18*10 and wider wheels(pic request)

Can you guys please post pics and specs of wheels 10in or wider, non staggered setups preferably, I've looked all over the net and I'm having a very hard time finding wide wheels with the right offset for the Rx8.
And yes I've used the search function and saw Team's 10.5 setup, also Derex'8, and c41250n, etc............... But didn't see a specific thread on wide non-staggered rims. Thanks in advanced

Oh and yes, I'm a noob

Thanks, I've already seen that thread, note that I mentioned Derex8 on my 1st post, and though the pics are great I'm more interested on knowing where to get the wheels and seeing as many options as possible b4 making a purchase.

well, there's members here that have done it without rolling fenders, they've done it with alignments, other offsets, etc......... This is what I'm interested on, pics would be great also.

It's all about the correct offsets....Alignment shouldn't be done to make wheel fit......

My first choice were the enkeis RPf1 18x9.5 with 45mm offset, but I saw teamRX8's thread on 18x10.5 and fell in love(https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...light=18x10.5), unfortunately he seems to be the only 1 with such setup and I think he just went back to stock, hopefully more people will come forward to show their wide wheels

Team, I don't know if I should thank you or just keep hating you, like I said b4 that's the best setup here IMHO

I OCD'ed for a few weeks until I found SSRs in the same size and offset as Team. GT2s, in JDM-licious gold. Last ones new in the country, as far as I know.

Still don't have the car. At least it's all picked out now, just waiting for paperwork.


BBS has an 18x10 RG-R that would be a good choice, assuming it clears brakes. Not inexpensive, though. www.tirerack.com doesn't bring it up for the RX-8.
Offset: 42mm Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size: 265/35-18
**Lightweight: 19.9lbs.**

look at my car 19x8 in front and 19x10 in rear, the only thing that sucks is that i cant rotate them but i guess thats the price you pay to look soooooo damn good

can you tell me more about your set up???? what wheels are those, weight, what tires, suspension, etc............
thanks.

Hondakilla, I really like the way your rear wheels look, my only problem is that I want the same size all around


+2 on the BBS's
-1 on the price
