Isnt the 255(width) 40(height)

Stock is 245/45/r18

These new rims are 10in wide so the 255 would be streched, with a slight shorter height.

NYC Drift King 05-13-2010 05:25 PM

ok I think 245/35/r19 is the way I'm going... thansk guys.

J8635621 05-13-2010 06:54 PM

Stock is 225/45/18. Look up how the aspect ratio works because a 225/45/18 is not as tall as a 245/45/18 or 255/45/18. 255/45/19 is even taller. It's probably close to a 255/50/18.

Question! Will 19x9.5 with 245/35/19 in the front and 19x10.5 with 275/35/19 in the rear with +22 offset all around work with stock suspension? Need fenders rolled?

J8635621 05-14-2010 03:44 AM

No and it will look like crap.

Ross_Dawg 05-14-2010 09:26 AM

Lol, 4x4 alert :lol:

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 01:04 AM

Hey guys I'm running 19X8.5 offset+40 with 245/35 n lowered like 1.5", so now im gonna get new rims n wanna to try a new combination, but the thing is that I have a gap of 1 finger between tire n fender(rear) n couple of fingers in the front. My questions is how big can I go with out making my car look stupid, also if i decide to keep this combination how far can I go with the offset???????

Mazda_RX804 05-20-2010 01:58 AM

^^you planning of a staggered fitment?

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 03:50 PM

Not really but I'll do t if I c a good comb. As right now I got the same size all around n I like t, a little afraid of change cuz Im really picky but like I said I'll do t for nice clean look.

Atilla 05-20-2010 04:01 PM

Not to bust your bubble but - this is the 'will IT fit' thread - not the 'give me something that will fit' thread.

You gotta come in here with a wheel already in mind and then ask if it'll fit.

Otherwise there's a lot of specs that can work but it would be dependent on the wheel that you choose. All wheels don't share similar specs. . .

J8635621 05-20-2010 04:24 PM

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 06:17 PM

Ok how about Tenzo-R Tracer v1, they are 19X8.5 offset+45 I want 245/35 tires, my car is about 1.5" lower than stock and Mazdaspeed body kit.
So the great question is "will it fit?"
PS: I know what these thread is about but i was just trying to get some ideas for the improvement of the RX8s. Anyways thank you.

Atilla 05-20-2010 06:19 PM

^that'll fit no problem. You can roll if you want but it's no where needed.

w00t w00t! answered w/in 2 minutes :D:

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 06:56 PM

Yeah but Im not sure if the +45 will be to different cuz withl +40 its really close to the outside, n do u think that it wont touch the springs in the inside?

J8635621 05-20-2010 07:09 PM

You are going less aggressive than what you have now and you wonder if it will fit? LOL Then he tells you it fits no problem and you doubt him? Come on now.

At most you'll need to roll your fenders




any more questions??

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 07:31 PM

Im dont doubt anybody I just thought that it was gonna touch the inside

Atilla 05-20-2010 07:43 PM

No problem. Definitely not gonna happen w/8.5 and a 30's offset.

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 10:59 PM

Thanks a lot Atilla, like I said I never doubt ur knowledge I just dont wanna spent $2000 n they wont fit (already spent a lot money on the car). I think I'm gonna go a little more aggressive now that I know how far I can go. Really thanks a lot, I'll b posting pics, for now here r a couple of pics of what it was :) n what its :banghead:

Cubanito13, is that your 99b? WTF happened??

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 11:20 PM

I was on a Ramp going to the freeway (happy driving but NOT too fast or drifting) so I felt some crack n I thought it was a hole, drove all the way to my house without problems n without knowing about the wheel, the day after I was washing the car when I saw the dawn freaking spoke broken all around. I just wanna to shut myself but hey at least it didnt break the whole n that it would be terrible.

pdxhak 05-20-2010 11:24 PM

Amazing it did not break. Glad you got home ok! I have 99bs. Same size and offset as well. So you think you hit something?

Cubanito13 05-20-2010 11:29 PM

No I didnt hit anything thats for sure, it was the pressure of a downhill tie ramp. Hey u dont wanna sell me 1 of ur rims? :naughty: . I love my rims man n it hurts to c them go.

pdxhak 05-20-2010 11:32 PM

You would have to buy all four because I had mine painted :D:

Shocked the wheel could crack on its own though because they are very strong.
