This is probably a total noob question..but I just got an auto 8 because my wife can't drive stick and i'm immediately hating the 16" that came with it and thinking of going up to 18". Can you guys give me a brief overview of what I need to do this, apart from new rims and new tires and the sizings. Anything else that needs to be purchased apart from those things?

Thanks for the help.

 

Congrats on the new car. I saw the same thread in the wheels/tire section so I'll let you get your answer to your wheel questions there. Throw up some pics when ya can of your 8.

 

Welcome.
FWIW, I think the auto RX-8 will accelerate a bit slower with the 18's.

 

You should have teach your wife to drive a manual before you bought the 8. It's more adventurous and fun driving a manual. Anyway, congrats on choosing the 8 and post pics of the ride.
