I bet they would fit and with the correct offset I bet you can get 285s on a 11 with zero roll or problems.

Definitely no Hype Beast pricing here, haha. Glad someone here noticed the wheels weren't standard, though you no longer own an rx8 haha!

So I just got my car to the height I want it to sit at pretty much. Wheels are 18x9.5 +15 with 235/40s all around. Im still rubbing somewhere and im not for sure where it is.

Fenders are rolled all around and the tires are about one finger from them in the front and a little less than a finger in the rear.

I shaved down the rear tabs pretty far so I dont think thats where its hitting so I believe that pretty much exlcudes the rear.

As far as the front goes the top parts and some of the side parts of the fender liners are gone. The sidemarker area is all gone basically except for the top part where the screw is, I think this is probably where the rubbing is but im not sure, Ill work with it more tomorrow, but do any of you guys have suggestions of an area im overlooking?

Ill put up pics tomorrow also.

EDIT: When I say one finger, I mean thats all I can squeeze between the tire and fender not that the fender is that far above the tire.

look at the tires, see what part is being cut. wouldnt be surprised if it is still the rear tab area depending on your height & camber specs

Also, here's just a quick picture for now for anyone curious. Will look pretty much 1000% times better with aero, so I'll hold off on a shoot until then.

Please quit spamming this thread. You are in the wrong thread to ask for fitment advice. Try the Will It Fit thread at the top of the wheels subforum.

stupid, i know...
I drive up on 2 bricks placed side by side, they're just big enough to fit directly behind the tire and only after that can I get a jack under the car, which is a tiny craftsman, which lifts the car just enough to finally after all that, get a real jack underneath it. If I evern need a tow truck I'm going to be sooooooooooooooo f-ed.....oops.
