Isnt the 255(width) 40(height)

Stock is 245/45/r18

These new rims are 10in wide so the 255 would be streched, with a slight shorter height.

Stock is 225/45/18. Look up how the aspect ratio works because a 225/45/18 is not as tall as a 245/45/18 or 255/45/18. 255/45/19 is even taller. It's probably close to a 255/50/18.

Question! Will 19x9.5 with 245/35/19 in the front and 19x10.5 with 275/35/19 in the rear with +22 offset all around work with stock suspension? Need fenders rolled?

Not to bust your bubble but - this is the 'will IT fit' thread - not the 'give me something that will fit' thread.

You gotta come in here with a wheel already in mind and then ask if it'll fit.

Otherwise there's a lot of specs that can work but it would be dependent on the wheel that you choose. All wheels don't share similar specs. . .

Ok how about Tenzo-R Tracer v1, they are 19X8.5 offset+45 I want 245/35 tires, my car is about 1.5" lower than stock and Mazdaspeed body kit.
So the great question is "will it fit?"
PS: I know what these thread is about but i was just trying to get some ideas for the improvement of the RX8s. Anyways thank you.

You are going less aggressive than what you have now and you wonder if it will fit? LOL Then he tells you it fits no problem and you doubt him? Come on now.

I was on a Ramp going to the freeway (happy driving but NOT too fast or drifting) so I felt some crack n I thought it was a hole, drove all the way to my house without problems n without knowing about the wheel, the day after I was washing the car when I saw the dawn freaking spoke broken all around. I just wanna to shut myself but hey at least it didnt break the whole n that it would be terrible.

You would have to buy all four because I had mine painted

Shocked the wheel could crack on its own though because they are very strong.
