Original RX-8 wheels - ET?

Hello!

Can you tell me ET parameter of original wheels for Mazda RX-8.
I have wheels with winter tires (original from Mitsubishi GT3000), dimensions 225/50 R17, ET38 and i don`t know if this will be OK for Mazda.

Those would be fine assuming they're 114.3 x 5 and the hub bore is big enough.

The hub bore for RX-8 must be 67 mm right?

Depends on a number of factors but for the majority of sane wheel sizes, that's fine.
