hmm... so are you running a +36 rear offset? rubbing at stock height or no?

Im_DANomite 07-13-2006 05:49 PM

all the sizes should be on the inner portion of the wheels...unless the stickers were removed. there is no way you can run a 10.5 +36 offset. you have 9.5 in the back

CASANOVA 07-13-2006 09:46 PM

I was told it was a +51 offset. the rear stickers are gone. and oh yes they rub. but I rolled the fenders and they only rub when I turn into my driveway a little too fast

CASANOVA 07-13-2006 09:55 PM

I'll find the truth somehow.

NgoRX8 07-13-2006 10:01 PM

umm... go measure the size of the lip. if you are sure its a 10.5 then find out the size of the dish and we can see what offset it is. there is no such thing as +51 offset for sf-challenges.

NgoRX8 07-14-2006 12:46 AM

same as me...

SiLVeRE8 07-14-2006 03:27 AM

you might be running +34 cause i got ce28s with 9.5 rear and +34... mine rubs as well

XDEEDUBBX 07-14-2006 05:58 PM

i doubt thats a 10.5 cause you would need to run some really negative camber to fit it. Only one other guy on the forum ran 10.5's but his camber setup was crazy..

Im_DANomite 07-14-2006 07:35 PM

275 tires on a 10.5 would look seriously stretched. i'm pretty sure you're running the same setup as ngo and i

Since none of you bastards (;)) with the TE37 or LE37 will post your sizes & offsets, can some one at least tell me if 19x8.5 +22 will fit front and back with a fender roll or cut?

I already have the wheels, so your answer will help me decide between buying an RX-8 or an Acura TL as my new daily :naughty:

1 - You can easily find our Stock Rim Size and offset on the board. That should let you know if those rims will fit or not.
2 - Do you even know the stock rim/offset size of the TL?
3 - go buy the TL

ELITE-RX8 07-17-2006 05:35 PM

Sorry, sarcasm doesn't carry over very well on forums! I went back and added a smiley just for you :grouphug:

The stock rim size/offset on the RX-8 is 18x8 +50, the stock rim size on the TL is 17x8 +45. Both have the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. You mean I'm the first guy to ask if a particular rim would fit? Why are the majority of the people in this thread posting their wheel specs along with the pictures then??? :rolleyes:

Thank you kind sir for the assistance!! Nice looking 8 you have there! Did you have to roll the front or rear fenders?

Thanks! :kiss:

The criminally insane :greenchai

It's only a partial factor, i'd prefer not to sell them if possible but if I found something that I just had to have as my daily driver then they would be gone.

All I know is alot of people have picked a car to buy based on much worse.

Im_DANomite 07-17-2006 07:28 PM

Elite is having rubbing issues with the front 19x8.5 +22. if you look at the pictures, the front wheels stick out past the fender. so with the TL, it'll be even worse.

At least I can see what 8.5 +22 looks like on the RX-8 so I know what I'd be up against. I already know i'd have to roll the fenders on the TL. These are 19x8 +30, so i'd need an extra 14mm or about a 1/2 inch more. Those are 245/35 tires though so the stretched 235's on the 8.5's would help some.
