NY Need Help

I've asked before on rx8club and received no response...

I picked up wheels, 18x9 +15mm front, 18x10 +25mm rear

I have been trying to find tires that would fit, but everywhere I go there is a different answer and I would rather trust the judgement of my fellow 8 owners than some dude at a tire shop (sounds weird)... but true!

reply in PM or quote or something, just looking for some answers to my dilemma.

This thread is not the "will it fit" thread. Search. Do your own research and decide yourself what is best.

You keep getting random answers cause there's so many factors. YOU have to measure.


Sucks about that black 8 though!

+1 on amount of fender work and camber.

I'd imagine a decent amount of roll and pull is required.

Yeah there's a little more to it than that but I doubt its totalled. Its black tho so look over it real good in the sunlight when you get it back. I work at a bodyshop and trust me I've seen some really shitty work come through

surprisingly not. even after dropping the front to where its tucking a tiny bit of tire it dosent rub nearly as much as I thought it would. just an average roll all around and running around -2.5 all around as well.
