Looking at a set of 19x8.5" ET45 wheels with 255/35-19 on a car with stock springs and Koni Sport struts. Will they fit at all 4 corners?

They should with stock height. I would be careful the fronts to avoid inner rubbing under steering lock situations.
Thanks for the help, James |

I'm at stock height and they ended up fitting perfect. No rubbing at any point lock to lock or in the back. I just got back from Deals Gap Rotary Rally, racking up around 600 miles on them. I attached a pic of the car at the event.
Thanks for the help, James |

That's fantastic! Looks sharp. How do you find the handling compared to the skinnier 225?
I was pulling just over 1G laterally in some of the turns on the dragon according to my Garmin Virb data. for all seasons, I'm pretty pleased. |
Hi all, I just picked up an 8. I have extra wheels laying around so I was wondering with coilovers, would 18x9.5 +22 with 255/35 fit with a fender roll? What kind of alignment setting would I need?

My thought is you'd have quite a bit of poke, but if you're going for "stance nation" then maybe that's good? :hahano: You might want to let everyone know what you're going for to get a good answer, but my two cents is it's a bad idea. I'm no expert though. |
+22 & 9.5" wide wheels will give you poke. Aggressive alignment will net you hellaflush look if you are into that sort of thing.
Some tires even at 255/35 might rub at the front on steering lock conditions. |
04 rx8
for the show only not racing in the rear 11 inch tires size (( 315 30 18 )) i want the wheels to be inside the fender as much as possible maybe 7.2 back spacing? with fender roll lowered 1 in or 1.5 the tires will touch the suspension? |
Rota RT5-R2 17x10 +50 fit with some minor grinding/shaving to the front calipers and brackets. good outboard space, a wee bit close up front to the coilover but no rubbing thus far with the bilstein B12 suspension kit. I have absolutely no fender mods. running 255/40/17 autocross street tires.

Changing Tires
Looking to go to 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports Currently have the stock 225/40/19 Bridgestone Potenzas and have no rubbing at all with my current suspension setup: Stock Bilstein Shocks with Tein S-Techs Front: 20mm Spacers Rear: 25mm Spacers Wheels: Stock R3 19in BBS Wheels Tires:225/40/19 Potenzas No rubbing My understanding is that going to 245/35/19 is a shorter sidewall and therefore I should have more clearance? Does that sound right? Just want to make sure I won't rub if I get new wider tires for autocross. |
Those tires are super wide for stated size. Why do you have spacers in autox?

Do you recommend sticking to 225/40/19 then? Should I be taking them off for the track? Thanks for the insight |
I love those R3 wheels! Too bad the +50 offset results in a tucked in look. While I am not a fan of spacers I can see why you are running them to compensate.
IIRC the R3 wheels is 19x8. So 245 is ok for front. The rear might rub if you hit bumps and dips when loaded. Assuming you are on stock alignment and using those spacers. |

HAHAHAHHAHAHA 9K. Wider LOOKS better?

Didn't try to roll anything.... Bought the car cheap and it needed two fenders anyway so I figured I'd put the s2 fenders and lights. I sold the old bumper and headlights and bought 2used lights and a custom front bumper. I'm not that into it to care if it's a replica .
