18x9 +35 would be the ideal fitment.

depends on your drop and tire profile.

example: you should be fine with s-techs and 255/265- 35- 18 (without a roll)

Try pming Topgear8 he's running these with the size your looking for i believe

Formula Silver...

Personally I'd like to have the 18x10.5 +15 because it looks amazing..But I use these strictly for racing and i'm limited to a 9" wide wheel in the class I run in.

I'd love to get some eventually as well. It'll take quite a bit to pry my current wheels off my car though

I'm going to guess 18x9.5 +22 but it could be 18x9.5 +28, not really sure.

^Nah you just need a bit more camber...It'll rub with 275's on the plastic tab in the rear but after a while it will just sand the plastic down and stop rubbing...its not a problem... When I had 275's it didnt even touch the fenders...

You're right here, the 18x9.5 +28 is correct. I totally forgot 9.5 +22 CE's require spacers to fit, I doubt they'd advertise that spec.

Brock - that's a nice 'n classy combo you've got! Nordic Green has always been of my top two colors for the rx8! Stormy blue is the other
