If you pull and want poke, + 12 would be better. 17x10 +25 is the same setup I'm at, and the rear wheel is flush, and tire is sunken. Fronts are sunken. This is also with about -2.7 camber all around, with a mild pull. No poke. You can also run x10 all around.
If you wanna be flush, you'll be fine:

^^so maybe +15 up front and +12 in the rear? And yeah, I doing a pretty aggressive pull w/ alot of camber, so i'd prefer a bit of poke over just being flush. Mind you this car will not be a daily. Thats what i'm picking a beater S10 up for, lol.

I see the newer RX-8s come with 18 or oven 19 stick rims. But I am not sure if my old 2003 will be able to take 19s or not. I do not know if things got changed in newer models.
So, can i go with 19? or 18 is max for me?
And from the other posts what i understand, for front i can go with 255 (or 245?) and 275 for rear without modifying anything?

Wide wheels are hardly available in my country though. I guess ill check out with the wheel shops for the widest one i find and ask you guys back again.

I have the option of getting a good deal on some wheels but they're 17-7 +48. From calculations, it says wheel will retract by 10mm. I can get same wheels with +40 but will be much more expensive. I'll be fitting them on 245/45-17 all around. Is the fitment too poor to consider the cheaper option?

^^Thanks, I had a feeling that was the case. Don't know why some wheels don't give 7.5, 8, etc options. I think limitation is choosing 17in. Many more options when going 18. I could use 225/50-17 I guess but wanted the wider 245's.

Ok, so hopefully this is the last time I bug you guys. I couldn't get the 17x8 rims but I can get a good deal on 17x7. So, instead of 245 tires I'll obviously have to get 225. Setup would be:
225/50-17 all around
17x7 +40 front and rear.
Seems fine to me but I know nothing
I still may go 245/40/18 with 18x8.5 +35 if I can get a good deal, but this setup has been noted already to be fine I believe.
