I'm looking at picking up DrifZ 302 18x8 with +40 offset and 225/40/18 tires all around. Will those fit no problem on a complete stock 05 rx8?

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

Slight update/bump
Switch the offsets from original post: F:18x8 (5x114.3) +50mm R:18x9 (5x114.3) +35mm Need help on tire sizes for Yokohama S-Drive: F: ??? R: ??? I already placed the order for Koni Shocks & Tein S-Springs from BHR, so my car will be lowered. Been doing a lot of research and I realized that the lower offset should be in the rear? So I should do +35mm in the rear and +50mm in the front? Also if I chose to do +35 all around, would I need spacers? I noticed some wheels have a hub of 56.1 and than I read that people say to stay away from spacers because it could cause problems in the future. So is there a specific hub value to stay with to avoid spacers? |
I like your name.

Alright so I just went ahead and ordered the Rota D2's but they only have them available in
F:18x8 (5x114.3) +48mm R:18x9 (5x114.3) +30mm Will this be fine on my car? I really need to know soon if anyone can help me out, the shop is waiting if I should cancel or go ahead with the order. The only thing is that the hub on the 18x8 is 56.1 and I know that we have a 67.1 hub. |
Why not get the 18x9 front and rear?

No setback at all. Only setbacks would be from going staggered.

Not at all. How did you come up with that?

Yea. Look up the tires on the manufacturer website and they will say a range of wheel widths for a particular tire size. The tire profile you proposed would be taller than stock too.
|
Could somebody please help me decipher this?
https://img203.imageshack.us/img203/373/0ds0.png Stock width is 8" so if I get 9s I can remove the spacers on my wheels and be the same as stock width, correct? Correct me if I'm wrong, but for our rotors which are 144.3 there's only 5 options for 18" wheels: 7 1/2 J Face-1, 8 1/2 J Face-1 9 1/2 J Face-2 9 1/2 J Face-3 10 1/2 J Face-3 So I guess I'm looking for 18x9, but I can't fit 9s. Would 9 1/2s be problematic or should I stick with 8 1/2s? Now what confuses me is the "Face", I have no clue what that means, I looked it up on google and got nothing. Also, based on the chart, will I have any problems fitting over the calipers with the 8 1/2s or 9 1/2s? |
Different faces usually correspond to brake clearance. I can't see your picture (likely due to using school wifi). I made a thread that has basic stuff to know for wheel fitment on here. You don't seem to grasp the basics. Maybe someone else can paste the link for you since I'm on my phone.
|
Oh you mean the one in you're sig? Yeah I was looking for that... And yeah I'm still learning all this.
EDIT: OK that thread explained a lot, thanks I'm beginning to grasp everything, I'll keep researching when I have a little more time. |
Alright so after looking around and doing some research, I found out from RavSpec that the higher the face number, the more concave it is.
I *think* 18x9 1/2 (5x114.3) +46mm is the right choice, all 4. Also for tires, please correct me if I'm wrong: 245/40/18 taller than 35 255/40/18 is a little wider than 245 275/35/18 is widest and shortest What do you think would be best? |
Stock Rx-8
Forgestar F14 18x10 offset ???? 275/40-18 |
40 for easy fit.....anything less than 30 will be a lot of work
275-35-18 would be best |
