You Sure?

Seen RX-8 Wheels On Fc's.Which Fit Similar Wheel Sizes As The S13.

Plus They're Both 5x114.3 Of Course Unless Your 4 Lug.

So Why Wouldn't They?

IIRC the center bore is too small.

The lug pattern will fit, but the wheels would need to be modified, or you could run some non centric spacers.

His first post bumps a year old zombie thread... Excellent. Is that a donk 240 in your avatar...

RX8 wheels are 18x8+50... that's enough to run s-chassis off in the first place...

But their hub/center bore is 67.1mm. Oddly enough, I can't find the 240's exact center bore...

Aftermarket wheels dont count genius.

I just checked two different sites. One said the RX8 uses a 67mm center bore, the second said 64mm. 240s have a 66mm bore, so now even Im confused.

I wonder if they changed the center bore at some point. Or maybe someone fudged up somewhere.
