Explain "no modifications", not even a roll??????

A few manufactures make that fitment including SSR, sadly all are custom made and quite expensive, as far as I've been able to research.

Dannobre, one last Q? since you are lower than Nuke(I think) how much clearance do you have in the outer side, from outer most part of your wheel to the edge of fender lip(rolled/not rolled????).

Thanks.

absolutely nothing was needed.

i got lucky and found mine from someone who never installed them because he never bought an RX8. picked them up for $1400 BNIB.

Too much information, I officially dislike you

Look about the same height......looks about the same clearance

I might have a bit more front camber though

Try to remember that those were mine originally You have that much clearance at the static ride height. Now remove the rear springs, jack the suspension into full compression, and then take note of the clearance with compression camber gain factored in. Then add in the wider sidewall dimension of the larger, and if 19" then also taller, tire. However, my racing shocks are shorter than OE and allowed more compression/camber gain so a longer shock may offer a small amount of relief that my setup didn't.

My original thread was deleted. I should still have some pics around in my files, but I'm under the car for the next several days. Will try to find them when I can.

What you doing on the car this weekend?

that's funny. someone on here actually said my wheels were sunk. thanks though, glad you guys like them cause i love them.

It was probably the king of aggressive wheel thread ret@rds.

I'll try to post the pics soon. I should still have the ones that show the wheel fitment at full suspension compression.

That said, I wouldn't go any further inboard. The 10.5 + 43 fits without flattening/rolling the rear fender lip. By rolling the lip the 11" shell should clear by putting the extra width to the outside, this equates to a +36 or +35 offset. Whether the larger tire on this wheel will clear isn't known to me. IMO you're better off on 18" than 19" for clearance.
