fit question
My turn...
Anyone have an opinion on these Enkei RZ5
Wheel - 18x8.5 +24.
Tire - Bridgestone Potenza S-03 PP - 225/45R18
I am dropped about 1.5 F, 1.75 R. Will these stick out enough to cause me to need to roll my fenders? I love these rims and the price is sweet, I just don't want to have to do more modifications for wheels. That offset is pretty scary. But then again... I'm a noob and don't know enough about it.

Well since I'm not familar with those springs, I googled and they seem to be a 1.3" F and .9" R drop. They should fit without a roll if you keep 225s, but if you step up to 245s like most people then it will need a fender roll. Some other stuff like your camber setting matters, but you should be safe. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...highlight=rota edit for similar setup Your's would be 6mm farther out in the front and rim would be the same in the rear with a little more stretch on the rear tires.

Setup C is what i would go with but that just IMO, Fender Pull for sure maybe even some Camber!

I have my 18x8 +33 in the front and 18x9 +28 in the rear with a roll currently and it's working fine, aside from occasionally brushing against some of the plastic lining stuff that's still there after trimming it during the roll. With a bit of a trim it would be absolutely fine.
Might get some tein S-techs off someone and wondering if I'd encounter any issues with that. I've only had issues in the rear thus far and it's still not too problematic even with 2 people in the back (which I'd say effectively lowers the car more than the S-techs should). My only concern now is if I'd encounter issues in the front. Even though I feel fairly comfortable saying the rear would be ok, please advise me for both front and rear just in case.
