I'm still debating- it will be a few months before I do anything tho more than likely. It's a big purchase so I want to do it right...
Here is an 8 from the rx8club singapore site with type-f

So I'm thinking about selling my current wheels/tires, and going with the same wheels I have now but in a different color scheme and offset.


Figuring 18x10 +18 w/ the same 245/40s and in a Black face w/ Polished lip theme.


I know I'm going to have to remove the fender wells for these. With the -3* camber up front and -3.5* out back, am I going to need much in the way of a roll/pull? I'm figuring a roll is gona be the minimum I'll need, but not totally sure.

If you go low, I mean low, then you will need to cut/hammer/shave the rear tab that holds the bumper to the 1/4. With a pull you will clear that.

18x11 would be doper,

as of right now the weds will be in

18×8″ +35,+45 offset (18.58lbs each)
18×9″ +20,+36 offset (19.53lbs each)
18×10″ +18,+36 (20.45lbs each)

What is the model Weds are those that you posted? I can't find them

18x11!!!?? At all four corners? That would be extreme haha. I would like 18x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear for a staggered setup but everyone would hate on it haha. I think 18x9.5 +22 or +26 would be a good size at all four corners.
