I'm getting the 2009 EBM (Electric Blue Mica) RX-8 R3 in about a month or so and I've been looking at a few rims that I could get. I've pretty much got it down to two different ones but I'm also wondering if the specifications I am getting would work without having to make any extra modifications to the car and zero rubbing.
The thing I'm wondering is for a balance between looks and performance should I get staggered or should i get the same specifications for front and back? If I should get all the same would the one listed below be good?
F/R: 19x9.5 + 35 (235/35R19)
Oh and I'm guessing Electric Blue Mica is similar to Winning Blue?

On stock suspension at full load the tire WILL grab the fender. You can probably get away with it if you run a slim 245 tire and stiff suspension.
I'll be leaving the suspension as is for the first few months so I guess I'll do the roll if I have no choice. I don't really want to "cut it close" and have a stiff suspension.
19 x 9.5 + 35 with 255/35R19 with fender looks like my final choice.
Any idea as to where the best place to order them would be from? I've looked around a bit and prices do vary from site to site but I want to know which one is the most reliable.
to be honest - i always try our forum vendors before shopping elsewhere. Our vendors to pay in order to advertise on this forum so whenever possible, i give a little back.
