It took me a while to read all threads related to spacers. It was a little difficult to find info and pics regarding a complete OEM car with 25mm spacers.
Here is all the info you need and pictures if you plan to do this mod on a stock RX8:
1. Ichiba V2 25mm (WS-5511467C): Complete bolt-on, no mods, oem wheel fit perfectly, with center hub (included) and 80 pounds of torque.
2. Bought through Work Concepts (Eric: info@worksconcepts.com): Friendly and great service.
3. Rubbing or vibrations: Nothing so far, at least with half-full tank and my wife in the back.
4. Flush: Perfect for a stock application (At least for me)
5. Alignment: -1.15 Camber all around with a touch of toe-in in the rears and toe-out in the fronts
6. Pics:

Nice. I could have saved you some time, I ran 25mm spacers with stock wheels and even dropped I only rubbed slightly even when off camber.
Now it's time to drop it.
No, no!!! I did see your thread and pics. I think I even send you a pm and you helped me in the decision. But, if I'm not mistaken, your car is dropped and mine is completely stock.
Yeah!!! Don't understand why a sports car has that kind of limitation. Snow tires some say??? I live in Puerto Rico..no problem with that around here...
Mine came with everything you see...including the Mazdaspeed rear spoiler...I just added the front mud guards. They sell it here as a Limited Edition (you can see the small decal in the side of the roof post). It is possible that is a Shinka package because it has the wheels, 2006 color, swede interiors with red leather lining, the foamed cross-members, etc...It came from the dealership with almost all the accesories Mazda has. Haven't been able to confirm the vin number with the lists I haved found looking around.

hey is that an authentic ms spoiler ?? if not where did you get it and how was fitment ?!?!
It is. As I described in an earlier post, my car came with all that you see. It is sold in Puerto Rico as a "Limited Edition". Although I can't confirm is a Shinka, it has the complete package of interiors, 2006 color, foamed cross members, wheels finish...

You said you bought your car like this, it looks awfully similar to the one in Supercompacto mag a few years ago. Could this be your car, minus the wheels? Sure looks like it with the color, racing beat exhaust, strakes, MS wing. The only thing I can't confirm is the gas door, as there are no photos of that side in that set. Would be cool if you had that car.
Wow!!! It looks very similar. I bought it brand new through a dealer. I did add the RB exhaust and the front mudguards, but the rest came with the car. Even the gunmetal wheels (Also in the Shinka model). Through the years I haved learned that there is a "Shinka Package" that came with some cars but they were not sold as a Shinka badge. What puzzles me is that my car has the foamed cross-members that came only in the Shinka model, suposedly. Anyhow, thanks for the pic...definetly much better looking than the ones I took!!!
I have seen that some dealers were selling GT's new in PR with the MS spoiler and strakes installed, maybe that's why these cars look similar. Your car is definitely rare though, hang on to it. This could be the "Special Edition" package that you refer to, which is essentially a Shinka with the wing and strakes dealer added. Also, I see the car in the pic has a FMIC as well after looking at the front.

Yes, mine is normally aspirated. Only the RB reflash, ignition wires and intake.
I think it looks good for a stock suspension and oem wheels. Tks for your request.
. That definitely helps. Much appreciated.
