hi,

have some question regarding rims to enquire... if I have a front setup of using 18x8 offset 30 using 225/40 tyres, and rear setup of using 18x9 offset 40 using 245/40 tyres, can this fit into RX8??

hope someone can help and advise...

cheers

 

hi, i'm using front 235/40/18, rear 265/35/18. so far no rubbing and any other prob. the only thing is consumption will increase a bit.

 

HI BRO,

but what's your offset of your rims? btw, what rim you using?? I am also staying in the east... maybe we can exchange number and meet up one of these days... and mine also 4 speed auto!! heehee...

cheers

 

me using enkei borbet, think the offside shld be 30. btw, going to change to another set of rims setup abt the same from my current . now still waiting for it... do u happen to stay ard bedok, cos saw a black 8 sometime back....np, will pm u my contact.
talking abt auto transmission, do u hear a "clonking" sound wif jerking while driving at abt 20-30kph? dunno whether its something wrong wif the transmission. thks

 

yo bro, no I am staying in Bedok, I stay in tampines... so what rims you changing to?? that rim set up not bad looking... ok, you let me know your number, then we can meet up, at least we both staying in the East...

regarding the sound, I never recall any clocking sound coming out from the engine... maybe it's the way you drive, that's why... so far so good for the drive...

you using both offset 30 for front and rear?? does the rim protrude out of the wheel arches?? coz I have offset 30 for front and offset 40 for rear, that's why I haven't got the rims... I am also waiting for my coilovers and bodykit to come, will be coming soon, hope so...

cheers

 

oic, actually i live at pasir ris, but normally i'll be at bedok.
the offset i gave u is a rough memory of mine, but the next set of rims i get will be front 31, rear 32. as i'm base on my current setup, i'm no expert in these, better let the "old bird" here to give some comments on your setup.
actually, the sounds not always there, maybe is due to the transmission oil still cold...normally it happen when i park my car for long hours...

p.s the next rims i'm getting will be something like the veilside ANDREW Baccarat.

wow, I think that's called the fan rims... not bad, but I don't k\like the design, too loud... heehee... but do you know where can we check what's the suitable offset that can fit our car?? I don't what will happen if I get a rim with offset of both 45 on front and rear...

cheers

 

i frequent visit southeast tyre at kaki bukit, maybe they can help u wif the offset for the 8.
btw, u getting buddy club rims, heard they hv 19" for our car... at first wanted to get that, but the design not loud for me leh...hehe

 

Those veilside rims are a bit too bling bling for me!
