Need different wheels. Tired of my bad MB Alpinas... Looking at some cheap Focal XFF's.

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...4&autoModClar=

Some research and I found someone running them on a GenCoupe saying the specs are
18x8.5 all around 5x114.3
and running tires 225/45R-18

will it fit?

Thanks!

yeah as long as the offset isn't like -30 you'll be okay lol.

Good Gawd this thread is still going??

LOL...and just as retarded as ever ;)

Wheel Diameter (F/R) - 18
Wheel Width (F/R) - 10
Wheel Offset (F/R) - 18 or 38
Suspensions Changes - megan racing coilovers

Also tires I would probly run 235/40

Im looking at some xd9's. I was just wondering where the wheels would sit on the +38 in relation to the fender. I realize it depends a bit on ride height but i dont mind changing that. I already got a roll and not really looking to pull which I would probly have to do with the +18 i would imagine.

Alright what do you guys think, will i have any turning issues or scraping issues?
Enkei RPF1 18x9 +35 pretty basic rim so i dont think ill have an issue but id rather ask first

I want XXR 530's also, but I want 17's since they're easier to spin (they're for drifting only). I need some advice on wheel width and fitment (I'm on stock suspension but might get a rear sway bar in the future). I want slightly stretched tires for less contact and roll. Should I go 7 inch wide or 8.25 inch wide (they're both +35mm offset). Will I find tires to stretch on 7 inch wide wheels? Will there be more tires for 8.25 inches wide?

ANYONE is free to add input, especially drifters.

Your gonna have some skinny ass tyres if your planning to stretch onto 7inch wheels. My advice is good coilovers and a 9 to 10inch wide wheel

If you're drifting you should consider suspension long before wheels. And mine are the 9.75 width with +20 offset on a 245/40R18.

what exhaust is that?

HKS HiPower. That pic is getting old. My car is way more neglected these days.

I can't drift my daily wheels and tires. Suspension comes when I find out what I need by the feel of it when I actually drift it. And I do plan on getting a rear sway bar in the future. Thank you, though.

Okay, 8.25 it is then. Thank you for the advice!

You hardly took my advice. I dont see the point if going 1/4 inch wider than stock

You don't get into drifting by being a genius

I want slight stretch for less tire roll and contact. 9 or 10 inches wide would have too much contact. I'm trying to get something easy to spin and slide. My purpose is drifting. 17's are easier to spin than 18's and I don't want to mess up my cruising wheels (factory).

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

would 19x8.5 +35 on 235/35 front and 19x9.5 +40 on 265/30 rear look good? getting ksport coilovers after rims

If I get tuner lug nuts, I don't have to get different bolts. Do I? Just to be sure, I need 12x1.5 nuts, correct?

yah

Ordering rims and tires the first of November. Anybody have pics of this setup?
18x8.5 front +35mm w/245-40-18
18x9.5 rear +40mm w/275-35-18

Yeah but the rx8 drifts very easily on 225s so if your planning to stretch a tyre onto a 8.25 wide wheel you'll be using a 195 or 205? Its gonna drift like shit. A good suspension set up will help you more than what you're proposing.

Inb4 you end up stacking it into a wall backwards

So I plan on buying these wheels by today or tomorrow, but I could use some help. I have an 05 RX-8 and it's on stock wheels and stock suspension.

I wanted to go for a
F:18x8 (5x114.3) +35mm
R:18x9 (5x114.3) +50mm

I do plan on purchasing tires as well, I'm interested in purchasing the Hankook V12 EVO's. What size should I get them? Cause the tires I have on now are 225/45/18 all around. So I wasn't sure if I should stay with that or need to adjust a bit since my wheels width are a bit different. Also do I even need the TPMS? Thanks again in advance all!

EDIT: Okay so just a little note, I just finished purchasing some Koni shocks front & rear as well as the Tein S-Tech Spring Set if that has to be taken into consideration with wheels & tires

what rims are those

They are the Rota D2's, I was going to go for the SSR Professor SP1, but they are out of my price range and the Rota D2's seem to be the next closest thing...lol
