RX7 Seat/Rim question!

They don't look so bad, I guess.

They fit a 225/45/R18 tire, right?
I wonder if they would need any spacers, or if they are DBO??

Also, where I live, there are LOADS of RX-8's, and not many people know how to drive,
or respect them.
So, there's always a few kicking around the junkyard.

Cheers.

Stock FD wheel is 16" x 8.0", +50.
Stock RX-8 wheel is 18" x 8.0", +50.
Rim width and offset are identical.
The only difference is the wheel diameter.
These wheels should interchange as long as you keep the tire size appropriate.
