9 inch rims for the front will they fit?

i have a buddy of mine thats willing to sell me these rims for $100 dollars but they are all 18x9 and i dont know if the rx8 can take 9 inch rims iin the front. Also i need your honest opinion on these rims. I know theyre not all that but for $100 dollars? Also if you look at the veilside rx8 it has very similar wheels and they look sweet on the rx8.

put them on and see if they fit.

If they don't, don't buy them.

The 9" rim will fit. It is just a matter of the offset and what size tire you put on. With a +35 offset, you should be able to get by with 245 width tires. I have 19x8.5 +34 offset and 245/35/19 tires, and it fits perfectly.
