Fenders will need to be rolled for sure.
How much you pull your fenders in my opinion is how much camber you want to run. What size tires and what springs are you on?

You are going to have to deal with about 25mm of fitment issues...

!8X9.5 +45 fit without anything with 275/35 series tires

18X9.5 +35 need a roll with 275/35 Fit with 255 or smaller tires usually

Anything smaller offset than that you have to deal with that extra in camber,pulling..or running stretched tires....none of which are the best

So basically that leaves you with about 25mm of problems to make them fit

From my definition they don't fit...but there are others that will disagree

The 19in rims tend to give you less options with the tires to make them fit.....

19x10 +10 will take a lot of work and a lot of camber. On 19" wheels, tires will get expensive quick.

Nice stuff! Just a bit lower and it'll be perfect

I'd have to agree; for all intensive purposes, those wheels don't fit. Certainly, you can make them fit but this requires quite a bit of work. Also, on springs, I wouldn't exactly recommend this type of fitment. Typically, to pull off aggressive specs, cars have to be very (too) low to make the aesthetics work.

Will it fit? No.

Can it fit? Technically, yes...

Excellent photos with on par fitment. It's always fun to see some JDM bling on the RX8, Jonathan Ray's photos make it easy to overlook the vinyl wrap/MB's/etc. I think we've seen the car posted here a few times but anyways, to the owner Sean, keep it up man the car looks great! Heh, really makes me want to invest in a flash setup before getting anything more for the 8!

Yea those photos are kickass. So dark it takes some of the details out but he highlights the most important part - wheels.
