Thanks for the help guys. I will go ahead and pull the trigger on those wheels then.

 

9.5 +20 and you ran -3.8??

I'm running 10 +25 w/265's in the rear n' i'm barely at -3 (no tire tuck)

have you done any fender work?

 

It was on a 1990 Nissan 300zx. Not an RX8. I had rolled the fenders on my last car. I had posted a pic but deleted it since it really doesnt belong in this thread.

 

 

Here ya go-

 

yum burnt plastic...

 

i love that smell...

especially when i accidently drive over a plastic bag while my mid pipe is nice and hot...


...

 

I was running -4.5 in the rear with a 19x10 +20 and 235/35's on it. But I was practically lip to fender.

 

I went ahead and ordered them this morning. They will be here on friday. They may not fit into this thread completely but I would of gotten a 9" wheel but they of course dont offer it in that style. Thanks for all the help guys. Ive been cruising this thread for over 6 months now lookin at pics of everyones awesome 8s and I am astounded by what you guys are able to fit and make it work.

 

Nice RE30s, sick wheels!

 

HellaSunk but not for long planning to run 215/40s all around on mb battles 18x9.5 +15 offset. Can somebody chime in and let me know if i should run 5mm slip on spacers id like some poke but if thats too much to ask for flush will be just fine.

 

niceee what you lowered on ?

 

Bc br racing coilovers. rears maxed out and fronts can go about a inch lower

 

Why would you run tires that are smaller than stock? That will look horrible. You could easily run a wider tire with such a moderate fitment.

 

i like stretched tires plus ill be drifting so i dont want alot of tire itd make it hard to drift if anything 225 up front & 235 in rear will do

 

ugh yea dude I have battles in the same specs.. run 235/35/18. they will fit like a glove.

 

You don't have to tell me about stretch, I'm putting a 225/35/18 onto an 18x11. I'm just sayin a 215/40 will look like ****.

 

alrite right thanks guys for the input

 

You are ******* retarded.

 

^x2.

 

there's no reason to say that yes im a newbie when it comes to the rx8 wheel/tire setup but i drove a nissan 240sx before so the drift scene isnt new to me everybody in my area run 215/40s on a 9 or 10in. yes you can be stanced and drift. Wow i guess this forum isnt welcoming to offer advice. sorry i wont waste my time posting again.

 

I'm new to drifting yet i can hang the rear out no problem on 245's for a good amount of time

 

aparently everyone you drift with is a retard as well. 215/40 on a x10 wheel??? thats just dumb.

 

maybe it is maybe its not . well i shall figure out what tire size to run by test fitting a few. These rx8 fenders have some much room to try different setups.

 

hmmmmm have u ever asked pro drifters why they drift on semi slicks? Its because you still need grip to control the slide

granted your not a pro drifter with 600hp, but 215 is just ******* stupid. I know alot of people who drift competitively with around 300whp and they run no less than a 255
