Are these the correct size for the rx8? Looking to purchase spacers in the next couple days, any help would be appreciated. If anybody has any recommendations on some solid spacers, that would be good as well.

I did not have to roll my fenders, but keep in mind that I have coilovers so I adjusted my previous suspension height to accomodate for the spacers.
I get very slight rubbing when i hit some large bumps in the road. But only the hard bumps, doesn't happen on everyday driving. The rubbing doesn't seem to be too bad as I dont feel any wear on my plastic fender wall. I will take a closer look when I swap out to my winters in a month or 2.

I get rubbing when i corner hard or hit large bumps.
One big downside I have encountered (may or may not be from the drop+spacers) is my sway bar end links had too much strain on them are failed. They are making A LOT of noise and I have a new set on order.

Hi to all!!!
I haved read this and other posts but not completly sure. I have a 2006 RX8 with OEM wheels, tires, shocks and springs (just RB sway bars). I don't want any rubbing in any condition and a completly bolt-on application (no stud, fender or wheel modification). Just install and go.
20 or 25mm?? Any pics with the OEM setup (or link me to one)?
I know there are a few pics here but want to be sure it's with OEM setup.
Tks for any help or clearing out doubts.

quick question. I have 25mm spacers on with my oem rim/tires. I need to remove them in the next few days. Is it okay to use an impact gun with an extended socket ?? Or is a breaker bar necessary ??
I just dont want damage anything. I do not have a breaker bar at the moment.
