There are several threads on this.....
They ARE actually 18x8, same width as the stock FD wheels. However, the RX-8 uses a 1-inch taller tire size (225/45 18) so you couldn't use tires already mounted on them. Also, quite frankly, the modern wheel styling looks like **** on an FD.

Thanks for the info guys. I found a set really cheap, just thought I would get them for an extra set of wheels. 200.00 for the wheels, have to be worth that IMO.

What does this mean? You can't use the tires that comes stock on the wheels for the RX8 on an 94 RX7?
Explain....

Plug in 225/50-16 for "Stock tire" and 225/45-18 for "New tire" and going by the numbers, you'll see that the latter is over 1" taller.
