Angry Help with oversized rims/tires!!!!!

I have beautiful 20 inch rims on my RX8! The new tires are scrubbing the rear wells. They have tried several things to raise her! The other options are to expensive. What can be done?
I have been without my baby for a week today!
HELP!

Uh, there are only 2 things to help you:

1 - Zumn

2 - The aggressive fitment thread.


My bet is on #2

yeah depends on a lot of factors including your tire size but best option is to just lose the dubs

yea 20 is too big for the car.
looks like 28s on an impala. just not right.

18 is the perfet size for the 8. fills the wheel well nicely.

on the other hand. you will need the right tires. and if your rubbing in the rear roll your fenders and lose the liners

umm yeah...

Things i need in order to help


1. Specs - i need the width and the offset of the wheels and the size of the tires you're using.

2. pictures - i need to see what you're working with and where exactly it's rubbing

3. Ability - if you're willing to ask for help i hope you're willing to make it work (i don't wanna waste my time offering help if all you're gonna do is say 'it's too difficult') - otherwise just sell that **** to a caddy n' try again w/a more appropriately sized wheel.

+1 to what atilla said.
we know they're 20" wheels but how wide? 8 inches? 9? 10? 11?
What is the OFFSET? This is crucial for us to know to help you out.

What size tires?
