What sized tires are you guys running on these..... I am sitting on S-Techs with Koni Yellows and I'm looking at a set of 18x9.5 +30mm and I'm told I will have a good chance of rubbing...... no big deal if I need to roll fenders.

Currently running 18x9.5 +20 with 235/40 fits perfect with no rubbing and quarters are rolled. I had 245/40 Michelin PSS which run very wide and they rubbed the rear quarters alot. When it was time for new rubber I went down a size to 235s. But my car was much lower back then.

I have since raised my car by alot. I'll be getting 255/35 for my next tires. You can fit meaty tires if you slightly pull the rear quarters and cut down the bumper retainer tab. Also depends on how low you are but with Koni/Tein you prob won't have a huge problem. You can probably fit 18x9.5 +30 255/35 with a fender roll.

Awesome thanks for the info.... I will need a roll for sure.... Potentially a slight shave of the bumper tabs and corners I'm thinking just because when I hit some bigger bumps the tein's have much more travel than coil overs..... Eventually will move to some coil overs but for now this is what I'm dealing with

Looks great man!! Seems like you did a good job on the wrap and kudos for not ruining the VR. wrap is the way to go for color changes on a whim

Did you mold the sidemarkers away or just cover them??

Thanks man! I actually wrap proffesionally with my brother.

I shaved the side markers, kinda used the amber lense as backing, reinforced and then smoothed over them.

Had an RX-8, sold it got a Cobra. Sold it got an Evo. Sold it got this.

Wheels are Rotiform ROC. 10.5R +35 9.5F +38 275R 255F


Selling the wheels this spring. Going for Battles. Ripping off this shitty dip and going with AutoDip.

That *almost* looks like phantom blue 32c without clear coat. IF it was I'd say just add clear coat and have the BEST color ever, none of that bleeding shooting out *** at high velocity diarrhea red sh*t







C'mon, don't be butt hurt VR lovers

Phantom Blue, the color everyone thinks is the shittiest RX-8 color because in most light that is what it looks like, Nordic Green.

You saw right thru my plot...

Power has been out for more than 24 hours now, they estimate 3-5 more BUSINESS days at minimum before it gets restored, so I'm bored, can't run power tools and may likely be posting more than usual, just preparing y'all

I still think VR is the most fitting color for these cars. However, I will say Montego Blue and Vintage Red on FD's look the best for them.

Maybe I'm just a fanboy for red. My girlfriends a redhead, so that explains alot of it.

I agree that MB looks great on the FD.
And I have nothing against red (or any color for the 8, imho). My ex was a redhead, and she looked stunning in the PB!

I actually love Phantom Blue and Montego Blue Mica. Really there are no RX-8 or FD colors I hate, I just don't prefer Lightening Yellow, Competition Yellow Mica, and Nordic Green.
