As for wheel specs, 18x9 +35 all around with Dunlop Star Specs 255/35. Rest of the info is all on my blog under the build section. :D

Nice updates on the blog!

The 255 flush with the fender or is it abit out?

Both Hoosiers and the Dunlops are flush I suppose but it all depends on your camber. Thanks for checking the updates too

I think that could be the angle/reflections making things seem that way. Ings sides fit on pretty snug, though under the rear door on other Ings sides you can see the same thing. Doesn't really concern me much.

Here are a few more shots I recently uploaded. I need some sort of rear bumper/spats/something and a different trunk or lip spoiler asap!

Yeah?! Maybe WheelFlip can help? I tried calling them and leaving a message. If not, we will probably have to contact Speed Alliance in SD, I know they get barrels pretty quick. But that aside, Izzy looking at new wheels.

I would email rather than call. Wheelflip can definitely help you out. If you need top notch assistance, speak with Alex and let him know you're from 8club/tiltmode sent you. Top notch work, I'd love to see this happen!

OR if you are serious about getting this done in the near future, feel free to shoot me a PM and I can help make it happen. Not my business but I'm down to help a fellow rx8 owner get their car looking even better

Just lowered it on DNA (ebay) springs. I know I'll get bashed for going cheap on these, but they ride just as good as the Teins and Progressives that I've had on other cars and I like the height.
