rim advice and opinions
 

hey there guys, i just recently bought an 07 rx8 in nordic green.
I am considering getting the AVID.1 AV06 18x9.5 in bronze,
here is the URL to a photo of the rims
AVID.1 AV06 BRONZE Wheels - Buy AVID.1 Wheels Online at Victoria Tire & Wheel


will these rims require any rolling at all? and does any one have any good website suggestions to purchase rims?
other rim suggestions welcomed!!

thanks!

That is missing offset and tire size. Ride height? Many questions left to answer. Read thread in my signature

the offset on the avid.1 AV06 is +24mm, and im not sure of what size tires would be best to run for a good fit for the rim and my car... (not into streching)
and for the mean time i plan on just running stock height

Bad choice. Try again. Too low of an offset

J, I was reading the thread in your signature, and I have a few questions:

1) I will be using the stock wheels, and dropping the car 1" to 1.25" on coilovers you mention using an offset of +30 to +50 less 5mm for the inch drop. So the spacer would be +25 mm, correct?

2) I am using factory speck 225/45/18's however you state they could cause problems with their height, what do you recommend size wise? or will the fenders need to rolled?

Yes 25mm would work. 245/40 is the common choice. 225/45 May be ok though.

The problem tall tires could cause wouldn't be mitigated by a roll. There is a metal ridge behind the fender liner that will rub when turning.

Thanks. If I am not going for the flush look, is the spacer still required?

Not required.

Stock suspension and brakes all 4 corners 19x9.5 wheels with 255/35 r19 tires. Wil it fit?

40 et*

Found my answer on an earlier post. My only question now is the 40 offset going to be right?

+40 offset with the 265/30 would be perfect.

Thank you sir

Help with Volk TE37SL
 

hi all,

I have a 2009 rx8 R3. Looking to replace the stock rims with Volk Racing TE37SL.

Here are my requirements:

Ideally want to keep the size 19" rather than downsize to 18.
Want to run the widest possible tyre on the front and back with no rubbing.
Not looking to do negative camber, stretched tyres, etc. just a nice low fit with minimal wheel arch gap and usability on the street and track.

The car has adjustable coil overs and is running 20mm spacers front and back.

Can anyone recommend a rim and tyre size that will give me what I am after?

Thanks!

Well here it is, my current setup (still going to install my oem lip kit. :)

Gold XXR 530 F: 18x8.75 +20 205/40 R: 18x9.75 +20 215/40 ( YES i know, im stretching the tires)

Going on Meganracing Coilovers..

In case anyone was wondering......................................... .........................

Left quite a bit on the table because he didn't take any advice despite asking for it.

Nothing is more annoying than unnecessary tire stretch.

Speaking of fitment, this guy was hiding in the back at last months C&C. He doesn't get it.

FYI: On S-tech/Stock Shocks, 18x9.5 +22 on 245/40 will rub in rear on bumps. Pokes a bit. +30 option is probably best option.

Edit: Unless of course you do an alignment and adjust camber accordingly.

Did you roll the fenders or anything?

Help!

Looking for help

18x9.5 +10 all around looking at Michelin super sports for tires possible help picking the tire size too

Both of you, even the 17", will poke like that Subaru 9KRPMRX8 posted above. Idealy, with the 18 x 9.5, find an offset close to mine. With that in mind, tire size should be 245/45-18. A +10 offset will need serious work on both your suspensions and fenders. You want to go lower between +35 and +40.

Wrong size tire. 245/40/18. http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_S4-...ire/ES2770120/

Would a 18x9 +33 be better what size would tire would I need for that?
