No it doesn't flap around. The corner will move in and out about 1/4" though

 

Nope! shave shave shave

 

lol your tires aren't too wide.. i was running 265/35 on my 18x10.5+15 all around no rear rubbing issues. you will need a butt load of camber though. CLOSE to -6, but not quite that much. BUT downsizing tire will make your life a lot easier but you don't have to if you don't want to :D cause it'll work

 

I'm almost positive you just repeated what I said.
I was running 275's on -6.2 camber haha

 

It would probably stop rubbing if you go lower.

 

And notice that the day by day rule can't be too long.

 

Well I am on coilovers so that's down and I will be sailing in some negative camber...
Also getting the fenders pulled a bit on Tuesday so well see. If all else fails I'll get some 245/40s

 

WELL I think 6 would be excessive. Around 4 could probably be a bit more reasonable for 18x9.5's +I forgot what offset :p

 

Derek is absolutely correct. If you're on coilovers there is no reason you shouldn't be lower. And Dlum, there was a difference, your 265's were stretched werent they? His are squared so it makes it that much more difficult to fit. It will be over 5 degrees, guaranteed. I ran 275/35/19 on 19x10's last year and had to run -6 in the rear to not rub. That was AFTER rolling, pulling, and shaving too.

 

Well im maxed out on my coilovers looks like im gonna have to save up for another set. Or customize my current ones.

 

powertrix ftw :D

 

I dont think there. Gonna sell anymore? Isnt the group buy over?

 

The stock control arms are adjustable. If those are maxed out too that means you're not low enough. I doubt they are though. I suggest investing in megan racing adjustable rear control arms. Thats what I bought when I realized my tires were too wide.
and what coilovers are you on?

 

You don't need -6 camber for that. I'm only 3mm less aggressive and at -2.5 camber and I need to get some taken out.

 

can someone please direct me on how much camber I should be running.Thanks

 

This is the right amount of camber so NOBODY will ever rub again:

 

..are you lowered?
and what tire size are you running?

 

Does anybody know what structural integrity the metal flange behind the fender liner has?(right behind the liner where the wheel is rubbing in the pictures.)

I'm running 245 45 18s on a +25 offset rim and I'm shredding my tire, Stock suspension for 30 more days then it's getting some coilovers.

Stopped driving it until I find a solution, perhaps bending it nearly flat or taking a grinder to it?



Not my tires/wheels or RX8 in these pictures, just the same issue I am having.

lies lol. la roads are not bad at all, sf roads are of its the damn elevations that kill you every intersection is like a fucked driveway.

by far i consider fontana ca to have some of the worst roads in cali. it is the semi truck capital of the nation so the streets have a shitload of random sink holes.

 

0 wheel gap with 265/35 on 18x9.5+28

 

Idk ill take a look at them. Im running megan racing coilovers

 

this. I could lay frame if I wanted to lol

 

well there's your problem. haha

 

Lol. The gap between the tire and fender is about half inch. Im gonna lower the front a little more. Then run spacers and have a alignment done. And that should keep me happy. Then front bumper and side skirts hopefully that should give it a lower effect. Then new wheels and hopefully powertrix make more coilovers to sell in the rx8 market.

 

Sweet! Just called megan racing for upgraded springs 10kg front 8kg the rear for $115 a pair
