Honest Opinions please, good bad or ugly. It is SO hard to find the right combination of wheel for this color of car.

ADR's quality is questionable but the rims look good... i think black 5-spoke would look the best for your color, IMHO

car is lowered 1.5in on the front and .7 on the back

edit: also giving some consideration to staying with 18's, so a suggestion for that would also be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Front Wheel Size: 18x8
Front Wheel Offset: +8
Rear Wheel Size: 18x9
Rear Wheel Offset: +8

Possible? Stock car, completely. Stock ride height and no fender rolling. I have absolutely no idea if this will fit but I'm curious!

Thanks

My friend who works at the porsche/audi/mazda dealership is getting me some awesome condition take offs but i dont know what the aspect is on them. Would these be able to mount on Stock 18'' rims without trouble and without sacrificing handling?

I'm curious if 18x8 +33 or +37 offset w/225/45's front

18x9 +37 w/255/40's rear

would do me right.

They will fit......why staggered setup though????

You could run the 18X9 +37 with the 255's on all 4 corners..then you could rotate your tires ......and not upset the balance of the car

I'm running the 225's up front on my 8 now that are in decent shape. The 255's only have about 100 miles on em'. I now have an excuse for 255 up front

thanks for the quick post.

I am pretty sure there will be no problems because it is between +40 and +50. Would a +40 offset also fit fine? I was also curious about the tire size. I know people said that this tire size is equivalent to the stock 225's, but does that also mean that these won't compromise traction in the rain if I got Toyo T1R's? Thanks.

i m running the exact same set up but with te37 instead
it should be fine

i should fit perfect, but if you lower ur car, i believe the rear fender hv to be rolled

245 front
275 rear is popular for this set up

i think if u go any lower than stock
you need to roll the rear fender, even though it will not rub normally
but if u hv passenger or go over speed bump, it will rub

good pick on tire!!!
width should be 8.5 front and 9.5 rear

for the offset.....
it depends....
for the ultimate look...it should be front +29 and rear +35
but i am not sure it will clear big brake kit and it require fender roll

and I guess I might be confused.
I am a old school FC guy I have owned 5 fc's ( and 4 240's)
normally when we talk about rolling the fenders we mean a like actually widening them, like this.

you can see how the fender was stretched out.

now when you say roll, do you mean just roll back the inner lip of the fender?

exactly...
but i am not sure if ppl stretch their rx8 fender out...
personally i think it will look weird since our fender is already convex...

my first car is a 98 pearl white 240
i miss her every time when i look at some drift event pictures...

yea I cant imagine someone trying to stretch a rx8 fender, that would look pretty ugly. but if all I have to do is roll that lip back, I can do that myself

Does anyone know if the stock 350z 17'' rims would fit? Yes I know they are staggered, but I can get a brand new set for $300 bucks with brand new tires on them so was wondering if they would fit to use as some cheap autox rims.

edit: F & R 17x9 , +25 offset
w/ 255/40/17
