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

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

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.

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..

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

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

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

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???

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

Thanks!

The criminally insane

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.

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.




/offtopic Sorry
