for $500

 

Is there anything special you gotta do besides the spacer to have 18" rims fit an FC?


And whos your freind thats selling them for $500 and where? I assume their 18"s as well??

 

is it just me or does anything past a 17 inch wheel make a fc look like a hot wheel car?

 

It's just you. Check out my 18" "Hot wheels " car....

 

I want a Hot Wheels car like that.........

 

hey chinooooooo nice car man!!!love the rims, **** i love the hole car...

 

i Like the look of the rx8 rims on the fc

 

I like the way those rims look; is that the same tire size that comes on the rims stock? Where can you get a 5/8 spacer at?

 

those actually look small on the 7...but it could be the angle

 

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.

 

maybe it has to do with how the car is lowered, and how the spacing is done. very nice red vert--jeremie

 

I think the rx-8 wheels look great on that rx-7!

That red vert was looking ****** fabulous too!

 

I wouldn't get anything bigger than a 17" rim for my FC.
