Should fit without rolling fenders.

Just wondering why you want stretched tires when your offset will allow 275's on back and 245 up front?

With my setup 18x8.5 35OS, dropped on tanabe GF210's 235/40/18 . will this look slammed or? Thnx again

Leonardo Rosas

how bout 255/40/18x8 all around on stock suspension

"Slammed" can only be achieved with coilovers, so no.

255's are too fat for an 8" rim. 245/40/18 is a very popular size for the stock rim.

It will fit, but it is a bit too much tire like he said.

Will it look good though? Sorry i keep asking that, where i live their arent very many RX8's with Aftermarket wheels on them. Thank you guys for all your help and Replies! now if only if someone could tell me if the Tanabe GF's wasa smart and wise Decision!

ok....


lemme help you out Mazda rx804


Someone has already gone there and done that....

here's the proof

Exact same wheels specs











My opinion: If you like the stretched look, please take a look at the 'AGGRESSIVE WHEEL FITMENT' thread. +43 on a 10' wide wheel is only the beginning. Search forum member TILTMODE - here's his thread: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/silver-takata-green-british-black-sbc-gold-work-metal-buff-orange-187015/

also - rule of thumb. Stretched tires look ok (to some)with the correct fitment however stretched tires on TUCKED wheels suck....period. If the wheels aren't 'hella flush' i wouldn't bother aiming for the stretched look.


Hope this helps

i can get spacers no?

Leonardo Rosas

thanks guys i just wasn't sure i guess i'll save $$$ on the 245's instead of the 255's i just like the wide look on tires

Leonardo Rosas

oh i forgot to ask, im currently running 225/45/18 and i was wondering if get 245/40 will the space between the fender and tire will be much bigger than 40's? sorry my lack of knowledge but i when i got to the tire shop i just want to go and order the right set up without the guys saying anything haha

no the diameter is the same, the profile is the aspect ratio, a 225/45 the side wall is 45% of the width, a 245/40 the sidewall is 40% of the width but its wider, you maitain the same profile so it wont **** with your speedo

Leonardo Rosas

awesome thanks ... now i can walk in with confidence haha

245/40 is a good upgrade on the stock wheels thats what i run and it was a great inmprovement over the stock 225s

Leonardo Rosas

good t o know .. i don't have the stock wheels but they new ones are same size thinking on getting some pilot sports

Roxie8

i want poke
lol

RPM-Rush

Helllo......Here's a noob Question...yet again. But, I was wondering? Will 235/40/18 be stretched on 18x8.5 Rim?

Thanks again!
