There is a whole sticky thread about staggered fitment. I used to run the same tires all the way around on a staggered fitment. It was cool.

Got my eyes on a set of Advan RZ's for sale in 18x10 +35. I know they will fit but how agressive will this fitment be? I assume running a 255 tire would be safe and likely won't rub, but will I have room for a wider tire without rolling?

What offset would work better on a 18x8.75 +35 or +20? Looking to be flush as possible.
Also would it be alright to run the stock tire size on this set up?
Im only lowered on S-Techs.

I would get 265/35 all around and roll your fenders

I'd get the +20. Will fit no problem with the stockers and rolled rear fenders

Thanks Ross Dawg, ill hopefully be getting some new wheels in a month or so, not I just gotta find a place near me to get my fenders rolled.

ScubaSteve8

Alright thanks! So I take it the rim width/offset will be quite agressive?

Wheels will be flush, but the tires will do the rubbing. It should look great!

I have some 18x9 +41 Varrstoens wrapped with 245/45 tires. Right now I'm on S-Techs and OEM shocks, but will be switching over to my Koni+Megans soon. What sort of work would I need to go through to have it flush?

Ah, much better! You'll get much better feedback than the aggressive fitment thread, as long as the regulars of these parts are in a good mood. Helps keeps things organized too

For starters, I can say your tire profile is a bit too large for things to work out perfectly. Ideally, you would be running 245/40/18's to keep the outer diameter down.

Furthermore, are you open to rolling the fenders?

NautyOne

Would you mind shedding a little light upon how the outer diameter plays a roll on this, tilt?

I'm more than open to rolling them.

rubbing on the fender liner...

Even beyond just height; the same width with a larger sidewall, with weight put on it - the rubber bulges slightly more to the sides. Fitting 255/40/18 and 255/35/18 are entirely different for this reason.

While 245/45/18 is technically within 3% of the factory OD, it's pushing it at 2.73% difference (too tall). The 245/40/18 is a much closer fit at 1.01% (Shorter) from factory OD. If possible, I'd try to swap them out for the 245/40 but I suppose it's not really necessary. Next time around, though...

Ok i have a set of BE BY Breyton wheels. I bought the car with the wheels so i dont even know if it has offset.. I have 225/45/18 Yokohama tires all around. Now my question is, can i go with like 235/40 and put some spacers or just get some offset rims. Right now it sits on Teins H-techs. But i dont like it, i will be dropping more soon.. heres a pic. Thanks

Ross_Dawg

I would get 245/40 and 10mm spacers if you dont want to roll fenders

I dont want to roll the fenders.. Thanks

What's your set up. It looks exactly how i like?

19x9 +25 with 245's

ekliptik

iTrader: (3)

need to know if its possible to fit 19x9.5+40 front and 19x11.5+40 rear.

i have a friend with wheels in those sizes he doesnt need. they came off his s2k, im pretty sure the rear fenders were pulled.

so far im on stock suspension but would like to go to a nice drop later.

sorry i didn't have time to go through 250+ pages to see if its been done.



just wanting to know if its worth my time to go all the way to his place to just test fit.

They will fit on an rx8 with coilovers, rolled fenders, and a shaved fender tab pending tire size.

^Yeah well what if he wants to be a baller and run some 295's in the rear...Good luck fitting that with just a roll/shaved fender!

Newb Here..
i want to get some forgestar f14. Will this setup work on my rx8? 19x10 +40 offset 275/35/19 ???
if not what setup can i get to make it look as close as possible to that.. my car is stock right now but i def want to lower it later. I cant really do anything to it right now because im overseas in kuwait until august but i would like to get the parts shipped before i get there.

just found out the tire sizes are 225/35/r19 front and 265/35/r19 rear.


would those fit on stock for now, and coilovers once i get those?

Ross_Dawg

iTrader: (2)

That's why I mentioned "pending tire size"

I would not try to fit those wheels on a stock rx8; it will look terrible. You should have coilovers first. In my opinion, that's just too much of a staggered setup anyway for our car. It would take a lot of work to fit those rear wheels. Fronts are a piece of cake.

Ross_Dawg

iTrader: (2)

Yes that will fit with rolled fenders and shaved bumper tabs in the rear. You can either get 275/35 or 275/30; 35 is quite a bit taller than stock so I wouldn't put the wheels on until your car is lowered, otherwise it will be a 4x4.
