18" BMW M3 Stock Rims on RX-8

I was wondering if these rims would fit on my 05 RX-8. I was thinking that it would need spacers.

BMW M3 Stock Rims
5X120 Bolt Pattern
Front - 18X8 offset +47
Rear - 18X9 offset +26

I need to know if they would fit or if I would need some spacers. Also need to know what size spacers I need if i need them.

Yep they won't fit.
With wheels with similar bolt patterns you can use some offset bolts to make up for the difference. They often do it for cars with a 4x98 and 4x100 bolt pattern and suggest that you buy the bolts.
We're talking about a 2mm difference in that case, yours is more than 5mm so it's simply too much
