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. Ryan |
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 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 |

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. |

Thanks for the response/help.

Thanks again, Ryan 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.

:werd: post pic's when you get em'. |
hey i got my car outfitted last night glad u guys know what ur talking about ahah ill post pics later

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-conten...42-600x400.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) |
17x10+25 with 245/45 requires more than a roll (trim all the plastic, negative camber, pull the fenders). Wider or lower offset will require even more work/not even fit. Look up imput1234.

Did you look up imput1234 lol? 17s most definitely work, though I'm sure there is some weird wheel out there that won't.
|
No I didn't lol but I will, thanks for the help

F: 18x8.5'' 245/40 offset: +45mm
R: 18x9.5'' 265/35 offset: +45mm Tein s-tech I know.. it's staggered. but im auto tragic. these should fit, right? |
You could fit the rears all around w/o rolling fenders if you wanted.
|
And the fronts?
I'm really trying to avoid rolling. But I want a good looking setup |
BTW I saw your setup :icon_tup: and it was close to mine, but I want to make sure.
|
your fronts will fit no problem
|
phew. thanks for the help.
looks like i'm going with some Volks SE37A's.. if all goes well |
18x9.5 +35 all the way around? i'm on bilstein pss9's... 13.2" center to fender
|
^It'll rub with a 255mm tire or wider...
|
hmmm... i'm planning on trying to run either a 265/35R18 bfg R1, or a 275/35R18 NT01... any particular recommendation on size/offset?
|
If you roll your fenders/trim the plastic in the rear, you should be able to fit that. Since it seems like more of a performance set up, +45 is what people normally run though.
|
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.
