Anyone know of the smallest tire and rim package out there for the 8.
I am putting on 17 inch winter tires but I can't find 17 inch rims that will freakin fit...they wont clear the calipers!!!
So, can anyone share their 17 inch rim specs...and I am just looking for steelies...thanks guys.....end rant...and I have declared war on Canadian Tire....

We have put 4 sets of 17X6.5 steel rim and 225/50VR17 Michelin PA3 winter packages on RX8's this year, they definately fit. We cant any more Michelins or steels rims right now, the only thing we have left are 17 inch alloys with Blizzak LM22's.

And yeah, some more specs, you need a 50mm+ offset roughly too. Mine is 45mm+

I just got the 17steelies from Can tire no problems! But didn't buy the tires from them, got my tires from Tire rack and went to the states to pick them up. SO much cheaper.
