would the 245 rear be stretched looking? or would it fit regularly?

Just bought rear setup, (will need to roll)
18x9.5 +25 (BBS RGR)
285/30/18 tires (G force KD)

i need to know about the fronts:
18x8.5 +23 (BBS RGR)
the tires i really want are 265/40/18 (G force KD)

Or, should i go with:
255/35/18 (G Force Profiler)

will the front tires fit?
thanks

Your will rub, if you are lowered. Just get rolled. 265 won't fit, 255 better.

imput, should i go with 245/40 or 255/35 all around with 18x8.5?

TopGear8 11-14-2008 12:06 AM

^245/40 would be better for 8.5. If you want you could do 245 in the front and 255 in the rear...but Personally I think the 245/40's would be better.

volcomx31 11-14-2008 12:07 AM

thanks toppy

imput1234 11-14-2008 12:59 AM

Either way would be good.
The difference is the same as how people go from 225 on the stock wheel to 245.
I would do 255 all around.

Thanks for the help Imput. After further research, i found i will not be able to run the 285s in the rear, so i will do 265s on rear, and either 255 or 245 in the front. All depends on what i find on ebay.

alexisthemovie 11-14-2008 03:40 AM

you can indeed run 285's although I see no reason to. The RX-8 doesn't have enough power to move those haha.

advan rs
18x9 +29 all around with 245/40/18 falken fk452's. will it work if i wanna lower on some s.techs? and how will it look? any recommendations or insight would be appreciated.

This should fit depending on the spokes, I had my R34 Skyline 18x9 +30 on my rx8 for a test fit with 245/40-18's. I was lowered on H&R's and everything cleared fine for me.

imput1234 11-14-2008 10:59 PM

Just roll your fenders.

volcomx31 11-14-2008 11:20 PM

will 255/35/18x8.5 all around rub at all?

swoope 11-14-2008 11:26 PM

All depends on the offset, and how low you are. If your not too low, it wont rub.

swoope 11-14-2008 11:49 PM

wow,

i kinda messed that up.. if you are above 38 offset you should be ok.. depends on the drop..


beers :beer:

cmr333 11-15-2008 03:55 PM

imput1234 11-15-2008 05:49 PM
