Help with new wheels
Hi All,
Just a quick question regarding wheels and tires, I just bought an RX8 and am loving every minute im in or around it, I have been given the chance to get some new wheels as part of a promotion at my local performance shop, They have offered to give me some Advanti Alpha wheels and tyres for free if I allow them to use it as their show car. They have recommended using a staggered fit of 9.5s on the back and 8.5s on the front, What tires would fit without any rub or steering lock issues? Im looking at 245/30/20 on the back and 225/35/20 on the front? Thanks in advance. :) |
Is there anyway you can get 18s or 19s? 20s don't look good on the 8 imo. You could easily do 9.5 all around. You could run a 245 on a 9.5 rim, but the offset of the wheel will play a big factor in if you rub or not. You will get a better answer if you post in the will it fit thread.
|
Thanks for that, the wheel only comes in a 20" so cant get anything else, It seems like a really good opportunity to pass on, i will try the other thread.
|
just curious how much they want for the 20" wheels and tires,what brand of tire?
|
you should get thiss awesome wheels
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-s...ormula-241097/ this is a real oportunity imo.. not crapy 20s is an sport car man, not a 300 or charger |
The wheels retail around $3K,
Im getting it all for free provided i fulfil the criteria for their new show car/personality, will be falken tires, it would only be for shows, gonna keep the standard set for spirited driving |

Here's what its supposed too look like when its done (photoshop),
Will post pictures of the actual results when they are on, I hope it looks just like this though! |
Your shop is going to have one ugly "show car" when it's done. If that is the final results...
|
Those tires will have a a bit of stretch to them. If you don't want the stretch you can do 245/30-20 and 285/25-20. Already tried it myself. Like these guys said though 20's is pushing it I ran 20's just to try it out and yea it's really pushing it out there.

I am in NZ, they are 3k wheels,
I realise that most people dont like 20s. I like the look, not do disrespect your opinions, even if they are rubbish they are still free, if i dont like them, no harm done |
