going through a tire ratio calculator stock size is 18x8 +50 on 225/45/18 id go 17x10 +25 on 225/45/17 this gives a -4% error if i go 225/50/17 there's a 0% (negligible) error whats the difference? |
The 225x50x17 are a bit taller profile than the 225x45x17 and hence closer to the stock 225x45x18 in terms of overal wheel/tire diameter which leads to similar MPH speedometer reading.
This is much in the way that 255x40x18 are close to stock 225x45x18. Keep in mind that the second number is a profile (width/height ratio) and hence the need for a tire ratio calculator to make a fair comparison. |
You are going to need tires that are shorter than stock.

2" drop fenders rolled (or more?) fit? I would roll them and also use 225/40/17 |
Will this work? =O
19x8 Motegi Racing rims
Size: 19 | Width: 8 | Bolt Pattern: 5x112mm | Offset: +35mm Toyo Tires Proxes 4 245/35ZR19 93W Tires Any help would be appreciated, Thanks a ton. Zac |
5x112 won't work. You need 5x114.3 Everything else looks OK though. You could definitely go more aggressive if you were so inclined.
|
I want an aggressive fit, without pulling fenders. I don't mind rolling them. Let me know if it will fit. I have looked at the aggressive thread, but there are so many pages and being in Iraq with shitty internet doesn't help. ha
front 18x9.5 + 30 or +35 235/40/18 rear18x10 +40 or +25 with 245/40/18 on tanabe nf210 springs? or 18x9.5 +25 on lets say a 255/40/18 again with tanabe nf210 which has about a 1.2-1.5 in drop. I can't remember my measurements. |
will these fit fine on my stock rims?
Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45ZR18 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....20Transmission |
^yes
that is the stock tire size for the wheels |
Those came stock on bunches of rx8. Yes they will fit. 245/40/18 is usually cheaper or the same price for more tire. There are other tires that are considered better for less money ($1000 for stock size tires is RIDICULOUS). Nitto Invo, Toyo T1R, Kumho SPT, etc.
|
Trevors you can run the first setup 9.5 +30/35 (I'd suggest a 245/40) and 10+40 fine (265/35). The 10+25 will need a pull even with 245/40. 9.5 +25 is pushing it but could probably be run in the rear with a 255/40. You would need to trim the plastic in the rear fenders.
|
I found a wrecked rx8 with those bridgestone tires. they only have 4000 miles on them and the guy wants $200. Seemed worth it. Thanks for the help.
|
Ok great, my next question is, with the first set up 9.5 +30 and 10+40, would that be more flush than the 9.5 +25? I know everyone has different opinions on that, but i can't seem to find to reasonable pics to help my situation. I want to push my wheel and tire to the limit without pulling the fenders.
|
Flush depends on camber. http://www.flickr.com/photos/j863562...7623744260352/ That's 9.5 +28 with 245/40/18 in the rear and 9.5 +38 with 245/40/18 in the front. Approximately -2.2 camber. There are a couple older pictures where it is +33 in the rear and +38 in the front also. edit: I'm currently running +33F/+28R. Maybe I'll get some new pictures soon. Also contemplating a switch to 265/35s all around.
|
As far as suspension goes, what are you running? I think i found the size i am going to run. 18x9.5 +38 18x9.5 +25 XXR 522 with 245/40/18

You don't need a speedo. It's not important. i don't have one in my FC. ha, well i do, but its kph. so i have a sticky note on the conversions. But i just drive with traffic or a little faster depending on the place and time of day.

For those who have Changed Wheel Rim Size (from 18") to RX-8 R3 19", or whatever size, you should have your PCM (ECU) Re-Calibrated, which will correct your Speedometer Reading among other things.
These are the Details.. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...77#post3582077 Sorry ..I know this is probably a re-post...this is the first time I have posted in this section (I think)...Senior Moment! |
I have a question BigOLundh. It is all about the fender flares of my car. I don't know what will be fitted. What do you think?
