make sure the bolt pattern is the same i believe the 8 is 5x114 or something like that, not sure what the bolt pattern is for the 7. and for the offset you can use this http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

I am running Enkei RP03 35mm offset in a 18x8.5 w/245/40/18 on all four corners. That is the limit on what would fit. I am on a Mazdaspeed suspension with no rubbing.

murix why did you go for teh 8.5" ide rims? they looks sweet. re-amemiya has teh same rims on their 8. loks great. but wouldn't 245/40/18's fit on the stock rims? i'm pretty sure a buncha' people on here have done it. don't get me wrong if i had teh money i'd get those rims or maybe some ro_ja by rays. :D ah if only my money tree would start growing.

Because I could.

I did in fact put those tires on the stock rims the first time around and they worked great.

These are a little wider, a little lighter, a little farther out to the edges, and a little better looking. Minor changes add up to a big difference when done right in my book.

Thanks murix

That is the EXACT size I want to get, great stuff. Lower 30mm without problem. GREAT!

The size shot makes me drool and the rear shot makes me high :p. They are great price cf. the Volks. They are light too. I think it is in a range of 8.x kg. Have you weight it?

He searched yeah, but whoever this guy is gives terrible info...

The limit on what will fit is a 18x8.5 +35...

So tell me why the 18x9 +35's and 265's all around fit with no rubbing...

I love misinformation.
