Will 17" Mazda 3 wheels fit the 8. I want to use them for winter rims. I believe they will but I am not sure. I can get them for 75$ for all 4! I put this on the wheels thread with no response so I'll try here! what size snows should I use if I put 17's on?

you should search the tire & suspension section. And yes, the mazda3 rims will fit. But do know they are only 6.5" wide.

Not sure they will clear the front brakes.

You have a auto or manual?

mazda3 wheels will fit on the rx8.

many rx8 owners use the rims for snow tires.

winter comes fast in Maine! thanks I think narrower tires will be better any how in the snow! what size tires do most use when they use these wheels?

i'd stick to 215/50/17s for the mazda3 rim.

from what I have heard, you want narrower tires for winter driving.

And yes MT or AT - 17'' wheels will fit.

I have a MT.

FWIW, from my experience, thinner wheels work better in the snow. I believe thinner wheels for winter is Tirerack's recommendation also.

^ Yes I agree. But I like options...

I went into hibernation early this year, trying to keep the miles down since they're getting up there
