Just make sure you have the correct Offset and you wont have any rubbing. Not a real fan of those wheels in particular, but hey, thats your desition. I had 20" for a while, Never had any issues.

it's your car, do what you want. If you're asking about opinions.... i think it will look stupid as hell. but once again, you're the one who drives it and looks at it. If you want 20's, get 20's.

20" changes your 8 from a sports coupe into a SUV

I think you should go 22''s or bigger, 20'' look ugly on an 8.

Does the RX-8 have enough torque to turn those 20" wheels? :-}

cool, thanks for all the input guys. i was actually thinking of the fact that it's too big -- that it will look ugly. and maybe it is the style that doesnt fit the 8. ill post pics if i decide to go for it. if i dont post pics, it's either i didnt go for it, or its crazy ugly!
