I did a search so i hope i dont **** anyone off. But has anyone put the stock rx8 18"s on an FD. I have a Stock 16's on my 93 right now, and i want to keep it in the mazda family. anyone anyone? pics?

 

The search isn't working very well right now, it's been discussed many times....

Yes, they'll fit just fine, they are +50 offset, same as stock FD wheels. IMO, they won't look good -- the RX-8 wheels are too sharp-edged and 21st century to go good with the FD body lines. 18x8 are also quite skinny on an FD. Finally, you'll have to mount new tires on them as the stock RX-8 tires are an inch too tall.

 

Thanks for your reply. I photoshoped them in and would love to get some opinions.

 

What would you recommend for tire size on these rims? Let me add that this is my daily driver, and i'm going to park my 89 vert for the weekends.

 

the real rims i want is these, but can't find them.

 

235/40 18

Those wheels above are custom made for the FD in Japan. They are very expensive, even used (and rare, so hard to get). Similar wheels would be the BBS RG-R, which don't have super friendly FD offsets.

They might be hp evo's. Whats the pros and cons about staggering wheels?



These are the evo's. i wonder if i could get the efini or "flying m" center caps to fit.

The stats are.

4 wheels,COLOR HYPER SILVER LIGHT, Model EVO, Made by HP DESIGN wheels, size 18x8 front and 18x9 for the back staggered fitment, bolt pattern 5x114.3 with a 38 offset.

 

i believe the ones you want are a BBS RGRs that were made for Mazda. with a little work, i would think you could get the "flying M" caps in there, though, it might take a little machining.

 

anyone know any pics of FD with those RX8 rims or any other mazda stock rims 17" and up?
