If it fits an s2k, it'll fit an rx8.

S2K have a staggered setup, I honestly don't know why anyone would want a staggered setup other than the Porsche guys but whatever. The bolt patterns are the same so, at least they will mount up.

To the OP, please post pics, and find out how wide they are, and get the offset...then we can help.

Volk Racing GTS?

ya those looks like gts but not sure.
i think i have to meet the seller and check it out myself.
but i'm just scared that s2k fitment rims will be okay on my 8.
i believe it's gonna be okay but
i think the front is sth like 18x7.5. i just don't want some rims smaller than stocker.
hope somebody here can figure out what kind of rims is that and rim size setting for s2k zzz

Yeah they are definitally 17's. I wouldnt get them if they are less than 8" wide.

rim size are 18's. but i don't know if it's more than 8"wide.
prob i won't get them if the its less than 8"wide.
what can be the best rim wideness if i'm just normal daily driver??
8" just like the stock or wider than stock??

Daily driving you'll be fine with 8" 9" 10" it doesn't matter man. Go to the will it fit thread and do some research.

well i did, but i just posted this thread cuz i don't know if s2k fitment rims will fit rx8.
is it bad to drive around with 7.5" wide rims??
or is there other reason?

Yes it will destory your car.

^Agreed. haha

dsire, look for something else. You will regret getting a 7.5 especially on a staggered fitment. Stick the stock size or better, I personally like a 18x9 or 9.5 but really wouldn't mind a 18x10 all the way around.

Ewww I cant believe Volk even produced such high offset, narrow rims. Keep looking OP.

Staggered fitment means having size different width rims front to back. Like running 18x8's up front and 18x9.5 in the rear, just an example. Then you run into the problem of not being able to rotate your wheels because of the different sized tires/wheels.

Those are not volk... They are made by the same company as volk which is rays. These should be RO_JA R2-5.

it should fit, s2k fitment is pretty similar to the 8
