RX8's With 17' Wheels? Lets see some pics...
 
Trying to decide on a set.

So far I am really liking the Enkei RPF1's.

I have 17s for winter driving. ASA wheels and Dunlop SP Winter Sport M 215/55/17 tires.

Excellent choice! I have the same on my WORK wheels. Damn though, look at how much he rubs on those rear tires.

kersh4w 10-27-2008 06:27 PM

haha, i always mix up tires and wheels. i use rims and tires for that reason.

tires are nitto nt01 not 555's..all the rubbing was done before i trimmed more off my fenders. I need to add more negativety to my rear to fix this issue...you gotta pay to play..

XDEEDUBBX 10-29-2008 03:04 AM

btw, the fronts clear 100% no rubbing amazingly.

Rx8urZ 11-11-2008 04:13 PM

wats the offset on yous wheels deedubb and also tire size if you dont mind me asking?

cmr333 11-11-2008 04:43 PM

yeah i need to know width and offsets before i go shopping as well. i want to run staggered if at all possible and super low

dont do it. staggering is bad for handling, and seeing as you still have a relatively light engine in your bay, you still care about handling right? so just go by 9.5"s or 10"s all around

cmr333 11-11-2008 06:51 PM

10"s will fit all the way around holy shit! with what offset and tires? Or 9 " is good atleast tires are cheaper

Did you have to change your damper setting for your front and rear on your Hipermax coilovers to run this setup?

the pics would look better if they weren't hosted by photobucket. they take out too much info and make the photos look soso. i'm sure your MS paint skills could do a better job :lol2:

here are some other pics of dubb's wheels..

Can anyone specifically tell me what width, offset and tire dimensions dubb is running? He never specifically mentions it in his posts.

gilburns7 11-11-2008 10:55 PM

i believe he's running 17x10 all around. someone correct me if im wrong. tire size and offset have not been disclosed by mr dub himself. Its top secret. I would do the same thing too if i was him. Too many people will try to copy his style if he disclosed his offset and tiresize. People just have to experiment and mess around with offsets and tire sizes for themselves these days and what works best for them.
