i'm about to get RPF1 18x8.5+30 with 245/40/18 for all 4.
also soon I will be dropping with s-tech. do I need to roll the fender /shave tab, or does it clear without anything? thanks! (I tried to search this topic, but somehow didn't work well.. anyone know how I can search with specific rim/tire spec on this thread? I even tried using google "site:rx8club.com" thing...) |
Should be fine with no roll.
|
Thanks!

ok im getting very close to ordering my new wheels and need to decide on a final offset. I can do any offset I want and want to keep front and rear the same. I have only a slight roll in my rear fenders now.
Im looking at 19x10 all around and running a 275/35 tire probally nitto invos. Reason for the set up is i need to gain the groung clearence. I am willing to roll my fenders more and shave a few things. I would like to keep my front fender liners and not pull the front fenders as i will be going to the accolade ones soon. I also do not want to run any crazy camber i think im at -1.6 now. I was looking at a +40 but am thinking i can get more agressive (same as my current 17x9.5 +30 with 255/40). This will be the last set of rims i buy and want to makes sure they are perfect for the amount of cash im going to fork out. |
You can't really go taller than stock in the front if you are lowered.
|
i am on coilovers now and have room to go a 1" higher and have a 1/4-1/2" gap now which i plan to close up.
|
I can't tell you if that will work on the front even if you were stock height. I see no problems besides the front. I'd imagine at the very least, you would have to remove the front fender liners. Could be wrong though
|
i can make aluminum ones if need be. I also thought about staggered but unsure of what would look good and give me the clearence i need for the charge pipes. plus i dont think i want to give up being able to rotate tires
|
ok, I think I'm good here, but...
18x9.5+38 f/r 265/35/18 f/r Stock suspension (though if I lower, how far can I go without a roll?) |
You're fine stock, rears might need a roll depending on how wide the tire actually is (some are wider than the rated 265).
|
Lowered on S-techs, How will 18x8.75 (weird xxr widths) +20 with 225/45/18 tires fit? I would go 18x9.75 but I want to use my stock tires and I dont like too much stretch.
edit: would I need to buy hubcentric rings? |
You will probably want to roll your rears... dont know about the hub rings
|
is 225/45 a superstretch? I just want everything to be flushed

Ross Dawg,
In effect what your stating is that the rim will have a greater lip, but not really appear to be more flush than the +45? The RPF1's come in 9.5 +38 by the way, and I am considering the RPF1 18x9.5 +38 with the 265's. Aestetically, what would be the difference between this setup and the 18x9.5 +45 with 275's? For your question, if you ran 18x9.5 +45 w/ 275's, then your tire will be sunk in 2mm more (7mm greater offset - 5 mm width added due to tire width increase). Hardly visible, but that's the difference |

How so? I guess 8.5? Since I think its too stretched for me to put a 225/45 tire on a 9.5

Hello guys!
I am looking for a new set of wheels to match up with my body kit. I found a cheap deal (1000GB Pounds) for some Work Meister wheels. I am not lowered stock height and i aint going to be lowered due to the body kit. So will the Meister's with those specs 18'' 9J +43 offset all around fit? I don't know about the tyre sizes but the guy selling them mentioned that they are worned,so i guess i will change them. Will they look flush? Thanks |
Yea that will work.

Imma grab them then! What tyres shall i use?In order to avoid any steering wheel problems?(oversteer powersteer etc.) Ty again dude! |
To prevent oversteer and understeer, just use the same size all around. I'd say 255/40/18 if you don't plan on lowering the car. 245/40/18 if you do.
