stock wheel is 5.5 offset is (correct me if I'm wrong) + 25 I'll have to measure the rear end tomorrow from end to end. But the axel it self is 28 3/8" if that helps any.

Are you going with the SE rear for your RX3?

I took some measurements a while back for my REPU project. I came up with:
GSL-SE: 58 1/2" wide - Wheel flange to Wheel flange

This measurement is from each wheel mounting surface. This way your only variable is your wheel backspace and width.
