I used standard RX8 bolts, your local Mazda dealer usually has loads lying about if you ask them.

Hi
I have just Bought my second Ford Freeda and see you are fitting Rx8 Alloys to yours. Could I ask you or anyone else will they fit straight on as long as I use RX8 wheel nuts? Can I use them with 225/45/18 tyres which are standard to the rims.

Tyres need to be load & speed rated at an absolute minimum of 96S, preferably higher, but the wheels can bolt straight on, although there has been some debate in the past about whether the wheels themselves are rated high enough for the bongo.

Thanks for that.
What would you suggest as a better rated alloy?
