Slammed rx8 help

Hey guys I want to slam my rx8 any ideas what's the best way to go about it, so it can look clean and not like a crap job. People tell me I should just put the coils to its lowest level others are telling me to tuck the rear wheels. Which type of extenders should I use if I wanted to tuck the wheel and would I have to roll the fenders

Don't listen to this guy^. He has been using that joke for a lot of threads. If you want to "slam" your 8 you really should do some research. It's not as simple as buying coilovers and running an aggressive set of wheels. You will need to do some fender work and the lower you go the more you will need to do. You also need to understand how offset, width, and tire size will affect everything. I suggest glancing through the aggressive wheel fitment thread to see all the different specs people are running. I am running 18x10.5 +22 all around (moderately aggressive) with 245/40 stretched on them. It's a pretty good setup and doesn't take a lot of fender work to make fit. Also consult the will it fit thread or you could pm me with wheel/tire specs to see where you stand. Hope this helps some.

Well looking at some of the specs other members have ran, that isn't that aggressive. I'm still in the process of making them fit the way I want them to, but I will pm you some pics.

Its not aggressive unless tires that fit properly are wrapped around them. He's stretching 245's on that wheel, completely negating any "aggressiveness" they may have had.
