RX 8 Wheels on a FD

Has anyone put OEM RX 8 wheels on their FD? I am considering them for my FD with rolled fenders and stock suspension. I know they are 18" with 40 offset. I would use the RX 8 OEM size tires as well.

I would love to too, yet I cant see myself buying those Rims to stay with 225 is it? No thanks, the FD needs at least 245 in stock form so you dont chirp 2nd.

I'll agree on the idea, but I haven't actually seen it done yet.

jrave-----that doesnt count, they were on the car when you bought it.. hehe So do you still have it? Go anywhere with it? Daikokufuto?

On the RX8 wheels thing, I would say they are a desired taste, since the offset doesnt complement the RX7 sport style. They look ok though, I saw them on what now is JRAVEs FD, and they look pretty decent..
