New Wheel INTRO: FORGESTAR F14 OMG FTMFW
#226
I like how they look on the silver and blue rx8... doesnt look like they have negative camber at all. I just don't want to spend a few hundred dollars more and time fitting the wheels.

I didn't spend any money to get the rims to fit, I did it all on my own and it just takes some patience and time to get it to look good but it's worth it if you want a flush look with the 18x10 size.

Thanks again Rishie and I havent forget about the brakes. I'll give you a call when I'm ready.

The rears on my car are dialed in at -2.5 rear and -1.5 front, this was checked by an alignment shop. The shop didn't adjust the camber but it's what was measured when I took it in for them to adjust the toe. It's the result of the low offset, rim width and the car lowered.

If you run 18x10 in the rear, unless you have an offset around mid 30's or higher, if you're dropped you likely are going to need a fender roll and grind the fender liner. Also keep in mind you won't be able to rotate tires with a different size rear/front wheel size.
Let me put it this way, if you want a flush look you will have work that needs to be done to the rear and front to pull it off regardless of wheel size. If you don't mind them being sunken in some like angeljoelv has on his then you won't need to do much if any work at all.

What Atilla said is dead on; depends on your offset. With a 9" width you won't have any steering clearance issues to grind out of the frame like I did but depending on what the tire size/brand is on the rim and how low you are you may at worst have to grind a tad bit out the fender liners.

18x10 doesn't make this issue alone, low offset contributes a lot to the problem along with tire size, camber, and height. Even with a 255/35, with a low offset you will have to roll the rears as the metal sticks out quite a bit to hit the tire when lowered.
Lastly, these rims are TPMS compatible. I bought some online to install so I could keep the stock ones as well.

I'm sure hoping this week that all will get out except Atilla's. Supposedly they are powdercoating Atilla's set because not enough piano black came. So frikin' time consuming working with these guys. I've never had to followup so much on a set of wheels are had to wait this long for a set of rims.
I pray to god that all but Atilla will be out this week, and Atilla should be ready to pickup in 2 weeks I hope.
