Unless you've already measured and know that the attachment points are the same distance apart as on the FRS/BRZ (or have measured the arm lengths), seeing the stock arms doesn't tell you anything. If the attachment points are further apart it'll be wider with the same length arms too.

The RX8 is only 19mm less front track width than an 86 although it does use a slightly wider wheel which would have a small effect on the arm position.
I will be purchasing the entire front end of a RX8 very soon so would be happy to share some measurements.

69mm = 2.72", that's way less than the extra width.
