These shots are quick and dirty but here are some shots of tbk's car from today during a spring install on another members car. Mind you his car was pretty dirty. A proper SARX shoot will be done when my rims finally get here and tbk gets the rest of his body kit on.

wats up fellas. Im commited to getting rims for my 2004 VR for the first time in the 2 years i have owned it. I was thinking bout going 18x10 with a 24 offset and the tires 255/35/18. My car is still stock. Was wondering wat suggestions you guys had and what you thought about these numbers ? your experienceis taken highly into consideration soyour opinions matter.

tbk - those tires are wide and thick. Looks kinda huge for an RX8.

I'll give you props on the color of the car because blue is my favorite color

Have you seen a single stock suspension car in this entire thread? NO. There is a reason

1st suggestion is to get coilovers, then wheels. Get some coils, then come back and ask for wheel sizing help

Papo- I suggest you invest in some coilovers to make that type of fitment work out

I prefer black rims with blue car. It's a good combination.

I prefer black rims with white car. Another better combination.

It's like 2 for 1

ok. Im glad i asked . Its exactly what i wanted, honest opinions. i would surely be ready to invest in coilovers if that what i need to do to get this fitment. Suggestions on the coilovers fellas ? No plans on tracking the car or anything like that. Its my daily driver and i just want the car looking a little aggressive.

Coilovers won't magically make it work either. It will require some fender work. Go with Stance or maybe that new custom setup in the vendor section. Cheap coilovers aren't usually the best way to go.
