rear wheels will barely fit but you definitely need to roll your fenders

+35 offsets on 8.5" and 9.5" wide wheels are too much for an RX8?

a 35 is sketchy on a 8" wheel, unless all you care about is looks.

uuuuuu shame:/ I like the look of those wheels. If they will not fit unfurtunately I have to forget about them. Actually I am a little bit afraid to change the wheels from OEM to aftermaket ones. I am planning to take this car to Poland. They roads in there are not so straight as here, so I am afriad that aftermakret wheels might broke very quick. Unless I Will keep my OEM.

Wheels look good!

Did you email the seller to see if they have other offsets available?

Cool

Those wheels with that offset will work. I have a set of ADR's(battle exe) with 35mm offset in 8.5 and 9.5 widths and they work perfectly. I also have a friend in PR with the same exact ones youre inquiring about in 35mm offset in an rx8 too. The issue is the tire. If you dont want to roll your fender then you must put 255-40-18 in the rear. I have factory sized 225-45-18 in front with no issues whatsoever and they dont stick out from the side of the car, they look perfect. 255's look good in the rear and you dont need to modify anything. I later went with 275-35-18's and only then did it rub sligthly when taking a dip at highway speed with a passenger. I rolled my rear fender a little and it went away but it wasnt necesarry with 255's. Also, that offset on a 9.5" rim in the rear looks really good, lines up prefectly with the side of the car. They worked for me and I would've kept it with the 255's but I got a really good deal on the 275's...

here is a picture of my car with ADR's, 8.5" & 9.5" with 35mm offsets.

Tires in the picture are 225-45-18 front and 275-35-18 rear. If you go with 255 you wont have a problem with fitting them. Hope this helps....
