offset for super advans ver2

Hey,
i have been advised that i cld get Super Advan ver2 18" x 9.5 with +15 offset would fit/work on my 05 rx8.

Does anyone know if this would cause me any probs? i am currently running 265 wide rubber on back and 235 on front with super advans.

gonna be using tein adjustable coil overs next week.

i don't wanna mod the guards but i want the new advans to be very aggressive.

anyone have a clue about this?? PLEASE

18 x 9.5 +15 will require fender rolling with 235/40's... fender rolling is easy and not expensive to get done at a shop (or shouldn't be), about $40 /fender.

You could get 18 x 9.5 +30 and have your 265's and only have to roll the rears. These will still look really aggressive.

Problem is you can't achieve "very aggressive" status without at least rolling fenders.

hey, thanx4the advice. That makes sense, if it ain't very expensive 2roll guards i'll go with that option. Gracias. btw are there any disadvantages with going 15 offset? I'm really trying 2get as much dish as possible, which is pretty hard with advans.

They are yokohama designed super advans. Not everyones cup of tea obviously BUT hey we could all have the same 5 or 6 spoke rims (how interesting that would be) U probably only eat vanilla icecream hey?

Feel along the rear fenders... you'll feel a bumper tab with screw covered by plastic. You'll need to trim that to avoid rubbing.
