when i get home im going to get the spec's of the wheel well and see how much room im playing with. that way i can get a feel for this.

Your stock camber is slightly negative. You wouldn't need much more negative camber. Go for it. Your handling won't suffer. @ Butters

so 9x9.5 +28 255 rear???

i think for the front i might go 8.5 :dunno:

Real JDM people from JDM Land (aka Japan) do 9.5 in the front and 5.0 in the back.... on a RWD car!

^ :rofl: @ John!

do that all around.

so this will look pretty good then all around????

and thanks for all the input guys, you all have been a great help.

i can say that because of today i have a way better understanding about rims and tires.

agreed, that would look awesome

You and me both, J03. This is why forums are around... to spread knowledge. Thanks everyone!

Honestly its not too bad to run neg camber, i have a ton in the back of my car and the wear is only slightly uneven. When the wear starts to get a bit more noticeable, ill have the tires swapped so the portion that used to be on the outside of the right wheel will be the inside of the left, etc.

Handling if anything will probably slightly increase because your tires would be further out giving you a better stance with the weight carried further out. Honestly though the difference is slightly more than half an inch further out on each wheel so its hardly noticeable.

I just put on my brand new advan Rs 18x9 +29 and they are rubbing.
The tires are Nitto NT555 tires. They are 255-35/18.

Can I fit them with a roll and some neg camber or should I opt for swapping out tires?

They should be OK with a roll..they must be close as they are

more camber and roll u good, or just do a pull and you'll have a lot more room.

So I was thinking of going bigger. I think my 8 needs some beef. What you guys think, will one of these fit? I think I may need to roll the fenders, but I am not sure. I think I might be able to get away without doing the roll.

^What size drop are you looking at getting? With that width tire you're going to need to have a near stock offset. :lol2:

im thinking about getting TSW Mondello rims for my 2004 rx8. here's the link http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_mondello.php will these fit?

please no.

there are many more styles out there for our cars that compliment our lines and stance.

but to answer your question, you're going to need to provide specs

im lookin at buyin a new set of the same rims i have now but in 18x9 +28.

im slammed on tein basics and running a 245/40 and will be using the same tires im on now with the new wheels.

^you'll be fine

cool thats all i needed to know

So... thinking of doing something nuts...

18x9.5 +12 with 245/35/18 ?

Yeah, should be easy after a pull, I'm actually looking at a setup similar but +10 and I was going to go with 255

what tire with the 255? I love the nt-05 or xs which only comes in 245 :(
