RX8 wheels on the MSP?

[Tommy1005]

I know there are some people who have put them on P5's, but I was wondering if anyone has put these on an MSP yet, just curious if they would fit and if they fit what they will look like.

They'll fit, but I think you're gonna have to put 215/35 or 215/40's on them instead of the stock rubber (225/40/18).

There's a pic of an MSP with RX8 wheels in this thread:

Here's another thread as well...no pics tho:

that pic... if it is the one u are refering to... the one with the black protege in the middle is that even a msp? it has a different lip... like a 03.5 but with a dgm lookalike and different seats... it just looks odd... that is all

edit: and where is the side marker?

i think u need a wider tire than 215... i thought i read somewhere rx8 rims are 8"inches wide..if thats true ud prob need at least a 225 to fit

last time i was at the dealership i saw a catalog of mazdaspeed parts and they had some magnesium rx8 rims in there that looked bad ass. i asked the guy in parts or whatever if they would fit and he said the offset was wrong.

Yep. This is how it is done wth no rubbing if you want to drop it a bit. There is zero rim lip protection however. You may be able to run the RX8's 225's if you leave the suspension stock.

I would guess the weight is fairly high with the RX8 wheels.

If that is important to you, take it into concideration. :)
