Alright Question.

I have some RPF1's that are 18x8.5 35mm offset in the front and 18x9.5 45mm in the rear. I like the rears how they are more "concave" other then my fronts witch are "bubbled" out.

If I wanted the to get new wheels so they are all concave but are more flush then the rear 45mm offset would i get a lower mm offset? and if I did, wouldnt that make them "bubbled" out? Since my fronts are a lower mm (and they are bubbled) So should i just use a spacer to make them more flush?

Dude, we're not giving you ****, we were telling you what it takes to fit. 10 +25 REQUIRES a shaved bumper tab in the rear if you dont want any rubbing. If you can live with the rubbing on every little bump in the road, then yes they will fit.

10 +35 on the other hand might not require work on those tabs (depending on tire width) and would still be "flush".

No, the reason the 8.5's are convex are because of the wheel width. If you got 9.5 +35 all around, they would be just as concave as the 9.5 +45 becuase of how the rpf1 is machined (bolts sit farther in rather than the spokes pulling in). It's confusing, I know. And Im not exactly sober to sorry if htat doesnt make sense.

It won't be as flush as the s2000 pictured. I'm sure he has shaved his bumper tabs, lol. And s2000's have staggered fitment from the factory, in case you were still into the staggered look.

Our fenders can take quite a bit, it just takes a bit of work to make it work

if you want to be a real baller then you need to run negative offsets

rolled fenders, shaved rear tabs and camber and it can be done with +20. +15 requires pulled fenders for 265's.

Don't make me space out some 9.5's just to say it's been done! lmao

Better yet, factory wheels with 65mm spacers. ROFL.

Advan Model T5's 19x8.5 +38 for front 19x9.5 +42 for the rear wrapped in Dunlop star specs 245/35 - Front, 275 / 30 rear

I kinda guessed on the tire size, I don't want any "stretch"

Tanabe Pro 5 coilovers and RacingBrake BBK

Thanks for the input!

It's your car and you can do what you want, but there is no reason to go staggered. There won't be any poke. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/jedi54-version-2-01-a-212870/

Jedi is running 19x8.5 +38 for front 19x10 +42 in the rear. Thats who I based my numbers off of. I really like how flush he is but he has a bit of stretch on the rear which is why I dropped the rear rim width but kept the tire size.

Not 100% positive, but I'm willing to bet that the star specs are wider than those Toyos even in the same size. I don't think 8.5 +38 is really flush but to each his own.

Ok, so knowing what I'm looking for, what size and offset would you recomend to me? I don't want to roll my fenders and don't want any rub.
