You will need to roll the fenders and even that might not be enough. I would go for a +40-50 range for the offset, and if you get the +40 you will run SLIGHTLY under extremely hard cornering. Anything above +40 though and you should be fine.

So do you get any rubbing of sidewalls against fender lip under hard cornering with this setup, or not?

Thx

It rubs a bit when you have 4 people on the back fender. I'm going to a performance shop on Monday to roll the fender with a special tool. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Hey RX8on19s,

I put new aftermarket rims on my RX8, but the sensors kept leaking air, so I couldn't use them. Did you have that problem?
If so, what did you do and is there an adapter available for them tha you know of?
