98 gst, my buddy has an 04 rx8 that he took his stock wheels off. Would they fit on my gst? Here are the specs

Wheel size: 18 x 8.0
Offset: +50mm
bolt pattern: 5x114.3
hub bore size: 67.1mm
lug nut thread: 12mmx1.5
Tire size: 225/45R18
 
according to the charts in that link, these wont fit. I guess you could mod your knuckle, but that's not advised.
 
Honestly i didnt search because they are rx8 wheels. I hate the car LOL

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?
