Just a question...i'm thinking bout going with 17 inch..on my rx8...would that be a smart move...or should I just get it factory?

 

factory.

 

yeah...thats what I thought.

 

If for strictly racing 17" rims will help with weight a bit & with gearing. But for Daily driver / street use ... bad idea. Will add a lot of untrue miles to the car ( over time ) Also the 17" rims wil not be allowed in SCCA stock class.

 

Yeah if your doing track then get 17" if not stockers

 

There's no problem with odometer readings if you use the correct profile tire to bring it back up to the rolling radius. 17" wheels generally fit fine; whether it's a preference you like is a whole different question.

 

yeah...it is my daily driver...like all of us in here...but i don't drag it..but I would like a faster time...so maybe if I want that...i should keep it fac. and just get gears...but they are so expensive.

 

Get 22"s They are extra light and they are the best for the track!







But i would just try to find some lightweight 18" wheels. 17"s are good and all, but they don't look as good on the 8, unless your a track addict.

 

17" gives an ugly gap unless you go with tall tires. just use stock 18"s and get a pair of sticky 245/40 Dunlops for the rear.

 

^My friend has 17"s with Tein S-Techs and his car is very low. but with the springs and 17" wheels he is bottoms out alot.
