I am considering in selling the 18 Oem rims+tires(which are in perfect shape)and putting in some bigger sizes...I was going to chrome them but i think bigger will look better

I am collecting the info right now so i can have a little chat with my friend in the rims shop to make the order.

Is it good choice to have different tires dimensions in front rear wheels??What tires dimensions to chose with 19rims and 20rims size to have the smallest lost in performance???

Will i have problems in driveability or big lost in performance??I will try to purchase very light rims...I will purchase in the upcoming months front+rear mazdaspeed sway bars and maybe autoexe strutbar

Any ideas on rims??please post any pics if you have a good rim for a Velocity Red 8.

Either size would't bother me...:D :D :D

Here are some rims i like

whats the last wheel? I am also interested in the widest wheel/tire combo for the rx8

if you get a 19x8.0 rim, use 245/35/19, your rims will be larger, and the tires thinner, giving you the same dimentions as stock, thus no speedo issues.

20" rims is a bit much for me.

What about these: Mazdaspeed 19" Rims

They are brand new!
QWWS 3M G40 02 wheels (set of 4): $4,115.00
QWS137007 nut (set of 20) $100
QWWS3719C 12 center cap (set of 4) $186

Those rims are 1/6th the cost of the base 6MT.

Also, $200 for center caps? They better be made out of solid gold

:eek: Pretty amazing isn't it?

19" 245/35
18: 245/40

I believe 245/35/19 will be good or else 235/35/19..
I am between this rims and i love the kahn's.
Tell me your opinion.I also think the mille miglia (the first foto) are out of fashion.
The 2 last fotos are Kahn's Rims...

Looking at the third photo over, well that looks pretty damn good. What size are those? I think 19's are the way to go on this car due to the LARGE wheel wells...

On a side note if I may, I'm beginning to wonder if I have my suspension set correctly. My front wheel gap looks bigger than my rear wheel gap as compared to that photo. I must check this out tonight.

From what i know this red 8 id dropped with tein and this wheels are 19s.the same wheels as the blue 8 but the blue is not lowered.

whats the last wheel? I am also interested in the widest wheel/tire combo for the rx8


Please tell us: What is that third wheel in your FIRST post?

edit: Never mind, I found them.

Yokohama my friend.You could just place your mouse over the pic!! :) Nice Rim.One of my favourite and they have it from 18-20!!

if you get a 19x8.0 rim, use 245/35/19, your rims will be larger, and the tires thinner, giving you the same dimentions as stock, thus no speedo issues.

20" rims is a bit much for me.

im kind of curious if there will be any rubbing problems on the 245/35/19 on the front on a lowered rx8 with ms spring/shocks? has anyone done this? i've seen 235 19"s on a lowered front but 245?

A bit of rolling in the inside of the fender i think...but i am no sure and i have not lowered my car so far.So just a guess!!
