ive dont a bit of lookin around on the forums and have found quite a bit of good info and feedback on staggered vs non-staggered on the rx8. probably a redundant question, but i would like a really aggressive look and i found the wheels i want on a staggered setup but i just dont know what dimensions this guy is running. i was hoping someone could help me out? or could give me a rough estimate at what im looking at? i know they are gold xxr 527's and i know he is on coil overs, but i just dont know what dimensions he's running. any ideas? comments?

 

IF you want an aggressive look then get tires that PROPERLY fit on a wheel (not that joke about trying to stretch a 175 tire onto a wheel meant for 265 tires) and that are large enough to fill your wheel well without using spacers.

If you want advice on how to destroy the camber of your car then check StanceNation, because I've kinda got a feeling that's where you're headed with this question.

265 would (off the top of my head) correspond with an approx 9.5" wide rim.

 

Guys, drop it.

It's not worth getting all wound up about.

 

Most likely 9.75 +20 with a 225/40 or 235/40 tire. That's just a guess. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Also it's probably not staggered. It shouldn't be if it is. What I said is able to fit with minimal work.

 

Done.


And nice ninja-edit Jnumbers

 

If you convert 265mm to inches you might be surprised. Not trying to start a fight. Being serious

 

It's all good. I'm running Star Specs on my FD. My rear tires are 265/17 (I don't remember the offset) on 17x9.5 Gram Lights, front tires are 235's (I believe, I'd have to check to be sure though) that correspond to 17x8.5's. I've also got HKS Hypermax PRO coilovers so my FD is sitting a little lower than stock.

Your sigged link seems to approve with the combination:

 

J's comment is that 265mm converts to 10.4 inches, not 9.5.

 

Just saw that you cleaned up the thread exchange. I'll just leave it alone

 

thank you all so much for the advice, i really think im going to go with 18x9.5 or 18x9.75 all around +20? 235's on front and 265's on rear? watcha think?

 

I think if you ever want to track it, you'll need a second set. With that setup under steer may be a problem

 

Same size tire all around. No reason not to do that

 

if i do go with same size all the way round, what size spacers would you suggest for a nice flush look?
