RX8's With 17' Wheels? Lets see some pics...

Trying to decide on a set.

So far I am really liking the Enkei RPF1's.

Excellent choice! I have the same on my WORK wheels. Damn though, look at how much he rubs on those rear tires.

dont do it. staggering is bad for handling, and seeing as you still have a relatively light engine in your bay, you still care about handling right? so just go by 9.5"s or 10"s all around

Did you have to change your damper setting for your front and rear on your Hipermax coilovers to run this setup?

Can anyone specifically tell me what width, offset and tire dimensions dubb is running? He never specifically mentions it in his posts.

i believe he's running 17x10 all around. someone correct me if im wrong. tire size and offset have not been disclosed by mr dub himself. Its top secret. I would do the same thing too if i was him. Too many people will try to copy his style if he disclosed his offset and tiresize. People just have to experiment and mess around with offsets and tire sizes for themselves these days and what works best for them.
