Vanguard - no. Pretty sure you don't want huge winter wheels.
Nslave you could do 9.5+30 all around with 245/40 and maybe roll the fenders. You can't really be flush without fender work. I am going for this look: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/...db6f5eb2_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4082/...311741ee_z.jpg This 8 is on 18x9.5 +15. Thank you. http://http://farm5.static.flickr.co...311741ee_z.jpg |
Way more involved and you'd have to be super low to look good.

XXR 527 - 18x8.75 with 225/45 tire on the front and 18x9.75 with 265/40 tire on the rear with stock height for now but Tein S later on. Can I?

Not recommended and you have to put offset!

Rims: volk ce28n or te37 18x9.5 +22

245/40 and roll fenders + remove rear bumper tabs + lower till no gap between tire and fender.

Any responds to my post?
|
Yea it's there if you care to read it.

Rota torque 18x9,5 et35 with 255/40 tires all around. Lowered on Tein Stech springs. Is it 100% certain I will need a fender roll in the rear? Will it look good?

18x8.5 +35mm
Front: 1.75 Rear: 1.5 Recommended tires? Other? |

Rx8north-I needed a roll + remove some of the bumper tab on a similar setup. Others have done 265s on that setup and sworn it fit with no work. Best to assume my situation and be happy if it's less work. It will look good. I don't recommend 255/40 because it is tall and with lower offset wheels and being lowered it may rub the fender liner up front. It takes a good bit of work to fix that if it happens. Not positive it would happen to you though.
Elsuavechino-245/40 and then some 10mm spacers and a fender roll + maybe remove the rear bumper tab. Should look really good. Olorin2-his name is angrybumblebee I think. Just ask him as I don't remember which eyelids they are. |

Sorry for the off-topic post, but does anyone know what eyelids these are? KEI Office replicas?

be sure to paint the backs when you paint them or the light will shine through

okay so i want a set of p45r's. would an 18x9.5 +20 be a difficult fit, or what would i be better off getting

I don't yet have the car, I'm still waiting for the right one to turn up, I need an auto for medical reasons and they're rare in the UK, so just looking into my options.
Looking at 45mm front drop and 40mm rear, but I'm not sure if I should go with something like this;

hocknscary - it depends on how much you lower it. 9.5 +20 will require some permanent modifications to the fenders so I'd say that's too aggressive for a newb. It's not hard stuff to do though. Look more at +30-40
mizx - if you are low enough and do the work, that is entirely possible. It isn't a matter of just throwing the wheels on there and driving away though. I went for the 9.5s personally but there are some 10s that have a little more concavity but would be a bit harder to fit without stretching tires. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-m...0/IMG_0179.JPG 9.5 +28F/+23R with 245/40 |
I have an 05 RX8 gt with stock brakes and suspension, will a set of winter 225/55/17's fit on the Mazda 3 gt 17" rims? I have a good deal for rims and tires separately and as such am curious.
|
I don't know any of that winter stuff. I do know those are taller than stock and I don't like recommending that regardless of setup. Wheels and tire width are fine obviously.
|
Is that height difference an issue for anything other than the speedometer?
|
Yea but it's not usually an issue for stock height people with stockish offset wheels. I'd just hate to say it's gonna be fine and then not be. I have no recollection of how much space there was. It would rub behind the front tire on the plastic (metal behind it is the important part). You SHOULD be fine though.
