Depends on HOW aggressive you want... I'm sure if you found a competent shop they could fit a 225 on a 10"

^A few people have that setup on this site. The 5Zigen FN01R-C's. They are on 245's, and one is on 255's. You will run into rubbing problems unless you have a pull.

Bravery 07-28-2009 01:32 PM

thanks, topgear and rickA. want to run something agressive, those sound good.
like a 245 40 17

get 255/40, I'm on that setup with 245/45, 245 is not enough tire, if you aggressively drive the car frequently.

RickA 07-28-2009 01:50 PM

And I have 9.5 (F) and 10.5 (R) with 265s (Proxes R1R) all around and I can still break the car loose if I want...

There you go. You didn't really ask much of a question before.

A.A. 07-29-2009 03:20 PM

So I will have a 18x9 +30 all around dropped on s-techs.
Can I fit a 245/40 or will I have to go with a 245/35 without a roll?

Thanks

J8635621 07-29-2009 04:01 PM

Just get your fenders rolled and have 245/40. Trust me

A.A. 07-29-2009 06:05 PM

Thanks, are you saying I should go with the 40 just for ride comfort?

ac3mastuh 07-29-2009 06:06 PM

i assume ride comfort, and its also almost identical to the stock tire diameter

J8635621 07-29-2009 07:14 PM

and less wheel gap and I don't like the idea of that low a profile

A.A. 07-30-2009 02:21 AM

Gotcha thanks, I would only have to roll the front right?
but if I roll the fenders I might as well just go to a 255 right?

imput1234 07-30-2009 08:59 AM

Yeah, you can get a 255. If your gonna roll your fonts, roll your rears at the same time.

Ings TS06
 
Wheel Diameter (F/R): 18's
Wheel Width (F/R): 9.5
Wheel Offset (F/R): +40mm

Suspensions Changes: Koni yellow's with Tein S-Tech's

Tires: 255 on all four corners.

Question: will it fit? I really need to know if this will fit without any major suspension modifications. In other words I want to avoid premature tire wear due to heavy camber settings. Set it and forget it. :crazy::D:

Picture with rim/tire choice information:

ac3mastuh 07-30-2009 12:35 PM

with 255/40's you should have no problems with that setup

i don't think you even need to worry about rolling the fenders either

TopGear8 07-30-2009 12:35 PM

^Yes they will fit fine with no rubbing.

pdxhak 07-30-2009 12:52 PM

What profile do you plan to run with the 255's? Depending on tire and profile you could rub on the wheel liner up front. Also depends how much your spring/shock combo lowers your car.

Atilla 07-30-2009 08:01 PM

nice taste in wheels :bigok:

Thanks for the replies guys!

Atilla...yes...Wheels = HAWT'ness!

I need to make some corrections cause I wrote down the wrong offset. It seems the Ings wheels on that Rx8 are running a +34mm setup. So this is the correct setup plus the information on my drop...

Wheel Diameter (F/R): 18's
Wheel Width (F/R): 9.5
Wheel Offset (F/R): +34mm

Suspensions Changes: Koni yellow's with Tein S-Tech's
Drop: Front - 1.4 inches, Rear - 0.7 inches

Tires: 255 on all four corners...perhaps a 35 sidewall.

i have 18 x 8 O.Z.'s. What size tires would look nice on these? I kinda like the beefy look.. so i was thinking 255/35 or up to 275/35. how would that look?

J8635621 07-31-2009 11:47 AM

245 or at the absolute very most 255 beyond that is just......stupid

It'll look retarded
if u want a "beefy" look get a bigger sidewall like 235/45

TopGear8 07-31-2009 12:14 PM

^Yeah unless your putting R Comps on there...Which your not...Don't go above 245's on a 8" wide wheel.
