they fit depending on tire size. the usual 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear would work fine if you roll the rear.

Thanks NgoRX8!
I did put them on and at first was very leary of the clearence but after I lowered the car back down it cleared fine and have no rubbing that I can tell. Only problem is now is one of the back rims is bent but the only way you could tell was by spinning it. Found it when I was having them balanced. Now I'm stuck and have to try to get the rim fixed by this local place that fixes rims. Otherwise I have to find a place that sells black reverbs cause the place local to me says the have discountinued them. I took a chance buying used. Oh well live and learn.
Thanks again and wish me luck!

axis shine 20x10 are 20 offset. 20x9 are either 15 or 35. It will look stupid on a stock rx8.
mod 7's will be easie to fit, I think they are a 38 offset, but again, it will look stupid on a stock rx8.

I think the previous owner(s) had hit a pot hole. They are genuine Axis Reverbs, but any rim can get bent if you hit something hard enough I guess. It's not bent that bad but when you are rolling you hear more road noise than usual. They got the rim to zero out but it still has that noise but it did lessen. I'm going to drop it off tomorrow to see if the shop can fix it. If they can't then I don't know what I'm going to do.
Edit: I didn't know they were knock offs. That kinda sucks. Now I'm thinking I wish I hadn't bought them.

How about 18x9.5 with 22 offset? Tires: 265/35 1.4" drop in front, .75 inch in back.
I realize that this a tough fit but could it be done with enough camber? Downside of more camber? Thx

you won't need that much camber if you aren't going to be tucking the tire. A good roll will work all around.
