RX-8 Wheels?

Has anyone fitted 19"x9.5" to the rear and 19"x8.5" to the front of an RX-8?
If yes could you post a website to view the wheels.

In OZ we can get wheels from www.tempetyres.com.au if you want to check them out.

Do they fir without guard rolling?

the kangaroo nut sac thing...was an inside joke I had going with some of the other aussies on this site, sorry to confuse you (I wrote before, aussies are crazy they actually sell Kangaroo Nut Sacs [*******] as coin wallets, at the grocery store!)

Yes with the right offset, there is no reason why they shouldn't fit.
8A8Y 8 here in Sydney has Volks in this combo.

Thanks, I just got that one about the *******. Yes the kangaroos are very useful for many items of apparel and are extremely delicious seered and served with a light salad.
There are so many kangaroos now because of the extreme drought conditions in OZ. They actually come into the heart of Sydney and can be seen knocking on doors for food. They are extremely smart animals but not smart enough to avoid cars and trucks on freeways. Literally thousand are killed each day on the Sydney Harbour Bridge approaches. Hence the enormous amount of nutbags. This industry was actually started by Eric Hunt a young man from NY,NY some 35 years ago when he was avoiding the draft.

make sure you get a correct off set.
the first one 8A8Y 8 got had worng offset for the rear. the wheel actually stick out on the wrong side of the rear guard/fender about 1/2"
no problems with the 2nd set with correct offset.

20"...... waiting for the new wheels.... hoping to go a little bit bigger with air suspension setup
the black 8 (for now ) is mine, the yellow one belongs to a close friend :D , both pics taken by mr. tepme tyres :D
