What wheel dimensions to avoid fender rolling/tire rubbing?
Let me first say that I'm a newbie when it comes to aftermarket auto parts. This is the first care that I liked enough to want to improve it.
I'm considering getting new 18" wheels on a stock 2004 rx8. I've read around that some members needed to do some fender rolling to avoid rubbing. What type of tire dimensions should I look for in order to avoid having to roll the fenders?
Width? (7.5, 8, 8.5"....)
Offset? (38, 40, 45mm ... ) <--- This I don't really understand much.
I hope this isn't too silly of a question.

You can get up to 9.5 without any rubbing if the offsets are correct. Check the Enkei RPF1 thread for the correct offset.
