TBK - Looks sick man, I love the wheel/color choice!

Throw on some 255/35 and drop it a bit lower :P

 

18x9.5+30 245 40 18 no rubbing 1.2 drop

 

Lmao, I don't know how he's not rubbing. Sure looks like the tire hits the fender... Looks sick man!

 

Post that in the Will It Fit thread to hopefully answer future questions

 

I want to say that he probably is on the rear bumper portion (plastic bumper part) under compression, and maybe the front bumper connector/corner area but hey, that's a part of the process - straightening out kinks. Nice wheels to compliment the car, just wish it was a bit lower/no gap. Still looks great though

I could be wrong too, but I have looked at quite a few different rx8 fitments and can usually tell where/when/if there are issues. Only tbk will know

rx8speciale - looks good, somewhat aggressive + very performance oriented. Can't go wrong that route

 

Drop complete, I scrape on one of the two speedbumps to my house; so I need to work that out, otherwise so far so good.

 

^looking good.


love all that mazda sitting around your house

 

The gray MS6 was in the garage getting the fluids changed....so one is missing in the pic, lol.

Long weekend of car annuals.

 

 

proper angling technique young padawan.

 

We shall see, this isn't my first rodeo. But the bump is gnarly, I might go take a grinder to it.

 

i should be able to fit +25mm spacer and 245 45 18 on stock wheels and 1inch to 1 1/2 inch and the rear and should i do +25mm spacer in the front with 225 45 18 also stock wheels... all with no rubbin

thanks for the help

 

Lololol 245/40 all around rookie. Wrong thread

 

Do it, speedbumps are pointless...

 

Agreed.

Wow i REALLY like those rims ^^

 

They look too much like stock rims for me. But they do look good. You got those for an amazing price dude Good job

 

got it right on the money! lol but yesterday i was able to get a grinder and got rid most of the rubbing up front. Only thing that still gives me trouble is that pinch weld behind the wheel, but its nothing a BFH wont solve. The rear still has some rubbing under really hard compression but I bet if I add a bit more camber it will go away.

As for moar low, that will come soon

 

I am thinking I should have went +20 now

 

they look good!!

 

whats the status on your guys front wheel wells to those of you with aggressive fitment and aftermarket front bumpers?

 

Don't you have Sifus cell lol?

 

yea, but i wanted more than 1 guys opinion lol. the bottoms of mine are pretty cut up, dunno how important they are for airflow and whatnot. i know the undertray is a big factor for airflow & cooling

 

I took my fender liners off. But I cut some up and left a portion on to cover up the headlights. Theres nothing left behind or under the oil coolers. Just gotta avoid driving on rocks/debris on the road.
