They do on my car. Hehe, sorry.

BTW - stock RX-8 wheels are 18x8 +50 offset and they do fit on a P5.

I'm contemplating doing a set of 18x8 50mm offset rims on my car with 245/40/18 tires however i'm not yet sure if that will fit without any rubbing. Most people on these boards with 18x8's seem to be running 235's. So no I dont think that those would fit, i'm not 100% sure but 8" wide generally seems to be the widest wheel you can fit on our cars without rubbing issues.

I've seen an 8.5 wheel on this car, but with a 45 offset on stock tires. It fits, but it sticks out just a little. There was another 8.5 wide but didn't know the offset, i think was a little bit higher. I hopoe someone figures it out, because if this fits, 48 offset would too.

i remember somebody was running 18x8.5 +48 offset and had no issues. i wasn't sure either so i'm getting advans 18x8 +48 offset using stockers

i run 18X8.5 with a 47 offset. 245/40/18. they will rub in the back if you put much weight in ur car. i rolled the rear fenders though and have not rubbed since.

hey speedy614 is your car lowered at all? Also how much did it cost to get the rear fender rolled, cause im interested in getting 8.5.

 

[speedy614]

its stock height... and i rolled the fenders so im not sure how much it would be. i want to lower it but i'll need to find a setup that will work
