Angelo what size are those 18x9.5 +25 with 225/40s?

Dlum after seeing those pics it kinda makes me want to go with a lower offset but I think im gonna just use some 5mm spacers thats a lot easier than making too low of an offset work. I know its possible I just dont want to pull the fenders really.

And sorry guys I know these arent aggressive but im just showing rotary rx8 the height. I estimate its between 2.5 and 3 inches lower.

yeah you can still run 225... you will have less of a chance of rubbing.. if there +15 there gonna poke a good amount.... so a 225/40 would work if you were to slam your car..

you may have to roll your fenders more and shave down the tab where the rear bumper meets the fender..

Nice upgrade from the white Series 1. Did we ever get the specs on these wheels? Maybe could use a bit more of a drop but clean nonetheless

I dig the color! Looks really good.

9.75 WTH I guess I am behind the times as I have never seen anyone actually run anything other then half or whole numbers.
