So I started reading through the thread trying to look for my answer until I realized there were 188 pages of answers and I don't really have the time to look through them all seeing as I'm deployed in Afghanistan... so here goes..
I'm lowered on Eibach Springs.
R: 19X10 19mm offset
F: 19X8.5 20mm or 45mm offset (which would be better)
Would those rims fit without rolling fenders or any modifications?
What tire sizes would be recommended?
Thanks in advance guys.

Not going to happen w/out fender modification.
Going to need a roll, pull, shave and narrow tires.
Those specs fall under the aggressive wheel fitment thread. Check it out - i'm sure someone can help you out.
If i were to take a crack at it, the tires you would probably need 225F (if you go w/+20) and 245R
btw, why staggered?

I'll have to take a look into that other thread. What is a pull/shave? I understand the concept of rolling fenders and stretching tires but I'm not sure what pull and shave is.
And as far as why staggered? Well I read through that thread on the big debate on it and while I realize it does no good to a NA RX8, I do not track my RX8 ever and I rarely get to even speed with it as I live on an Army base where the speed limits are ridiculously enforced. Therefore it's merely for looks as I have no concern over optimum handling at this time. And I have plans for big power one of these days... where meat will actually be needed.
Thanks again,
Ryan

Work Emotion CR-KAI
18x9.5 +38 Offset On All Four
Dropped On Tein S.Techs
My rear fenders are SLIGHTLY rolled already
What size tire do you think I should get to be SAFE?
255/35/18 or 265/35/18 and do you think I will be ok with normal camber or should I run some negative camber.

anyways - you honestly don't need to run staggered fitments at all if all you're just going for looks. You can run the same size on all 4 corners and look legit AND be able to rotate your tires thus saving you money.

17x10 all the way around 25mm offset. I'm lowered on eibach springs. 245/45/17 tires would probably need a roll? Would I be able to sqeeze 255's or 265's in there?

I'm also bandwagoning here...
Like Ryan2008, what tires go with 17x10 +25, maybe even +12 (5Zigens, obviously.)?
Trying to go for the poke and stretch look... I'm just really bad with tire sizes. I don't mind having to roll the fenders if I have to, it's not the end of the world, but if I can get away with not having to do so, great!
something along the lines of this:![](http://www.stanceworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/MG_7242-600x400.jpg)
but obviously this is extreme... (specs for reference: F(18×9 et22 with 30mm spacer with 215-35-18) and R(18×10 et15 with 5mm spacer with 225-40-18)
Thanks
P.S. I'm lowered on Sprint Racing springs/stock shocks, so 2" all around. Essentially not more wheel gap but not dumped.
(I don't know what I'm doing lol)

the other option i was looking at was a the 18x9.5 +45 RPF1's. would either of those tires have a proper fit? another concern i was thinking about, is that, +45 is the factory offset correct? i've been looking into a stoptech kit for the front (i deal with them on a wholesale level, so, prices are worth it) and it lists working with the factory wheels only with a 15mm spacer added.
