RX8pwnage, Your car is setup so proper, keep it up!

Q-Ball, Those wheels are on my list of "Wheels I have to own"! What was the ETA for those? My ideal specs would be something around 18x10.5 +10 18x9.5 0

I don't remember if I have any from these wheels in this thread so why not...

ETA on those (considering its a special order), the rep said 8-12 weeks... but more like 16-18 weeks... i hate the waiting game... but it will be well worth it!! just got reply back this after noon after i had talked to him about fitment.. order was revized to 18X9.5 +14 front and 18X10 +14 rear...



Forgot to say.. biggest or smallest.. however u look at it is +14 for those rims... but they do "custom" order anywhere between +51 to +14

Lol, I was going to say that is pretty ballsy of them to recommend such an aggressive fit!

Oh I saw that HSD thread, they're monotube so likely a quality hardware manufacturer, let's hope the valving is decent quality as well!

What size tires do you plan on running?

Looks good. You planning on running some wide spacers or something (stretched tires)?

I'm thinking about dropping it with TIEN TYPE-S Springs and flush the wheels, keeping the same measurements of the tires when I replace the BF-G's with the FALKEN ZIEX ZE-512, thanks...

Coilovers first because a bodykit on a stock height car is just..........wrong. Doesn't look too bad with the new wheels. Congrats

I will take better pics once I have the car washed and the new tires on but here is a quick mock up. Keep in mind my car is sitting on a slant so the rear gap is twice what it usually is. I will be running 10mm spacers up front. They are 18 x 9+27 in the rear and 18 x 8 +33 in the front.
