This is my first post on this board. I will be getting a new 8 in about a month in sunlight silver with appearance and I plan on doing a wheel and tire combo with suspension right away. I need a few opinions on what to do. I am looking at going with Racing Hart C4 19" multipiece wheels. I will also be installing Tein Flex coilovers at the same time. What would be the biggest possible setup I could run? What rim and tire size front and rear do you guys recommend? I want the car to sit nice and snug with the suspension without any rubbing issues and I don't want the tires to come past the fender. I appreciate all the input that any of you may have. Attached is a quick photoshoped image on what I am going for!!

Thanks,

LOL thats huge

 

looks like it's about to take off into outer space, kinda loud.

 

that photochop is kinda off :/ those are too big where are the tires? those are SUPER SUPER SUPER low profile tires... too low

 

Were' the tires

 

i have no nfo regarding wat u nid dude, but i guess da other guys mizunderstod your computer graphic art wheels, hehehehe cut and paste!!! u got them!!!:D
anyway, u just have to wait for for da nfo u nid!!!

 

Like I said it was a quick Photoshop image that I put together which excluded the tires. I just wanted to get an idea of what the wheels would look like against the car. Any suggestions on fitment sizes in 19" form. Please post!!!

 

that looks absolutely awful.

 

I dont know why no one will help you
but those racing harts will look good

I have 19X8 on all four of my rims
the tire size is 245/35/19

 

I agree, I think they look good, it's just that your scale is off - they look like 22 inch wheels or something. Properly scaled, they will probably look fine.

Just make sure you aren't bolting a set of boat anchors to your car (I think the RH's are pretty light, though)

 

i also agree
i think they will look great

 

i know this is a long shot
but heres what it will basiclaly look like or seem like
with out all the stuff of course.

 

I would install 8x19 with 225/40/19. I think more than this tire will decrease performances. I'm planning to buy Racing Hart CX or CR, i'm doubting


mikeb: I think 245 for a 8" is too much tire, isn't it??? You have more tire than rim....

 

That is a horrible photoshop and they still looking fackin' great !

Do it !

 

go for 19"s. the fotoshop yu did actually looks kinda okay. if yu imagine it normally, it acutally looks prettty good. i think yu should go for it . 19"s are great!

 

I think the Rx8 can handle the Supra fitment just use a smaller tire in the rear. I have seen a 19x85/19x95 with a 265 tire on the rear this is the picture the I was sent to show the wheel and tire fitment.

 

yes..

you can also fit a 20" rim with 275 tire.. but why so much tire/wheel?? this will decrease performances and steering

 

I agree. Just because you "can" do it, doesn't mean that you "should".

 

lol perfromance/steering
you guys make its seem like my car
yes 20' wheels is a horrible car now that i have these wheels.

I agree. Just because you "can" do it, doesn't mean that you "should".

thats a perfect reason to do it,
either way i love the way my car looks and feels no complain's

 

 

I also have 19x8.0 rims on 245/35/19 tires.

This combo gives you the same size as the stock, which means no speedo adjustments are needed.

 

i think some get a misunderstanding on what the rims look like. the rims look like he put them with something like the tire rack option. they will look alot diff. once installed. they like that now because its a rough sketch just for an idea. i think they will look like the porsch rims just on an 8. i say go with the rims they will look very good

 

Kel RX8 what type of wheels are those on your car? Can you post a larger pic?

Thanks,
Pete

 

the wheels on his are maido st5 20x9 front and 20x10 on rear......... sorry kel ive been researching yours to fit some on my future 8 and thought i would help you out ince not posted yet
