Check out my thread, got more updates: https://www.rx8club.com/wheels-tires...thread-244340/

Fronts on. Rears... rears need some work lol



The jack is holding the car up a little in this picture, its not lowered all the way since the fender sits on the tire lol

 

That's gonna end badly.

 

in what aspect?

 

Both in looks (subjective I know) and function. The pull will look nasty and I just don't see it being functional without bags. And by functional I mean without doing regular damage to the car.

But we shall see

 

Can't wait to see the final result... cross our fingers

 

Will 18x8 +20 - 225/45/18 fit on stock suspension?

 

Is this the "will it fit" thread? No. And yes those wheels will FIT on stock suspension.

 

Front look horrible, too much rim...

Rears are Golfcart status.

GG dude.

 

Still needs lowered for the tuck i want

 

These last few pages need some help.

 

i can help too :D

 

Fronts pretty much done. No rubbing issues aside from the pinchwelds on the inside tire at turns. Going back on the alignment rack tomorrow to toy around with camber and height just a little before I hammer out the issue (seewhatIdidthere). lol
Should be starting on the rears tomorrow to... oh boy

 

 

danny let me know what you did with your pinch welds. i grinded mine down pretty damn far and it still rubs. might be because i have 19s.

 

looking forward to the outcome. And pleease do something in the way of protection for those oil coolers.

 

You should be okay as long as you don't turn the wheels at all.

 

I really don't understand the logic behind the stretched tire look

 

That's because looks>logic.

 

Im with this guy

 

samesies

 

not my cup of tea but super excited to see what the finish product looks like. I endorse any original thought!

on a side not any one ever have any creaking noise in their suspension? only at really slow speed and only in the front end. I only put the new wheels on and since then its been creaking. sound like the springs are not siting right but i didnt touch the springs.

 

Hammer. And its definitely because you have 19's

what?

"no rubbing" its completely clear of the fender. I even raised it a tad today so it sits just a wee bit higher than in that picture.

this is the aggressive wheel fitment thread. The stretched tire isn't for "looks", its to give extra room under the fender, too much tire: not enough clearance. If you don't understand this aspect you shouldn't be in this thread. Not trying to be a dick but it just bothers me when people are ignorant.

thank you very much

 

Im well aware of what it is and why people do it, I just can't understand the logic behind taking a sports car and making it into a sports car, im in no way trying to hate on any of it, its all great work and dedication just seems counter intuitive.

 

I also am in no way knocking the dedication and skill you have displayed to pull this off, its just not my taste. In my opinion it doesnt look good and won't perform well, so I dont see the point. But if you like it, then who cares?

 

I adore Danny's initiative on this one. Why bother commenting negative stuffs when he's not even done with his project? Let him finish it first and we'll see how it goes...

Go for it Danny!!!
