Minor rolling??

Not thinking it will work with minor rolling.

Have a good deal for Volk Racing TE37 Mag 18" 8,5J+42, 9.5J+38, what do you think- will it fit on stock suspension and latter on KW Variant 3? Is it good?
Beforehand thankful, Nick.

^you'll be fine.

is it ok that on front wheels the offset is +42 and on rear +38 ??

That's actually a good idea ('cept for thereafter not being able to rotate your wheels).

With a 9.5" rim and +38 offset the rear wheels are flush with the fenders but the front wheels stick out a bit. A +42 on the front should make them flush as well.

I'm sure it's been asked before, but this is a LONG thread.

'04 6 Speed

Suspensions Changes: Lowered on H&R sports. (On stock wheels and tires, NO wheel gap)

F: 19X8.5 +45
R: 19X9.5 +45


a set of tires in mind..

F: 225/40/19
R: 255/35/19


Any Suggestions or comments would be great.
If i need to roll fenders, not an issue.

TopGear8 03-30-2010 08:41 AM

^No you don't need to roll fenders. That will fit no problem. But why not just go 9.5 all around with 255's...

Dietbudda 03-30-2010 08:54 AM

Any idea on how close the tires will sit to the fenders?

This is more for a certain look then performance. I have a set of wheels set aside for throwing it around.

Thanks for the quick response!

J8635621 03-30-2010 11:37 AM

Impossible to say how close to the fenders the tires would be when you haven't said the amount of camber you run.

8.5+42 isn't flush in the front at stock height. 9.5 +42 is pretty close though. edit: Small differences in offset front to rear like that are one reason to use spacers. 10mm Project Kics spacers with the built-in studs DO work with the rims me and you have btw. Just found that out yesterday.....pictures to follow once I clean up the car.

Huey52 03-30-2010 12:41 PM

^Yes, I was referring to 9.5 +42 as being closer to front - flush.

And yes, better to use spacers and thereby maintain the capability of rotating your tires, in this case all 9.5 +42 and use spacers only in the rear.

Im looking at these wheels but dont know if there gonna work when i lower my car... Help me out?

J8635621 03-30-2010 08:10 PM

Tire size? How much do you want to lower? You haven't given us all the info we need.

SBD69 03-30-2010 08:15 PM

any Problems??
 
wheels-
F & R - 18x8 +45

Tires-
225/45-18

Schartz 03-30-2010 08:20 PM

^
Updated, Not sure of which tire size to get. I have not yet bought the wheels...

J8635621 03-30-2010 09:21 PM

SBD that is basically like asking if the stock wheels will fit. Yes.

Schartz that will fit no problem. 245/40 for the front and 265/35 or 275/35 in the back. Will need the rear fenders rolled more than likely.

RotaryP7 03-30-2010 10:14 PM

^ I actually saw some Enkei RP03's for sale w/ tires.

19x8.5 +42 offset all around. It's on a TL. I'm guessing these would fit perfectly on an 8 uh? No adjustments needed?

Atilla 03-30-2010 10:16 PM

^correct

NYC Drift King 03-31-2010 09:23 PM

Hey whats up guys............. Quik question. What size tire would you suggest on a 19x10 +20 Rim?

imput1234 03-31-2010 11:07 PM

^What ever you want. I'm assuming you did all the work to the 1/4 we were talking about, since you aren't that low, shouldn't have problems with most sizes.

1 was thinking 245-40-r19 all around would give a nice stretch look. I droped the car a littel more on the coilovers. The front has about a sideways Iphone clearance, and the rear is sitting on the tires. I finally got around to shaving that piece imput on the rear.

paulmasoner 04-01-2010 07:44 AM

Has ANYONE seen 17X9 GC-010G's on an RX-8?

I am having a lot of trouble confirming they will clear brakes. I'm looking at 17X9 +36(as long as suspension allows the offest, otherwise +44)

I'm not wheel savvy, but i can measure brakes. so anyone who can tell me wtf to get the details specs on the wheels gets a gold star, i cant find shit

I'm sure it's a typo, but get 245/35 if anything.
