I am the same way, I love the functional fitment look and the fact that I can go from the track to being in a car show and just wash her, but man, I'm tempted to make my FC slammed and flush as hell.

I like looking at a some flushed out rides. Really depends on execution of the mods. Well I'm that way with anything car related. I would never own a flushed car though but can appreciate a properly setup ride. The problem with the "scene" is too many trashed ghetto looking rides.

Is there anyone out there that will be willing to help me with my new wheels and fitment? I got an email from the place that is building my wheels and I'm not sure how to answer it :-/
Here is the email:
"Here are the specs that you'll be getting. Typically it looks best when an RX8 has matching lip sizes front and rear, however due to the BBK face up front, this makes the offset quite low. One alternative is that we can shave the backpad about ~4mm which brings the offset up to +16. Let me know if you want to do that. Extra lip is always nice
Either way, let me know if this idea interests you. If not, then we will proceed as planned with the 4" rear and 3.5" front lips.
19x10.5 +27 rear - 4" lip
19x10.5 +24 front - 3.5" lip, can be 10.5 +12 with 4" lip"

those specs wont be too hard to fit up. I was running 18x10.5 + 22 all around with 265/35's and it fit fine, just needs a roll, bumper tabs shaved, and enough low and camber to get them under the fenders.

Those are some really easy specs to fit with the right tires. Just go with x10.5 +24 up front. No one is going to notice a half inch difference in lips. People barely notice the 1" difference in mine.

I already told you what would fit and what wouldn't. Stop posting here or you're just going to get dumbass remarks from people like 9k, as already proven.
