Cool - looks good. For some reason I didn't think it was stock, but then again I'm kinda dumb.

Pretty flush with the car. My front rims have a 6.5 mm spacer (from my previous rims) as it rubs the caliper a little bit (you should probably get a 2 mm spacer or go with 35 mm offset. Mine were 38 mm for the 8.5" front & 35 mmoffset for 9.5" rears. 19" wheels.

Hope these help. I'm not a photographer.

Thanks RX8Power for letting me know about them. Ask for Edgar. I also saw them on EBay, but be very careful as the offsets are way off. A 20 mm offset will not look good on this car (push it out about another 1 inch), even though the Ebay seller says it will fit on an RX8.

mikeb 02-25-2005 07:39 PM

thats nice
love the deep dish

stownz 02-25-2005 10:46 PM

Fanman, sweet ride. I have the 18X8.5 up front with the 38mm offset. That won't rub with the calipers will it?

EZZY 02-25-2005 11:08 PM

Yes, it will (just barely). In talking with Edgar over at Need4Speed (I went back to get lugs as the stock lugs will not work) he told me that he forgot but that I needed a spacer for the fronts. Sure enough when I went to put these on, I was thinking my back rims were a bit wide. I totally forgot that I had put spacers on for my OEM wheels to make it look better, and did not remove them when I put on the Sterns. I had the tire place take them off, but when they did the front tires and rotated it around it scratched about 1mm or 2mm of the caliper. So we put the spacers back on for the front, and took the back ones off. I have the 38 mm offset on the fronts.

Fanman 02-26-2005 03:16 AM

Yes, my car is lowered about a 1/2." I have the Racing Beat springs. In talking with Need4speed they had said that if I had lowered the car I should only get the 235 & 265 tires to prevent rubbing, but I think since the RB springs doesn't lower the car much (compared to Tein or MS) I could have gone with 245 & 275 and still not gotten any rubbing.

rXter 02-26-2005 04:24 AM

Nice. I got my chromies on the way!

truemagellen 02-26-2005 04:23 PM

Not the ones I have, but they have different styles in their line that come in different finishes.

And thanks.
