18x8 offset 50

They probably will not fit, most BBK systems for the RX8 will not fit the OEM wheels, not enough spoke clearance and the mounting surface is too shallow compared to a nissan..

It can't hurt to try it, but I think you'll be dissappointed.

With a 50mm offset, the odds are severly stacked against

Uhh... 50mm is insanely terrible for the coupe.

im assuming you just need these to get by while your wheels are being worked on? still the offset isn't working in your favor of fitment. might be better off searching your local craigslist for some 17" coupe wheels from a G35 or 350Z. They will clear OEM brembo.
