Every wheel we stock for your RX-8 ships free to the lower 48 states.
The RX-8 GS rolls on 18x8 stock wheels, and we've curated fitments ranging from aggressive 19x10 sizes down to refined 17-inch options. Whether you're upgrading your stance or refreshing your look, our selection gives you flexibility without compromise. Each wheel is verified to bolt on, ensuring a hassle-free installation every time.
2008 Mazda RX-8 GS Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 2008 Mazda RX-8 GS and GT both use a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and come standard with an 18x8 wheel at 45mm offset. You can fit 17-inch wheels down to 17x7, or step up to 19-inch sizes like the 19x10—giving you flexibility across seven compatible sizes without needing staggered setups on this square-wheel platform.
Since only 5x114.3 bolts fit, verify any wheel choice against that pattern before purchase. The hub-centric bore measures 67.1mm; if your wheel's center bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper fitment. Aggressive offset changes or widths beyond what's listed risk rubbing the fender and suspension, so stick with our verified compatible sizes.
Every wheel we list bolts directly onto your RX-8 and ships free across the lower 48 states. In stock now are Aodhan, Work Wheels, Enkei, Heritage Wheel, BBS, Gram Lights, Vors, and Black Rhino—all ready to ship.
