thank you

Hey guys, general question, not rx8 related,

Is it safe to run a 305/30/19 tire on a 19x10 wheel? I heard that sidewall would get soft and could be dangerous too. thanks

WhiteSnowflake8 04-05-2009 06:12 PM

I just got set of 17x10s RPF1s SBC, will be running 275/40/17 NT05s. Would a roll be necessary? I do have coilovers. Or another size would limit me from doing this? I have 2 weeks before a trip to Deals Gap and would like to know so i can get them before the event.
Thanks

here's the post and i checked the 5zigen owners page and theres someone with the same look as these. opinion

Yeah, they will be fine, although concave all around would be a lot better.

It's safe, but on an rx8 it really wont fit.

What is the offset? If it is 45 like everyone else you will be fine.

WhiteSnowflake8 04-05-2009 06:46 PM

Its 38 mm

imput1234 04-05-2009 06:51 PM

You'll be fine, if your low you might rub in the rear.

WhiteSnowflake8 04-05-2009 06:54 PM

Cool! thanks for the help

What is the widest wheel I can run a 245/40 without stretching?

pdxhak 04-06-2009 10:02 AM

I'm thinking 8"

Sorry actually thinking up to 9.5" wide but I'm sure the more knowledgeable posters will respond soon.

Anything about 8" would technically be a stretch, but in reality you can probably run up to 10" wheel and be fine.

J8635621 04-06-2009 10:49 AM

I have 245/40 on a 9.5 and it's not my cup o' tea lol. The tire is a bit too skinny for me.

9krpmrx8 04-06-2009 11:39 PM

Haha, I don't really want to stretch my brand new tires and the rims I want are 8.5 so I should be okay then.

streettuner08 04-08-2009 02:09 PM

will Rota P-45r 18 x 9.5 +35 with 275 tires fit on an s-tech drop

HockeyRX-8 04-08-2009 03:09 PM

^ yes, but you'll rub in the rear. My new wheels are the same specs with 275 tires and I rub in the rear. The front is perfect and does not rub.

streettuner08 04-08-2009 03:29 PM

Will fender rolling fix that, and then what would happen if they were only 30 offset because its looking like thats all they have

sapper1stad 04-08-2009 04:30 PM

BBS RX 17" x 9" all around

Stock suspension for now. Can't find a clear answer on the offset since they were last used on a '94 Mustang GT ages ago. I told the guy to break out his ruler and get back to me but does anyone know the offset for these?

J8635621 04-08-2009 04:36 PM

I imagine they made more than one offset but they will probably work.

fender rolling will fix that. With the +30, you will need a roll and maybe some more camber.

streettuner08 04-08-2009 05:16 PM

Ok because its lookin like +30 is all I can get. thanks

big difference? i just want to make sure evrything will be good

This will fit but you'll have to roll it with 265s, doesn't matter what you run the 9s or the 10s...

Phi 04-09-2009 07:32 PM

18x9.5 +38 lowered .7 in the rear
will 265/35/18 be good with out and rubbing? or should i go 255/40/18?

sapper1stad 04-09-2009 10:36 PM

Alright, I got all the info now:
17 x 9 +28 all around, stock suspension. What kinda rubber can I fit on these without fender roll but with spacers if necessary?

dannobre 04-09-2009 10:57 PM

They will rub with anything over 245/255's spacers won't help...they would make it worse

HyJynx V 04-10-2009 04:54 AM

I picked up a set of SSR Type C RS 19x8.5 +40 and will be lowered on s-techs. I am thinking 245/35/19 or 255/35/19. Any issues with either?
