FR500 on RX8

I figured you guys would enjoy this, a While back i ran into a thread labeled something like "wrong wheels on wrong cars" and it pictures things like VW's with corvette wheels and etc. i figured this would be cool to do, one it would be different and crazy, second im sure it would **** some people off. long story short, one night i was surfing th enet and came across a FR500 replica rim for 9.99 on ebay, went for it and got for 19.50. that is what started the Fr500 wheel fitment experiment. i have the first steps of it posted on a blog

here's some pics

Don't use armour all.
At least use "back to black" or something decent!

Doesn't look too bad...what are the specs on those again? edit: i looked at your thread. Did you do the fronts all around or are those 10+22 in the back?

currently its only the backs and the specs are 18x10 +22. i haven't purchased the fronts since this is kind of a side project. i'm running a 265 40 18 and it def rubs but looks just so sick lol.

265/40/18 won't fit in the front. 265/35 is what you should have all around anyways.
