Hiya,

The SVX runs a 55mm offset and the RX8 (18") runs a 50mm.

You should be ok without spacers although if you do need them get them with the correct wheel centre already machined in. The best type are the ones you bolt on to your hub then fit the wheel as normal, they are a little more expensive but less stress on the studs.

I was looking for a pic I had of an SVX in Japan with the RX8's on, looked fantastic, you can also get some Prodrive center caps to replace the Mazda ones.

Finally order of mounting:
Wheel --- Spacer ----- Hub ring ---- Hub

Think you want to try the Hub, Spacer, (Hub ring if needed) then the wheel, I find it fits easier that way with the wheel going on last
