1. You are in the wrong forum. This is for Series 2 RX8s (2009+)

2. You can find the answer to your question by using the "search" link up top of web page.

3. Consider yourself flamed....nicely.

Apparently you are since you cant search. If you had taken 120 seconds to do some simple searching, you would have discovered that 17" wheels are the recommended winter tire size. Its not hard....says SEARCH up top and you type what you are looking for...sigh.

if you get the right size rims, you can get a 245/40/17 in there. why would you want something that wide for the winter?

wait, i'm thinking 245/40/18... 245/40/17 would be a smaller diameter wheel/tire combo than stock, and would throw off your speedo and gearing... 245/45/17's would work better, i think...
