The offset is somewhere in the 30-35 range.

I'm sure you could make them fit with some fender mods. What size width are they?

Yes. It is 17x8. I would prefer not to modify anything. I forgot to mention the rx8 I have is the 6spd version.

the rim will fit over the brakes, its the offset you'd need to check, I dont' know the stock evo's offset, but alot of there aftermarket rims run 30 mm and lower which isn't rx8 territory

usually 6 speed is assumed to be the manual option as opposed to the 6 speed auto.

so since the wheels fit, can you swap on the brake system as well?
