ok, here is my question!
I am stock ride height, FOR NOW. I am getting wheels, BEFORE i get the drop.
Having said that, I am confused as to what +35,+22,+15 means regarding wheels. I want an aggressive look, not flush. so, what do those numbers mean? Now, can i do this with stock height? If I can, when I do lower it, will it be worse?
I know ppl have their own opinion on what it'll look like. I want pictures of stock height with different "+" sizes of wheels. I don't want to be told "Bro, ur an a** head if u think that looks cool!!" Just pictures, and actual information!
Thank you!

So read this thread, there are lots of aggressive set ups here. The reason you wont find alot of aggressive wheels on stock suspension is because it looks like crap, so people dont do it.
Also, read this for an offset explanation https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-whe...ls-rx8-232206/

This guy is local to me, and I'm considering buying his setup. Now, I've got Tein S-techs, and these tires don't seem very beefy. Would my car look completely stupid with such a moderate drop?
Not really certain I'm a huge fan of his tire size choice. Seems like he chose this size to minimize work to make it fit? I thought I would come here, first, the good-&-the-bad. I appreciate all you do

Oh those are Cam's wheels! I think you should buy them, good price. I don't know why J is saying it would look bad. Before I had stance coils I was on stech's also on a similar setup and I thought it looked good.
EDIT: just get different tires.

Yeah, the tires (especially the rear tires) are my concern, but I dig the wheels. I can figure out what better options from the Aggressive fitment thread, but I'll more than likely end up running these tires for a little while. I just don't want it to look terrible in the interim. Thanks for the input - I'm still open to input from anyone else.

Ok, so I am looking at upgrading my wheels and I want to go strickly performance, but keeping the wheels durable enough for street use. I'm thinking of getting CE28N 10spoke at 17x9 or 17x9.5 (forget if they make a 9.5). I want to keep my side wall at 45 so I'm looking at getting my car adjusted for the smaller set up (currently on 18's).
I do not have custom suspension.
Questions I have are:
What offset is best for performance? Stability, acceleration, cornering, etc. I also don't want to have to extend my fenders so what numbers should I be running to keep it flush, or slightly in?
Other than the speedo reading wrong and me needing an alignment, what else will I have to adjust when downsizing 18's to 17's while maintaining same side wall?
Will I have tire rub with these sizes when turning full left to right? How to fix or prevent?
If I left something out, let me know and I will respond.

Rota Grids
18x9.5 ET38 all 4 corners
Will it fit with no rubbing or rolling?
Also which tyres would you recommend, car has high power and struggles for traction on stock setup. Dont want to adjust car (fenders/rolling etc)
am running rx7 engine conversion with greddy single turbo. 450bhp. need the traction :-)
