I use 17x8 Enkei RPF1s shod in 245x40 Hoosiers on my newly built RX8 racecar; the sizes are somewhat restricted by the rules though.

Yep, it takes longer to clean the wheels that it does to wash the whole car.

Got my wheels put on today. Lets try to get these specs out of the way so it can easily be searched because I had a hell of a time trying to match specs to pics in wheel threads.

Square setup
Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 38 Offset
Continental ExtremeContact DW 245/40/18

Lowered on Koni Yellow and Eibach Pro Kit. Lowered almost 2 inches total.
BBM2-37-140B TPMS Sensors.

Would look better with some wider tires. I was going to try to stick with 245 since this is mainly a street car. If I were to do it again I would most likely get 18x8.5 30 or 18x9.0 35. But still happy with how it sits maybe wider tires next time around.

Currently mine is not rubbing with 245 tires so we'll see after these wear out and move on to 265.
Edge of the wheel is flush with the with the fender. I rolled the rear fenders but it wasn't necessary, since it looks like it will rub the top edge (near where the bumper meets the fender) of the rear fender liner first.
Camber 1.0 Front 2.0 Rear

Hopefully this post helps someone else out who is frustrated with searching.

You could have asked. I've only posted pics of my old wheel setup (rp03 in those specs) about a million times. I put 10mm spacers + 265/35 tires all around after lowering the car even more. You'll need the fender work with 265s for sure

I more of just ment I wish people put the wheel / tire / suspension spec in their posts. Makes it easier instead of hunting posts after looking for the specs. Took a bit of extra work but could have been a lot easier.

Wish I paid attention to see the link in your sig.

Are there any pics of your rp03 after you put on the 10mm spacers and 265? Fender work isn't a problem I have lots of hammers and and a fender roller. What do people usually do on the back just remove the fender lining can cut the bumper?

I don't take many pictures anymore. Trim the bumper tab. You'll have problems up front at the clear corner tab as well. Fender liners up front will need removed and the ridge behind the fender liner will need to be beaten with a large hammer.
