im looking at buying these adr m-sport wheels but the website above states they wont fit the rx8??

btw i was planing on doin

front- 18x8.5 offset-35 5x114.3
rear- 18x9.5 offset-35 5x114.3

i was under the impression from reading on the forum these would be fine? what am i missing here?

 

They should fit fine, the rears might need to have the fenders rolled depending on the tire size you choose. Fender rolling isn't a big deal though. Any competent shop can do it or you can rent the tool and do it yourself.

 

You must roll the rear fenders, i rolled mine and ran this fitment no probs.

If you want ADR just hit me up, they are very close to my place.

Bigwheels is also, but ehhh they don't specialize in RX8's.

You will need to roll your rear fender but it will work.

You can run 245/40/18 and 275/35/18

Rishie

 

Don't worry about rolling your fenders they will fit, I am running the Stern ST8 Hypermesh II which is almost the exact same rim as the ADR M Sport. I'm a dealer for Stern/ADR/RSL Rims, and you will have no problems with it. I'm running a 275 35 18 Nitto Invo's on the rear and 245 40 18 on Nitto Invo's on the fronts. And my wheels have a 35mm offset. You'll be just fine

 

wow...i thought 275s will be in need of a roll when your dropped.

255-265 you will not need any rolling with a drop.

 

How much do those ADR M Sport rims weigh?

 

i think 26lbs for the 8.5's and something like 29lbs for the rear but im not tracking/drag racing the car so i dont really care about the weight

 

Are you dropped?

 

yea im dropped on tanabe springs so maybe 1 1/4" over stock height

 

oops sorry wrong person u were talkin too... but yea the m-sports are only available with a 35mm offset and beeing lowered that much im worried about clearance issues

 

It's all good, because I'm dropped with Tanabe too, and later this year I plan on getting some wheels with the same setup you are looking at...
So if it works for you, hopefully it'll work for me.
