9.5 and 10.5 +0 offset on an rx8? I'd like to see it.
My guess is super mexi-flush or -8 degrees of camber.
both dumb either way.

I'm not hating. I am no noob to fitment and stance. And I definately know my way around the fenders of an rx8.
I would love for you to prove me wrong.
But I'm 95% sure its just going to look silly unless you have overfenders.

I think Bumblebeerx8 won best Mazda at that show. I don't recall which show he was at exactly but it was in Chicago.

Yep, he cuts no corners and does all the work himself. His rims are on another level.

You should invest in new oil coolers and some tinted or clear side markers.
