Really nice kit. They run 17's by 10 I believe on their RX8. Eric, you looking for flares for the rear, front, both? Just curious.

You may want to look at these too.

I have heard the fit is poor for a street car and needs work to look right.

If you decide to go for panspeed, try to find out more info about the latest model rear fender flares which they currently have on their track car. They are wider than the current ones which they are selling in the market, but not sure if they are released yet. I have been trying to dig up some info about it, but no luck yet.

yes Silver is right this is an ongoin investigation with a couple theories to boot,,,
We are all interested in what appears to be extremely wide fenders that are currently on Panspeeds track monster, and yes as far as we can tell they are much wider than the ones they sell...
Current and recent shots, as you can see the rear has much more flare to it,,,

No Im getting swampped down with multiple projects, next big one which many people are interested in is the bumper design, after that is a diffuser that works with the OE bumper,,,
I went to my first track day this weekend and am obsessed now with performance driven mods, incredible,,,, anyone who hasnt done one you have no idea what your car was made for, get out there now,,,,
Fender flares are on the list though, about 3rd or 4th,,,

I think you can buy it in ebay. But my friends have that kind of fender flares. I think I can refer them to you. :D

Well I'm bumping this thread because I'm looking for some flares for an eventual same reason. What I am not looking for is some mad ricer wannabe aero/widebody kit that requires bumper covers and side skirts. I just want some simple flares that will provide coverage over the top of the tire for racing. They are pretty common for the Miata/MX5, haven't seen any for the RX8 yet

Based on all the replies Eric got above I don't expect much more than maybe making and offering them myself

otherwise if all I wanted to do was cover the same old ground already posted above I wouldn't need to bump the thread, this is for new ideas/sources thank you
I'll bounce an email to Eric and see what he may have done, as well as ask one of the Miata flare fabricators to see how well the NC flares may mate up on an RX8. It might be some simple trimming or not.

The other half of the equation can be solved with BN fenders. 1 inch larger per side. The ugly upper vents also help relieve some of the high pressure that forms there... says my cheap barometer.
Any flare will be relatively easy to adapt, the NC miata has a fairly similar shape too as you already noticed.
