Hello, i just joined rx8 club and am very pleased with it. and just last week i got my rx8!

I absolutely love it but am looking for some new wheels. i saw a custom rx8 with these wheels on it but when i went to order them, it said these wheels would not fit!

do any of you know if these wheels would fit? and would the 19" wheelse fit under the fender correctly? and if so can i get lowering springs to go along with the wheels?

Thanks alot! --- Tyler

need a little more info

19X ?
offset?
what size tire are you trying to put on?
how low do you want to lower it?

Tharp691

im just looking to lower it enough so it doesnt look awkward.. so maybe 1 inch?

and the wheel width is 9.5 inch...

and for tires i want very low profile... any suggestions?

lurch519

what offset are the wheels?

im dropped on the eibach springs with 19x9.5 and 255/35 19 rubber, but the offset is 40 which is a bit agressive so the rears are cambered a bit more than they should be accelerating tire wear.

Tharp691

its a 38 offset... but what size wheels do you suggest?? im looking for very low profile

lurch519

19 x 9.5 will fit, even with the 38 offset, but when you lower it you will either need to roll t he fenders, or deal with very agressive camber in the rear

Tharp691

ohhh ok.. ic.. if i dont drop it do you think it would look too high?

lurch519

probably

Tharp691

okkk... thanks for the help.. and did you have to do anything to the fenders when you put on your 19's with the drop?

lurch519

hope that answeres your question

Tharp691

yea i get that.. but you didnt have to mess with your fender right?

chrism

in other words yes

lurch519

no, thats why i said you would have to either roll the fenders or deal with agressive camber

Tharp691

ok.. icc.. not to be an annoyance but what does rolling the fender mean?

lurch519

roll the inner lip in for clearance

ohhh okk.. thanks alot!
