RX8 Wheels

SO I've got a chance at a set of these here locally. Only wants $275 for them, tires are shot, ad's been up on CL for a month & a half so I think I can bump him down a bit. Maybe $200.

I just want to verify that these fit 100% no problem on stock suspension (2009 MS3) with 235/40/18 tires. (Or can I go bigger sidewall to close up the gap?)

Sorry, but I'm totally anal about this kinda thing...and I'm also a n00b when it comes to wheels on the MS3...

235/40/18 will work fine with stock suspension. I had that setup with RX-8 rims on my Speed3 for a year and never scraped. Granted...I never had heavy loads in the back.
