Ummm I dunno you can ask mazdaspeedwerx. He's the one I bought it from. Fits really well though.

I am going to run RX8 Wheels as well....And I rolled the rears pretty damn good.Same one I used.Turns out the rubbing I was encountering was the tire just barely kissing the inside of the inner fender with the combo I am running now. (Which I only encountered with 4 of us in the car ... coming back with a full load from Costco lol). I've got front OEM P5 bump stops in the rear - which works great on the MSP, but you need about another 1/4" of bump stop on the P5 due to the more narrow rear fender wells. I had RX8 wheels - will you be running a 5mm spacer in the rear? 215/35 or 40/ 18's?
I am running 215.35/18's as well.
Why would I neeed to run a spacer in the rear..I had not planned on it?
Is there something I am missing?
Fill me in here?
Depends. What will you be using for struts? You will have no issues with clearance in the front; But if you are using an OEM style strut/spring combo, the RX8 wheels may be too close for comfort in the back and you'll need to bring them out a bit. With a 5mm spacer, they'll still fit under the fender without sticking out ... however, there's no getting around the fact that they are an 8" wide wheel which measures 9" from lip to lip.
You'll have more room with those (former owner of K-Sports) ... guess you'll find out when you mount up ...
