Will It Fit Thread
#8051
Hey guys I was wondering about rota spectrums
19x10 5x120 +37mm, 72.6 Hub Bore (Set of 4 Wheels)
Thats on a stock set up 6 speed. Any reviews of these wheels they look awesome but couldn't find much info about weights or anybody who had them on a 8. Any info or reviews of them would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any last thoughts on this??
I never ended up getting tires i mentioned before but I'm going to place an order before the weekend is through. I've decided on Nitto NT05's but im still debating between 275/35/18 and 265/35/18.
Current Tires (245/40/18):
Overall diameter - 25.8"
Overall width - 9.5"
Option 1
275/35/18:
Overall diameter - 25.63"
Overall width - 10.79"
Option 2
265/35/18:
Overall diameter - 25.31"
Overall width - 10.59"
I fear the 275's will rub even after a roll and these will be used on the track so it worries me. But the 265 seem kind of small in the diameter department. I hate the low-pro look.
One update to my original note is that i'm on JIC coilovers now. So i have much more freedom to adjust the ride height but i want these to be nicely nestled under the fenders with no rubbing and as much rubber on the ground (and sidewall) as possible.
Thoughts?

I feel like this may be a little overkill on tire homework but I found a good deal on a set of tires but im not sure if they are going to fit with my current set up. They are 275/35/18 and would be going on a 18x9 +29. Im currently on Koni yellows with Tien S-tech springs.
I'm all for fender rolling but i just want to make sure i'll have enough room even after rolling the fenders. If you have an opinion on how much rolling would be necessary i would appreciate that feedback as well.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I promise there is actually tread still left on these tires. This is just a flopped camber worn tire![Lol2](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/lol2.gif)

springs have been on for well over 50000 miles lol. My car is sitting at 78k right now. It was one of the first mods i did when i bought it in 06. Most of the stuff Ive done is to keep my car running right. Once i pay it off this year i will start modding it a bit more

So i'm guessing that means I'm going to have some problems with fitment? I've seen a couple of members running this setup.
So would 255/35/18 or maybe even some 245/35/18 be a better tire choice; and coilovers are coming soon after I get the wheels fitted to the body.
