So heres my problem. I have the stock Pirellies on my car right now and they are about to need replacing. I also have my Toyo tires on my rx8 wheels and I just want to get rid of those tires altogether. I don't want to buy two whole sets for any reason now that I have all wheel drive
SO the question is.. What size of tire could I get that would fit both rims? I want to do this so that I could swap them back onto my stock wheels when winter comes back around...
Stock: 215/45/18 18x7"
My rx8s: 235/40/18 18x8"

Yes, you can do a 225/40/18 on both. my Ms6 came with those on the stockers, my rx-8 rims that I use for summer on my 5 also wear the same size now. if you would like to see what they look like (just a little stretched), hit me up next time you are in Brighton and I can show you.
the only issue I had with the size on my 6 was the speedo read a tad fast- about 2mph quicker.
That way you will only need to buy one set and be done with it. 225 is the max width for safe use on a 7" rim.

Couldn't have said it better myself
Nice thanks for the info!!!
Now I can start shopping around for a deal on 1 set!
I didn't know those tires were so wiiiide, no wonder your car looked so mean
