Can you do the 265/35/18 without spacer on a bone stock vehicle? I don't want to pay $50 to put on the tires and find out they rub. Thanks (I know the autoxer love spacers)

Unless you are putting down 300whp... you don't need it and will be worse in terms of performance. Go with 245's :O
You'll be much happier. Anyway, max for the rx8 rim is 255, you can't go past that unless you get a welding shop to extend the rim.

Tire size does not matter.... The car/ABS just thinks you are going faster than you really are.

Can you put a 265 on the stock wheel? yes
Would I do it on my car? no
You would be better off running 245's on the stock wheel (assuming you are talking about street tires.)

I have 4 265/35/18 left over from my Corvette, I will use them on my race wheels. 245/40/18 on my street rims/tires.
I kind of need something to drive as I popped one of my OEM tire and I am not allow to buy new tires until I sell all the Corvette stuff and snow tires!
Yes you can fit 265 on an 8" wheels. I am only doing that as a test since I already have those tires available.

Not only will they be a better fit for the wheel but they will be lighter and a 245 r-comp should have more grip then a 265 street tire.
