There's a good chance that all RX8 donuts are the same size. You might call Mazda to double check.

This is not difficult to answer with the help of Google or your favorite search engine...
I did two searches for you but you might consider doing a few for yourself.

First I searched rx8 years of production and quickly found 2004-2011.
Second, I searched rx8 spare tire and came across the eBay ad.

Here is your answer...

As Harold suggested above, put the question to a Mazda dealer via email so you have their answer in writing.

Call a Mazda dealer or email, as recommended by Scarletti and Harold.

Call the Mazda parts department and ask them what spares fit the RX8. IF there are more than one, then ask them what the different specs are.

Ruger, what else are you looking for?
Have your questions been answered enough to make a purchase?

I have done all the things that has been talked about and would like to thank those replies but still
have not been able to get a direct yes this year spare for the RX8 will for sure fit your 2004 sc430..
Hoping someone with a RX8 in there trunk can give me the years that will fit...They have some on ebay but the seller could not answer my question,so guess will keep looking tell I can find out,one way or another..Thanks again

Ok , I did the leg work for you. Here is a compact spare. It is the same size tire as original sc430 spare. The bolt pattern is 114.3. The bore is 67.1. It will fit the sc430. Even with the bore size slightly larger it is fine as a temporary spare. If you wish you could get a hub centric ring. http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-12-Lincol...JW2Omg&vxp=mtr After three threads started for this and answers given. You can take the information and find a different wheel or pick one that has been recommended as an option to the original.
