He thinks I could probably go 265 and not rub.. |
:lol: Yeah I wanted him to at least have some satisfaction on the wheels since I have gotten to open all of his other mods :lol:

I was going to go with a +38 but Forgestar really pushed the +42 saying it's the best for RX-8s... *shrug*

He thinks I could probably go 265 and not rub.. 265's will work and so will 275's but (assuming) since you're NA, you can save the weight and just run 265's and still look very clean. :bigok: btw... GREENBLURR!? correct me if i'm wrong but is this your bf?? Attachment 251660 :lol: if so, tell him i said what's up :lol: |
Ahem

+30 w/out spacers

Yes.. that's his sexy a$$... Modeling is his favorite pastime, as you can tell.
We wanted to come out for SS this year but it didn't work out.. but we'll be there next year! Possibly with the 8! I have H-techs and he already rolled my fenders the other night in preparation.. Not sure if I'd rub or not without rolling, but the wheels were already off so we took advantage of the opportunity. |

With the right suspension you could have had the same specs and not rub even w/out rolling the fenders - i just choose to aire on the side of caution. 265's will work out fine - i have 18x10 +40's w/265/35's all around n' they fit beautifuly. p.s. - come out to SS next year :bigok: |
No these are Hoss-05's, I am just holding onto them for him for a couple of months. But I only opened one box and there were no center caps. I didn't want to open every box, but I guess I better just to make sure they are there. |
I have 265/35 in my 18x10 et 38 + all around and they fit fine. A fender roll will be needed in the rear or it will rub when the suspension is under hard load.

Guys I made the mistake of buying rubber before I found these wheels my tires being 245/40/18..........I love the concavity look so I was wondering what width rim should I go to and at what offset to give me a simular look with out throwing much of the handling off. I am lowered on Tein S spring. Any input before I place an order would be great help. Thanks
|
Concavity = 10" wide. 245 won't explode or handle terribly if put on there. Look at the reverend for an example.

I'm still waiting for my wheels to come in.... I was told last week that they were in transit. :icon_no2:
|
If I knew they were gonna take that long I probably could have just done the tire package for ya. lol.

Thanks J8 for your reply..............I thought the max you could go with a 245 is 9.5.........so your saying I should not be concerned going to a 10" with 245 I beleive his offset is 42 or should I stay with 45?, thanks for your patience, pretty retarded bout all of this. Thanks again
|
Wheel is +30 and after spacers it is +15 I believe. 9.5 is the widest that the tire manufacturers will tell you is ok for a 245/40, but people put them on much wider wheels all the time.

Ummm... just wanted to mention something about the correct tire size after I read this, before someone else makes the mistake I did:
Originally Posted by WinningRX8Chick Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 255/35/18 (preeeetty sure on the size...) 255/35/18 will throw off your speedometer and will lower your undercarriage by 12mm.... I learned that the hard way... The correct offsets for 255s are 40s, not 35. You need to calculate the diameter of the wheel + tire in the following way: 255*(offset/100)*2 + the wheel dia. Our stock wheels are 225/45, which makes them have a 225*0.45 = 102 mm of rubber on top of the wheel. With 255/35 you end up with 255*0.35 = 89.25 mm of rubber, which is very noticeable and if you are lowered already will cause you to scrape terribly. P.S. the tires are good btw |
Before someone reads THAT and makes a mistake. 255/35 is a good option when it's a low offset wheel setup because stock tire height will rub the front fender liners and/or the metal underneath. 255/40 is roughly equal to stock tire height though.
|
Oh and offset does not mean what you are saying. Your offset is really profile height or whatever.
|
What color would fit VR best? silver or gunmetal?? anyone with pics? Really thinking about something for the car this coming year with the income tax lol.
