+1 but unless you plan on being slammed/adding spacers the 255/40 is my opinion, unless you like the thinner tire look. It will keep your car a little bit higher off the ground (same as stock), not mess up the speedo reading, and protect the rims a little better from potholes.

 

Atilla, was that other user Sam? edit- crap, I don't remember if iot was Sam or not, lol...

C'monn, we all know the AME's!!! They were your dream!

 

dude its totally the 18x10 +25 fs-01's

 

^stfu

 

not sayin' guys

but i just got a price check - i may be getting these sooner than i expected!

 

^get them now!

 

Hey guys lets leave the chit chat for the Lounge

And get this thread back on topic..

So...

Will an 18x8 +40 fit on my car?

 

Only if you run about 15 degrees of camber and pull the fenders. You should probably ask questions like that in the Aggressive fitment thread. They could help you out a little better.

 

Don't know much about this topic, though I did try doing some research.

Tires: 245/45-17
17x8 +48

How would it compare to 17x7.5 +45

 

It will fit with inches to spare. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp That site will tell you how much farther out your wheel will sit/how the clearance between the shock and wheel changes.

 

What about a 17x8 +75?

 

Ok, so if I do the 17"x9"F/17"x10"R w/ a 225's up front and 245's out back, what would be a good offset to run considering I want it flush? (actually i'd like a bit of poke + some very aggressive camber). Also, I because I plan on running a bit of stretch, should I stick with a 45 profile tire, or maybe even go down to a 40 profile tire?

 

Thanks. In your opinion you think the 245 will rub?

 

You could do a +20 up front and a +20 out back.

 

not even close

 

I think I made a mistake. Is 245/45-17 usually only for the rear tires staggered w/ 225/50-17 in front? If so, I'd probably just stick with 225/50-17 all around.

In the case of 225/50-17 these should both work?
17x8 + 48
or
17x7.5 +45

For some reason the Enkei I was looking at is 17x7 +38 or +45. The +45 seems like a poor fit (wheel retracts according to the calculations) but +38 should work?

So many questions, sorry

 

yes

i have 18x8.5 +35 245/40's and no rubbing while lowered at full load.

you'll be fine

 

I am a newbie here.

I bought a used (reconditioned from japan) 2003 AT RX-8. It came with 225/55R16 94V stock (i believe) wheels/rims.

How far can I go with the rims and wheels without touching anything? (ie. just to take off the old once and put the new once on)

 

ugh, just outta curiousity - did you bother reading through any of this thread prior to posting??

 

^ ha ha. come on man, another person to impart all of your wisdom on

 

I'm fresh outta patience and wisdom for the moment...

...however i am stocked to the ceiling with spite and sarcasm

 

^ ha ha, well as long as you put on your supportive pom-poms tomorrow i'll be good.

 

Offsets for the 17"x9" are 15, 35, 43

Offsets for the 17"x10" are 12, 25 and 35.

Keep in mind I want a bit of poke (will be rolling/pulling the fenders) and, the tire specs will be 225/45's up front and 245/45's out back.

 

^sounds like you want an aggressive fitment. Check out the 'aggressive fitment' thread.

For what you're asking though

17x9 - i'd go with +15
17x10 - i'd go with +25

reasoning is because of the tires you suggested.

 

Sounds like fn01R-C sizes... what color you goin with?

Edit: Go with a 245/40 in the rear...
