Question on Rims + Tire with suspension setup
Hey guys
Im looking to eventually get a nice set of rims with a decent tire and then to lower my 8. Not for racing, but for show and driving pleasure since its my daily driver. The colour of my 8 is Blue as well. Not sure of what the name is of the RX8 blue though.
I came across these 3 different rims from Cosmos.
The S5R, XT-005R & XT-006R. The XT-005R has two different rim specs: 18×9 +25mm 5×114.3, 18×10 +20mm 5×114.3. The S5R has two as well which is: 18×9 +26mm 5×114.3, 18×10.5 +20mm 5×114.3 and the XT-006R has two: 18×9.5 +10mm 5×114.3, 18×11 +8mm 5×114.3 (Will look at black colour options for rims)
What do you guys think of one of these rim choices? Im looking at something a bit different to what i usually see and I know that no one on my side of the world has these on an RX8 or most cars since they only starting to arrive in South Africa right now.
Now im not to clued up much on rim and tire combinations to get a nice aggressive look with decent ride comfort so i was hoping someone on here could help me with a good tire combo for one of these rims. I do plan on lowering my car as well on possible street coilovers or a shock and spring setup.
Any help would be super!
Side note: I did some research on here about different combinations, but im still kinda lost with the technicalities in this department.
