I think you are in the wrong thread

SabishiiYuki 07-13-2011 02:36 PM

Hi i just wanna know if this will fit.
Option 1
F/R 18x10 +25
Option 2
F/R 18x10.5 +20

also what tire should i put on if it will fit.
My car isnt lower but might be lower on some Tein S. Techs after i get my rims.

J8635621 07-13-2011 02:49 PM

No it won't work.

shazy 07-13-2011 03:25 PM

Hey quick question
I'm not very good with tires
but will there be a noticeable difference in ride quality from 225/45/18 to 245/40/18?
On the stock rims btw
basically it's a 40 series instead of 45 and a bit wider lol

J8635621 07-13-2011 03:32 PM

Nope

shazy 07-13-2011 04:04 PM

^lol thanks for the informative answer. :p

Z0oMzo0m 07-13-2011 06:16 PM

^ u may have to roll fenders. See my post a few back.

J8635621 07-13-2011 07:11 PM

No you don't. Zoomzoom is confused or something.

MUGEN1800 07-13-2011 08:16 PM

How wide are the stock rims?

J8635621 07-13-2011 09:45 PM

18x8 +50 and the r3 are 19" with same specs

ooobigfire 07-14-2011 08:05 AM

While I've been sitting here waiting for my powertrix coilovers I've been looking at other wheel options.
So now I'm thinking:
Advan RG-D
18x10.5 +25 5x114.3
Would I run into any issues? The have a +15 as well..
What size tire would you suggest? Never had a wheel that big. I'm N/A so no need for giant tires.

J8635621 07-14-2011 08:44 AM

It's possible if the car is sitting on the ground with pulled fenders. Anything less than that will not work. Is that something you want?

ooobigfire 07-14-2011 11:28 AM

yep. so I'd have to pull front and rear? And do you think maybe 265/40/18? I don't want to stagger the tires. Also while sitting on the ground with pulled front am I going to run into problems with my turning radius?

J8635621 07-14-2011 11:32 AM

That would put you on par with the most aggressive setup on an rx8. I'm gonna say it's probably beyond what you want to do. Yea pull front and rear with the bumper tab removed. Suspension set on super low and super stiff. That is what tiltmode has in the red Volk RE30. 265/35 not 40 big difference. I'm not a person to ask about turning radius or scrub radius or any of that. It's definitely not the best setup for performance.

ooobigfire 07-14-2011 11:43 AM

Yea Tilt's car is the one I was looking at. I didn't even think about how super stiff I would have to have it all the time. Thats not for me so I think I'll stick with the last setup I asked you about.
Thanks for the help!

Yeah thats right! STEP UP YO GAME! Shiz Weak!
:p jp man ........just had the urge to emphasize your point;)

Rotary-RX8 07-14-2011 06:56 PM

18 x 9.5 + 20 .. Will be lowered on coils.

1) 255 or 265/35/18 ??

2) Will it be flush or poke ?

Thank you :)

Can't make up my mind wheels .. Fml

Roen 07-14-2011 07:02 PM

265/35/18
18x9.5, any offset

Stock body S2 R3, only inner fender mods allowed (i.e. rolling of the inside, removal of the lip, no outside flaring / rolling), minimal camber usage (i.e. within standard spec)

Will it fit? What do I have to do to make it fit? What's my offset range for being flush to barely clearing the inside?

or you could try reading this thread, but I suppose that takes some effort too ... never mind that it's one of the most common fitments here since basically forever

J8635621 07-14-2011 08:45 PM

Rotary that depends on how low you are and how much camber you have. For me, +28 all around and 265s would be about perfect. Another inch lower that could work maybe. 255/35 will need you to be very low for the wheel gap to not be unruly. A few mm one way or the other can be made to fit but too low of an offset requires a permanent fix or camber if minimal while higher offsets are cheap and easy to fix.

J8635621 07-14-2011 08:48 PM

Roen if you are stock height then get +45. No fender mods needed and will sit decently flush. Search for it as anyone with 9.5" rpf1 will be running that with 265 or 275

Rotary-RX8 07-14-2011 09:04 PM

J i dont mind modifying the fenders if i have to. I know its something you have to do when going aggressive. Im more concerned on making it look good. I want it to look flush and not poke. I have a choice between +20 or +30. To me the +30 seems like it might not look aggressive :dunno:

truejee 07-16-2011 01:57 AM

mb battles. 18x9.5 +15

anyone else have something similar?

Got a page number for me? Sure I can spend an hour and have three offsets that work, but it would be nice if there was a range that could be provided, which I'm sure, has not been discussed yet as they rarely are in these threads.

I know +42 works possibly up to +30, but does +43 work? How about +29?

J8635621 07-16-2011 07:31 AM

Depends on ride height!!! We said +45 works so obviously +43 works
