Yes, that fitment is so easy and so streetable. Let him do his thing and then post up pics and see how it turns out.

9k, if fitment isn't your forte, then quit replying to peoples' posts.

That 19x10.5 +27 is a really simple fit. That's less aggressive than my last set of wheels where the rears were 19x10 +20. As long as you dont run a stupid meaty tire you wont have a single issue. Just shave the tabs.

Thanks a ton Danny, Guess we will see what happens. I can't wait for them to get here.. im gonna have some "Real" wheels lol.. Going to pick rubber when they get here and I'm able to test fit them. Side note, I trust your judgement (danmn) before anyone else's. Most of the time they have no experience and are just talking out they're neck. Ill def post the result and how difficult it was (hoping not much)

I'm aware that, being this aggressive, any amount of change can cause issues. So I'd rather ask, and get flamed of criticized, than not at least try to ask for help..




where is the dislike button?? ^^^^

When the wheels he wants to run are less aggressive than the setup a previously had, I can say with confidence he wont have trouble fitting it.

Oh but now you get it? Let's see if you don't have one single issue noob. If you think you won't have ANY issue, you are disillusional. You will have some issues to work out.

I'm aware that some adjustments will have to be made, It comes with the territory. Hence the title, "Aggressive Fitment". And I would say that danmn does "have it figured out", as he has ventured into said territory. If you like what he has done or not, his fitment speaks for itself. We shall see what happens in about 2 weeks.

A perfect example of why the RX-8 is becoming the new Civic.
