Quick questions for wheel experts!

Will Speed Star Wheels D5R front 19x8.5 et 30 and rear 19x10 et 37 fit our RX8!

I am trying to get a deal from this guy for less than $1,700 for both wheels and tires(Nitto)! Does it seem like a good deal?

Anyways I was thinking about Volk TE37 but unfortunantely, it seems like its too steep on my pocket.

Let me know what your input guys!

You can fit 20 X 10's in the back but you might need to roll the fenders. Keep in mind that every wheel CO. has there own off set size but keeping to the book the stock 18 in wheel has a off set of I think 50mm. IE: Then wheels I'm getting are TSW's 19 X 8.5 and 19 X 9.5 with a 35mm off set.

Cool

Oh yeah remember the smaller your off set the larger the lip of the wheel. IE: 50mm on 18in OEM wheels = 8 wide, 19in with a 35mm or 40mm = 9.5 remember its all about the brand of rims.
Hope that helps.

your front should work. maybe slight rubbing on the inner wall with the wheel all the way turned, but thats not a big of a problem.

your rear... fenders must be rolled or shaved definitely. its really close to the mark too. you might still rub with fenders rolled unless u give a bit more camber.

Thank you guys for your feedback. I was just making sure I know what I am doing with your help. I have the car lowered with Tein S-techs, it sure looks good with a mild drop. When I put the rims is mainly my only concerns that I have. Again thanks. I will probably be getting the wheels within 2 weeks and installed. I'll post picks then!

With those offsets your front will be 24mm closer to the fender and 14mm further from the inside wall and the rears will be 38mm closer to the fender and 12mm closer the the inside wall.

The correct fitment for the D5R would be the the 19X10 with a 45mm offset. The 37mm would push the wheel 8mm closer to the fender and i am pretty sure they would rub pending the tire size.
