Offset: +50mm
bolt pattern: 5x114.3
hub bore size: 67.1mm
lug nut thread: 12mmx1.5
Tire size: 225/45R18

I won't beat you up for not searching, but all this info is readily available.

according to the charts in that link, these wont fit. I guess you could mod your knuckle, but that's not advised.

Maybe with some spacers.

Honestly i didnt search because they are rx8 wheels. I hate the car

So i don't really know what im looking at on those charts. But if im seeing it correctly, knuckle clearance is -2 and fender clearance is fine? What's the -2 mean?

It means you have two millimeters of negative clearance at the knuckle. Meaning they won't fit without modification or spacers/etc...

Don't they teach you kids how to read charts and graphs in school anymore?

Lol i didnt pay attention. That was like 10 yrs ago.

So if i picked up 3mm spacers, they would work?

I would at least go 5 mm spacers, 1mm of clearance is cutting it close.
