Why the different sized tires on front from back? There is no reason to get the same sized rims and then get different sized tires. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/polaks-im-going-take-pretty-pictures-my-car-thread-119913/ I have the same rims with 245s (didn't know I was getting the rims or I would have gone 255), but I won't have them mounted until Monday.

Your car's awesome mate.
I was hoping someone else had these wheels cause i went to the tire place and they said they weren't going to fit and tried to get me to buy some of there shitty mags after i just got my rays. um the different tire size i just got recomended that. You reckon i should go 255 all around? Thanks Nathan. |

First post woo.
Um will 18x9.5 all around +38 offset fit. Was thinking of running 265 on back and 245 on front. |
255/40/17 on a 8.5" wheel?
|
Yes, it'll fit as long as that wheel is also 17".
|
I hate to ask but will this fit: 20in, width 9.5J, bolt 5 x 114.3, and offset 45 without any modifications? If so, what is a recommended tire size?
|
Why 20's? Are you lowered? if you are you may have a problem

this may have already been answered but i am thinking of running this combo for wheels and tires also i have the mazdaspeed lowering springs .5-inch and the stiffer springs from them too:
18x8.5 +40 - 245/35 tires 19x9.5 +35 - 275/35 tires i am currently running: 18x8.5 +40 - 235/40 18x9.5 +35 - 265/35 no real problems didn't have to get the fenders rolled but when the car is loaded (people,groceries) there is a slight rub in the rear but only when i go over bumps and stuff. Any help on the new combo is appreciated |
You will need to roll the rear, but negative camber should help you clear as well.
|
MS springs are a .8" drop, and that .3" could really matter. You had 265s in the back and they only rubbed when loaded down and big bumps? Nice. I have 9.5" +38 and I wasn't wanting to roll the fenders just yet.

|

What is the offset? Since your running OEM width, chances for rubbing are slim to none, unless you are running a uber low offset/
oh yeah... im using +35 offset.... thanks! |
^You should be fine.
|
thanks! coz just by looking at it on stock height, im trying to imagine it with 2 inches lower looks like it will rub...
anyways u guys are more pro than me so i'll take ur advices! thanks! |
^If u wanna look at the drop from the spring, look at my spring thread, its a sticky in the picture section
|
18x8.5, +29 off, lowered 1.5" on tein basics.
i was thinking of 235/40/18. what are opinions on the fit or needing a roll? |
Yeah, you may need a slight roll, but you could just add more - camber.
|
ok thanks, i might try getting a 225 40 18 as well. i have a pretty decent amount of neg camber now anyway, i was running an 18x8.5 +37 in back with a 265 35 18 and never had a single rub
|
Can someone tell me if 245/40/18 will fit on the stock rim? Is this the widest you would want to go on stock?
|
245/40/18 definitely fits. It is very common. According to some other threads, 255s will fit as well.
