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.

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.

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!

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.

^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.

Seriously.. FML..
^ 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?

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.

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 ****
