If you do want to sell, let me know, they will fit the RX8 aswell...

Sokar... you not selling the RX8?

5 x 114.3, 18" - 8.5j with 30 offset IIRC...

But if you have them, just fit them neptune and see if they clear. I think shock clearance will not even be an issue, it will just be body - but doubt that you'll have issues.

some guys in the US are running negative offsets on their rides, so i think with a positive offset you should still be good to go.

s14 pcd is the same as the Z33 so :)

Don't know the clearance on the front wheels for an S14, but I know with the S13 with my current setup (18" 35 offset) I cant go to 245, maybe 235/40/R18.

I would try as big as possible at the rear though.

pitty its not the anniversary edition wheels, but I phoned Nissan and the old spec ones like mine cost R10600 each. Nissan SA is smoking us.

Buyers havent been forthcoming. If someone is interested I'll sell, otherwise I'll just drive it, I'm not struggling so there isnt a real need to sell other than saving for a house...

Anniversary wheels are nice - makes the wheel look bigger, like the fact that the wheel design starts deep in the centre and moves out towards the rim.

Rx8 is an awesome car - Jeremy Clarkson gave it a brilliant rating on one of his dvd's..gotta love wankel

your price was very good also... best of luck...

don't you have the edition where the wheels look similar to the Z33 anniversary wheels?
