Title: RX7 Spacers for rx8 Rims
Post by: Paul1982 on August 12, 2007, 07:34:37 AM
Hi guys - my FD has the rx8 rim on her.
 
They look great but the offsets cant be the same as the tyres fit to far in.
 
I know the RX7 offset in 50 but is the rx8 the same?
 
Plus has anyone else had this problem - hubcentric spacers would set the wheels right out into the arches and make the car look alot better.
 
What do you guys think??

I got the same wheels with 10mm spacers on the back. Only problem is, once you put thicker spacers on 20mm+ the nuts wont go on the studs. You need longer studs. Also did you know that rx8 wheels are not as wide as stock 16in fd wheels??. I didn\'t either..untill i sold my stock wheels.:mad:

ps did you get the shock ok?
