I did a search did not find any info, will RX8 wheels fit on a FD?

 

Yep, they'll fit, but FYI, they're narrower than stock FD wheels (7.5" IIRC).

 

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.

 

I have seen a FD in person with 8 wheels, looked very nice IMO....pics @ http://www.carlosprinting.com/wan/dave/

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....

 

Check out this app:

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.

 

So will the tires rub on the inner fender?

 

Probably not w/ stock suspension but you increase that possibility when you lower the car.

 

Anyone know how heavy the RX-8 wheels are? Nice thing about the stock 7 16" wheels is that are reasonably lightweight I think.

 

here are a few pics of mine with rx-8 wheels on it with the stock tire size, and they do work dont listen to anyone that says they wont. but they dont look that good to me, they were on there when i bought it and have since gone with ssr sp1's.

 

i saw an FC on cardomain that had them on there car... i didnt think they looked that good until he painted them to match the car but i like them, i think theyre slick
