I have a set of 18" rims off of a 2004 RX-8. They are in very good shape other than one has a very slight 2" patch of curb rash thats not very deep and not very noticeable. These will include the TPM sensors which work fine. The tires have about 15k miles on them and will need replacement soon, but they are road worthy for a while. I have pictures available. These will fit FD's as well, but nothing older(TII's, GXL's, etc..) unless you have a widebody and want to use wheel spacers. I had to find this out the hard way, thats why I have these

I am asking $500 + shipping. I am taking a loss on these. Please, please, somebody buy them . Thanks alot. Email me at rx7onfire@aol.com if you are interested.

Well, I saw a pic of an FC with the wheels on it, so I got in touch with the guy and he said they bolted right on, so I bought em. When I couldnt get them on, the guy tells me "Oh yeah, you need spacers and a widebody, sorry." So i'm stuck with em.

You don't need a widebody....just some spacers...I mounted a set on my boy's 90 GTU with some 8mm spacers. just need some long studs.

why would you need spacers AND a wide body? if you need spacers in the first place you dont wanna add more width to the car bc youre just gonna need bigger spacers

that kind of thing happened to me, i bought fd wheels without doing any research. I sold them at a major loss. Shipping those did not agree with my check book. Go to www.tirerack.com and buy your future wheels there. Thats your best bet.

you can make them fit with spacers... im sure the spacers are cheaper than the loss you're willing to take

Well, i'm thinking that with spacers it will set them too far out and they will rub on the front fender. Anybody know any different?

Use the spacers, you'll be fine...use a 225-40-18 tire...works like it was meant to be there from the factory.
