Titan7 T-S5 - Best Specs for Track

Looking to get the Titan7 T-S5, dont see any 8 owners running these. I'm not sure which specs/dimensions work best with 8. Can anyone help look and advise? Looking to use a 255/40 tire but not sure which wheels will work withotu spacers, etc.

Thanks,

the best is the STi/WRX fitment which 18x9.5 +40 probably up size to a 265/35. these wheels aren't really made for the RX8s but that's your best bet without running spacers or doing extra stuff to get the wheels to fit.

this will otherwise provide you with the answer to whichever configuration you’re looking at:

If I'm not too late, these look excellent imo. Extend your studs and get some spacers.

just order the 17x10 +45 wheels they offer instead, no spacers or studs needed, approx 1.5 lb each lighter too

https://vaikhariusa.com/collections/...x10-45-5x114-3

I know for sure 18x10 +50 will clear everything, but the smaller barrel ID on the 17” wheel may possibly contact the control arm at full lock, is why it may need to be spaced out some. It could just depend on the exact wheel being used.

but you can also use 3mm (1/8”) spacers with the OE studs and still have sufficient thread engagement

Hi, I also looking to get the Titan7 T-S5 and I am so happy I found your post where I found a lot of useful information. I also found a website through which I can make nail salons business plan and I am glad I found those plans.

Since they’re specifically listed for an S2000 application, the one thing that needs verification is the hub-center ID dimension. If they come machined for an ID less than the Mazda 67.1mm standard hub-center dimension then they won’t mount up without machining it out.
