yes, 235/35/19

Motomouse 09-05-2008 09:18 PM

19x9.5 42mm offset all 4 corners with 275/35/19
Do they fit???? I can roll the fenders but I dont want front to stick out from the fender

Thanks

alexisthemovie 09-05-2008 10:28 PM

yes will fit, whether it rubs or not will depend on your ride height. 9.5 +42 will not poke out at all.

NgoRX8 09-05-2008 10:33 PM

you will rub with that tire size. the tire diameter is too big.

275/30/19

alexisthemovie 09-05-2008 11:12 PM

depends on the height, i don't think it'll rub if it was at stock or near stock height. But you're right, 275/35 is for 18" wheels.

NgoRX8 09-05-2008 11:31 PM

oh it can clear the front and rear fenders fine, but that tire size will rub the front fender wells/lining. a 275/30/19 is smaller than stock, which is what necessary to run aggressive setups up front. whether it's small enough for a car with a drop, i can't say.

Motomouse 09-06-2008 05:11 PM

thanks guys!!
Iam droped on hipermax (thanks Ngo for tips with install) SO if I roll the fenders I will be safe with 275/30/19??

NgoRX8 09-08-2008 01:17 PM

ahh yes, you installed the hipermax, i forgot. lol no problem man.

if you roll the fenders you will clear them easy. your front tires might rub the fender liner on the inside when you do full turns, but its more of an annoyance than a problem.

if you do go with that setup lettme know if it rubs with your drop. thanks :)

Motomouse 09-08-2008 06:49 PM

upload your pics at imageshack.us and then post them here.

feloracing26 09-08-2008 07:56 PM

Thnx ...

feloracing26 09-08-2008 07:57 PM

Actually here is my Cardomain site http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3122461 ... at has all the pics, much easier but i will start using the website u gave for the future !

feloracing26 09-08-2008 07:58 PM

I should be lowerin the Front like 1" and the back maybe 1/2" ... Wha you guys think?

alexisthemovie 09-08-2008 09:46 PM

imo 19's are as big as you should go on an rx8... 20's look too big, just my opinion.

Definitely lower it though, looks like a 4x4 right now.

Hard to tell from the angles of your pics but it looks like the wheels are sticking out past the fenders. If so then you will need some negative camber to get them tucked under the wheel wells. What offset did you go with? Post up some pics from behind the car.

feloracing26 09-09-2008 11:05 AM

The back rims are tucked in but the fron rims are Right on the fender edge ... I will post some pics 2morrow of the back view since it is raining hard here in Philly..

feloracing26 09-09-2008 11:06 AM

I think I will need some negative camber on the fron set but very little ...

feloracing26 09-09-2008 11:07 AM

I have no clue what the offset was but I will find out ... I think it is a high offset ...something bettween 37 to 40 something ... I will check later

NgoRX8 09-09-2008 01:08 PM

you went with the wheels without knowing the offsets? lol close one. looks like some negative camber will set that front nicely. do you rub at all?

jowettw 09-09-2008 06:54 PM

Will a staggered setup fit on stock RX8 wheels?

Front 225/40 R18
Rear 245/45 R18

Thanks.

NgoRX8 09-09-2008 07:43 PM

that 225/40/18 front and 245/45/18 rear would be drag style. your tire would be puny up front and huge in the back.

staggered would fit, but I don't recommend it on stock wheels. most people stagger the wheels for the looks, staggering the tires on stock wheels is pointless and will screw up your handling.

boost8myrx 09-09-2008 07:49 PM

Complicated question for the wheel gods!

OK, so here is the deal

19x8.5 F 42 (or 45 may be available)

19x10 R 42 (OR 45 may be available)

What is the widest set of tires that can fit on the car (stock bodied 04 6spd). I don't mind doing just a touch of fender trimming if need be.

Also what impact would lowering the car 1" all around have on this fitment ?

I love my 8 but i hate the little donuts that came from the factory!

^you'll be fine

Thank you! :)

I came across a killer deal on some"all season" tires on Craigslist with these measurements. They are from a 350Z ... We don't get much if any snow on the west coast.
