rears are pushed out/pulled

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.

yes he did. The car was astounding. Never seen a rear mount turbo on an rx8 before.

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

Uhh ? Those are 18x10 +11 so 5mm less then a 9.5 +0 .. and they fitted no problem, only a roll, not even a slight pull


I agree rears will need more love, but then again, I'm fitting 18x12 +6 so

Try that with normal tires and get back to me on how well they fit

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