Keeping this thread alive..
Its funny how during this whole thread, not a single post mentions which hub bore you need to get. Of course, with my luck, I go and buy quality Eibach spacers and they don't fit...
The ones I bought:
These won't fit on the hub.
Ok, lack of research led me here and I'm going to eat it. Why no talk of hub size is mentioned in this thread still confuses me.. Oy vey.
So, i'm going to get custom ones made by these guys: http://www.motorsport-tech.com
I enter in that I have a 2004 RX-8 and it spits this out:
*********************
2004 MAZDA RX-8
Your Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3mm
Your Hub Diameter: 67.1mm
*********************
Type: Spacer
Hub Centric to Car Only
Thickness: 25mm
*********************
So if the hub diameter of our cars in 67.1mm, its obvious why the spacers I bought don't fit (being only 60mm).
Going through their "wizard", it then asks me this:
So they want the inside bore size of the stock wheels? Scouring this site and google, I'm still not 100% sure without a shadow of a doubt what that should be and I don't have a micrometer to tell for sure. Then again, you would think that would be easy to find information on this site (and be SURE about it)... not so much. I'm going to be sure, i'm not buying a third set of spacers.
Apparently i'm the only one who is confused by all of this over the course of this thread so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

SELECT CENTER BORE
Please enter the Center Bore of your new wheels. The wheel manufacturer can supply this information, or you can measure them or have them measured by a machine shop. They are typically measured using a micrometer, and the measurement is to the hundred thousandth. It is essential that you submit a precise measurement to us so that we can machine your spacers to perfection.

"25mm spacers with complete OEM setup
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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:
