RX-8 Rims

Postby Big Dogg » Tue Apr 15, 2008 12:17 am

Thinking of buying a set of standard 18" RX8 rims for my FTO - seen them on another FTO and they looked great IMHO. Does anyone know if these will go straight on, or would I need an adapter or anything? Think they're 50 offset..

They fit alright - I've seen them on several FTOs - I think that both PCD and bore is the same. Not sure of the offset of the standard RX8 alloys - I would have thought that it wouldn't have been as high as 50 - IMO the FTO needs a lower offset than 50 - somewhere in the region of 35-40 certainly looks better on a 7.5 - 8.5 inch rim.

big dogg - you're right they look great on the FTO - infact I think they suit FTOs better than rx8s :-)
