why are so many people afraid of rolling their fenders?? I mean, a pull and maybe shaving i could understand but rolling?? i mean...come on...as long as the shop guys don't come out with bats ready to 'roll your fenders' i wouldn't even think twice about it...

8Maniac - That sounds like hell. If you're mechanically inclined and have patience you can do a fine job without the paint cracking, it's really not difficult at all. You can rent them online for pretty cheap as well! Problems start when you don't use a heat gun properly, go to fast, or do not adjust your angle.

How much of a drop can I pull off without needing to do more than trimming the plastic lining?

Hey guys, I will be buying a used set of Enkeis from a guy on an Evo Forum and his are 18x8.5 with a 35 offset. j8635621 helped me in telling me that I don't need to roll or pull anything to fit them in. My question, is how it will affect handling? I called up Good-Win Racing and I forgot who the gentleman was, but he said as long as the front and rear offsets are the same, I shouldn't have any issues. Since I'm somewhat new to the track racing scene, a point in the right direction would be great. You don't have to give me a direct answer, I do like to learn, but I am finding it hard to research on line since there arent many people I can talk to in the Winter. Idk if you need to know what I will be running, but I will have Stance GR+ coilovers, and i have Hotchkis Racing Sways on the car. Thanks guys.

You want the lowest wheel weight possible. More weight = worse stopping, acceleration, and turning. Lower offset basically makes your car have more roll to it in corners, but I doubt you will notice much difference with those rims. Biggest difference you will feel is the fact you can put more tire on the ground!

I currently have 19X10 with a Toyo T1R 275-35-19 and an offset of 43mm in the rear. This is flush with the rear of the car and they don't rub (I do have rolled fenders of course).
In going 20b I would like to get a 295-30-19 (toyo r888 for example) tire in there, I was having traction issues with the Renesis as it was in its last rendition so the 3 rotor will probably make it worse (a good thing ). I found these guys that would make me a 19x11 rim with a 55 offset which means it would sit exactly where the outside of the current rim sits but would add 1" towards the inside. From measuring a while back I am pretty sure I have that extra 1" towards the inside without hitting anything but its cold out and I don't want to go measure it now.
has anyone had experience with rims that wide in an RX-8?
Thanks in advance.

Renesisking: Yes that is what I mean
Chris: Not sure anyone has run something that aggressive to the inside. Tiltmode was looking into that a while back and I think the farthest in he found was 10.5 +43 and you have 3/4" more than that. Maybe someone else knows something I don't though.

how so? Not to expensive and not to flashy. Not a big fan of chrome or 5 spoke designs. The black looks good against my red 8 and their Enkei wheels. Keep in mind I am a full time college kid on a 9 buck an hour salary lol. Plus I am happy with them and thats what matters.
