No problem. For some reason I thought you were going with 19". Anyway the reason I went with 255/35/19 is because the OD is the closest you can get to the 18" OE wheel and tire combo. Good luck with your search

Thanks I would go with 19's but the roads over here are a state and bigger rims would just destroy the ride.

I mean...I understand the issues with a staggered setup, but honestly, after my alignment after I was lowered, I don't have any steering or cornering issues. Feels just as nimble, with just a slight fight/grip in the back.

245 Front 265 Back. 8.5 Semi-Concave +38 Front / 9.5 Deep Concave +38 Rear

I would get 9.5 all around as well, but the did not have ANY sets when I ordered mine. Like...none.

Are you honestly stuck between some 99bs and Kais?

Get the Kais, thats a no brainer in every way. Try to avoid a staggered setup as mentioned earlier and even if you want some good rubber on it try to avoid anything north of +35 if you want an agressive look/stance. We have wide fender flares, the lower the offset the better off your car will look.

i've got cr kai's 18x9.5 +38 all around with falken azenis 255/40/18. 265/35/18 will fit too, but the 265 azenis is much more expensive and the 255s are almost the exact same height as stock. no odometer change.

with slight camber adj. there's no rubbing at all. a lower offset and you'll need to roll the fenders

the deep concave front and rear looks perfect and the curves/edges on the spokes match the look of the car

Is 255/35/18 ok for these or is it best to go with the 255/40/18 I only ask cos its a difference of £40 ($65) between the 35,s and 40.s where I get my tyres which adds up when theres 4 but its not worth bein tight if there no good.

You need to search the board and internet before jacking someones thread. Anyway here you go. If you have questions on fitment or tires then read the sticky threads and search the board before jacking a thread or starting a new one.

^i knew all that before I started to post in this thread. i searched the board but didn't see much. and i already saw that black rx8 with the chrome work vs-kf wheels. i was hoping someone has pics of the wheels in different color and at different angles. my post counts are just a few, but that doesn't mean i don't know ****.
