not flush but better fitting than stock. depends on your alignment settings and drop --also your definition of flush. aka i consider tiltmode's various setups to be 'flush'

White with Red pin stripes... I dunno, I'm torn and the seller says someone else is coming to look at them tonight... I might just wait and buy a new set a bit later.

Friend is letting go of his wheels on 350z wondering if it will fit my 8 sizes are 20x10 +25 rear 20x8.5 +25 thanks

volcomx31 10-16-2009 06:36 PM

i thought 18x9 +30 was flush..tilt's setup is more than flush

Ross_Dawg 10-16-2009 07:23 PM

^Its flush until you lower it and add camber, then its nicely tucked

with the standard 8 in wide 18"s, is using a 225/45 the best option? Does anyone use a 235 on that width (or even a 245)? is that bad for the tire sidewall or anything? does it look weird (pics?)

TopGear8 10-16-2009 09:23 PM

^Lots of people use 245/40 and they are happy with it.

volcomx31 10-16-2009 10:24 PM

what are good wheel + tires sizes that = flush without rubbing. i like to push my car often and i don't want to rub..my rear fenders are already rolled, do the front need to be rolled as well?

ZumnRx8 10-16-2009 10:27 PM

walter u r ghey....LOL....

volcomx31 10-16-2009 10:28 PM

not as gay as your car

TopGear8 10-16-2009 11:59 PM

According to these guys...Flush + Not Rubbing = Not Flush. But you will be happy with an 18x9.5 +40.

Hopefully I'm not lumped in that term. Rubbing is not fun, how are you supposed to drive fast under those circumstances?

chris__n 10-17-2009 03:55 AM

sigh... the rx8 community tends to sit on the conservative side i guess

Yeah I don't get what he means either...

TopGear8 10-17-2009 11:41 AM

^Maybe you should read what the guy was asking for. He wants to be "flush" but doesnt want to do any more work as far as rolling or pulling fenders. And by what you guys say is "flush" and what isnt, if he gets a wheel that doesnt rub therefore its not going to be flush.

chris__n 10-17-2009 11:51 AM

flush and 'no fender mods' don't belong in same sentence end of story.

now if he wants them to fit OK/conservative with no rubbing, that's a different story.

Ross_Dawg 10-17-2009 11:53 AM

Ok, I'll just go off what JantzenRX8 has... 18x9 +29 with 245/40 I consider a very nice fitment. He has no rubbing on stock fenders but does have neg camber. So, hopefully that answers his question.

I believe he did have some slight rubbing and needed to roll the fenders. Either way, that fitment offers a relatively aggressive setup that requires very very minimal modification.

18x9.5 +30 w/ a 245/40 or 255/35 would be the next step and would sit even more flush and look even better.

Flush is a relative term and to be completely honest, the phrase itself has worn itself out for me. Flush this, flush that, flushing meadows? I will continue to love them low offset wheels though ;)

volcomx31 10-17-2009 07:10 PM

i guess since my fenders are already rolled, i can fit a more aggressive setup..

Ross_Dawg 10-17-2009 07:13 PM

yeah 18x9.5 +30 like tilt said with rolled fenders would fit nice and snug

Darkpoison187 10-18-2009 06:35 PM

Hey guys I found some rims I'd like to buy sometime in the future
Tenzo DC5 Version 2 Black (19x8.5 (F) and 19x10 (R) 45 offset. I do know I need to roll the rear fendersand what size rubber to use but the problem is that's all I know so a little help please.

Ross_Dawg 10-18-2009 07:08 PM

yes those will fit. if you want 275/30/19 tires in the rear you may want to roll your fenders; but you might not have to depending on how low you are. the fronts will clear very easily and could use a 245/35/19 tire. You may even want a 15mm spacer for the front to fill it out more

Darkpoison187 10-18-2009 07:11 PM

Sweetness no drop yet coilovers will be a Christmas gift to me....Thanx
