8518 = 18" rims, 8.5" wide
5/114.3 = 5 wheel lug nut holes, 114.3 is your PCD
+30 = Offset of wheel. 8.5 +30, most prob ur front will protrude out. meaning rub fender.
MHG = should be the colour of the wheel.

WORK rims izit?

8.5" is good if you intend to upgrade your brakes in future. Smaller offset may not be able to accomodate bigger brake caliper.

8.5 + 30 front will protude slightly . Think Coupe07 saw mine during the meetup also, same specs as yours but different rim. Slight rubbing at low speed turning, but not too bad lar, if u dun intend to lower

Does 17x9 5x100 37+ offset work on a rx8? or does 18x9.5 5x100 40+ work better?
