Does anybody have a set of Mazda RX8 factory 18 inch rims or Nissan 350Z track 18inchers on their car, or can CONCLUSIVELY confirm that they fit?

Even if the spigot fit, the offsets would be all wrong I expect.

Dunno about the RX8 wheels, but I know there are people in the US that have fitted up 350Z wheels to their cars with no worries.

Is it just me, or is the standard response to any wheel question here "the offsets are wrong"?

In this case the offsets are dead perfect at 50 (same as OEM Toyota). 8" wide all round means hypothetically the wheels will fit. Whether anyone has conclusive proof is another thing (for instance the centre hub may be too small)

Thanks Dominic, AFAIK the Soarer hubs are slightly larger than those of the Mazda RX8, so I'd need to get some spigot rings.

HOWEVER, I am currently looking at AMG Quakes in 18inch for my car. They are currently on an XR8, and I believe that these definitely fit, straight up no mods required.....?
