Tough Choice. Please Help.
2 Attachment(s)
Okay RX8 family I need some help/advice. I have a local Wheel shop and I have narrowed my choice down to two wheel types except the JIC magic are "staggard." I dont really understand what the 8.5 in the 18x8.5 means and is there a big difference between 8.5 and 9.5? the Ruff Racing rims are a 7.5.
So what do you guys think is the best for my Titanium Gray 8!? JIC Magic J-Force 05 Aluminite Black staggard 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 RUFF RACING R375 rims 18 X 7.5 |
JIC ftw..
|
Neither...7.5 in is narrower than stock (stock is 8 in wide) and staggering is pointless on such a well balanced platform such as the 8...
...but if I had to choose between the two, I would go with the JIC's. |
HockeyRX-8 will the 8.5 and the 9.5 hurt the way it handles?
|
yes, running a non staggered setup will keep its stock handling characteristics and also be cheaper on your wallet when you need to rotate tires
|
I found some rota p45r that are 18x9.5 That I like. so as long as all four are 9.5 I should be good to go or am i missing something else?
|
do you know the offset of the wheel? stock offset is +48 i believe. too low of an offset could result in your tires rubbing your fenders or wheel wells. your suspension setup plays a factor as well. look in the "will it fit" thread for questions on if your wheel will fit the car. chances are somebody has already asked your question.
|
it says 30mm. so i'm guessing that's too low? crap, this a lot harder then I thought it would be.
|
Does your local wheel shop actually have the JIC's in stock? As far as I know they are discontinued.
OH but look at this.... ;) https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/feeler-jic-j-force-05-18x8-5-30-wheels-221903/ |
