The question is if the bolt pattern is correct for our cars. They show 5x115 which should be 5x114.5 which is correct size for an rx-8. Ask them to take a pic of the label on the box and one of the numbers stamped on the back of the wheel.

The stock wheels are 18x8 +50. These are 18x7.5 +38. They will stick out 12mm more than the stock wheels but are .5 in narrower. But the price is cheap for new wheels. They would require hub rings, lugs, mount and balance. Scott's tire guy could do this for you. You could fit the stock tires 225-45-18 or wider 245-40-18 on these.

I have like a 1/4" gap in the rear I'm going to need to raise the car up this weekend at some point while I'm down there.

I think I should be able to make the drive without damaging anything to important!
