17X10 +25 offset

what tire size would be the best? i like an aggresive look.

Please

Depends on HOW aggressive you want... I'm sure if you found a competent shop they could fit a 225 on a 10"

^A few people have that setup on this site. The 5Zigen FN01R-C's. They are on 245's, and one is on 255's. You will run into rubbing problems unless you have a pull.

thanks, topgear and rickA. want to run something agressive, those sound good.
like a 245 40 17

get 255/40, I'm on that setup with 245/45, 245 is not enough tire, if you aggressively drive the car frequently.

And I have 9.5 (F) and 10.5 (R) with 265s (Proxes R1R) all around and I can still break the car loose if I want...

There you go. You didn't really ask much of a question before.

A.A.

So I will have a 18x9 +30 all around dropped on s-techs.
Can I fit a 245/40 or will I have to go with a 245/35 without a roll?

Thanks

Just get your fenders rolled and have 245/40. Trust me

A.A.

Thanks, are you saying I should go with the 40 just for ride comfort?

i assume ride comfort, and its also almost identical to the stock tire diameter

and less wheel gap and I don't like the idea of that low a profile

A.A.

Gotcha thanks, I would only have to roll the front right?
but if I roll the fenders I might as well just go to a 255 right?

imput1234

Yeah, you can get a 255. If your gonna roll your fonts, roll your rears at the same time.

Wheel Diameter (F/R): 18's
Wheel Width (F/R): 9.5
Wheel Offset (F/R): +40mm

Suspensions Changes: Koni yellow's with Tein S-Tech's

Tires: 255 on all four corners.

Question: will it fit? I really need to know if this will fit without any major suspension modifications. In other words I want to avoid premature tire wear due to heavy camber settings. Set it and forget it.

with 255/40's you should have no problems with that setup

i don't think you even need to worry about rolling the fenders either

TopGear8

^Yes they will fit fine with no rubbing.

What profile do you plan to run with the 255's? Depending on tire and profile you could rub on the wheel liner up front. Also depends how much your spring/shock combo lowers your car.

nice taste in wheels

cavemancan

Thanks for the replies guys!

Atilla...yes...Wheels = HAWT'ness!

I need to make some corrections cause I wrote down the wrong offset. It seems the Ings wheels on that Rx8 are running a +34mm setup. So this is the correct setup plus the information on my drop...

Wheel Diameter (F/R): 18's
Wheel Width (F/R): 9.5
Wheel Offset (F/R): +34mm

Suspensions Changes: Koni yellow's with Tein S-Tech's
Drop: Front - 1.4 inches, Rear - 0.7 inches

Tires: 255 on all four corners...perhaps a 35 sidewall.

i have 18 x 8 O.Z.'s. What size tires would look nice on these? I kinda like the beefy look.. so i was thinking 255/35 or up to 275/35. how would that look?

J8635621

iTrader: (10)

245 or at the absolute very most 255 beyond that is just......stupid

imput1234

iTrader: (6)

It'll look retarded
if u want a "beefy" look get a bigger sidewall like 235/45

TopGear8

iTrader: (3)

^Yeah unless your putting R Comps on there...Which your not...Don't go above 245's on a 8" wide wheel.

imput1234

Still looks dumb lol, I remember seeing 275 Hoosiers on an 8" wheel in a mustang, looked stupid as ****. lol
