Alright so,
I have 2 choices so far for rims
choice 1 : rota torque's 18x9.5 +20
choice 2: rota boost 18x10 + 35
I got these down but I'm a noob with tire specs, which would you choose and what tire specs do you guys recommend?

I had 19x9 +40 with 245/35/19 on my rx8 with stock suspension and it looked ok. Looked 100 times better with coilovers and 15mm spacers all around. I dont think it would have looked good though with the spacers and no drop though.
I guess what I'm saying is that if you want aggressive wheels, you have to have coilovers for it to look good. If you hardly drive your 8, then I suggest saving up for both coils and wheels and get them together.

rolling fenders I wouldn't mind, but I never really was able to find more detail into shaving bumper tabs though can you help me out on that part?
and I'll look up more on camber, never really knew much about it either lol, back to searching!

It's not the diameter of the wheel that's the issue, it's the diameter of the tire.

ok so if this was your car and setup what all would you get? i really want the 19" rims if i can get them.. and im deployed so i would be able to get everything i need at once and just have it shipped home. Also, and suggestions on the coils? i.e brand and type
thanks alot for your help i really appreciate it
i found this pic in another thread with the rims i want. This is what i would like my car to look and sit

Those are the forgestar f14's in 18x10 +40 Im guessing. Maybe has racing beat springs or some other medium size drop spring.
19x10 +40 with 265/35/19 would look good I think, even while stock (though it will look MUCH better lowered - also have to roll fenders) Check out the thread in this section on the powertrix coils, seems to be a good deal.

thinking about getting some 18x9.0 and running them with a spring drop. maybe the tien s tech or tanabe GF.
tanabe 1.4"-1.2"
tien 1.4"- 0.7" (i think)
anyways what would be a good offset for this set up. looking for a nice flush look, i was thinking maybe +30 ish?
and a good tire size? nothing crazy, just whatever would fit. maybe 245/35-18
i have a good offer on the tanabe's but i wish the rear end drop was less, it already seems like the back end sags a bit. anybody you know running a set up similar to what i suggested that could PM me a pic of their car? thanks for any help!

Ok, I really appreciate the help. I will go with the tanabe springs than. Is rolling the fenders something you would suggest a trained personal do? I'm good with my hands and rather mechanical, I have read a lot of DIY on it and seems rather simple. Or it one of those "harder than it looks" things.
