I was looking at some 19x8.5 in rims with 245/40 tires all around. I am installing the J-speed body kit which is pretty aggressive. I was looking for the same on my wheels with those numbers would it be kinda aggressive? BTW no mods to suspension so car is stock height. The offset on these are +35

Hi guys,
I'm looking to get a flush look for my '04 rx8.
Stock suspension currently, but I was thinking about getting some aftermarket coilovers and dropping my ride height by 1-1.5". With that in mind I want to run 19x9.5 +25 wheels all around. Don't mind rolling fenders or any of that. Whats a good tire size w/o stretching too much, and also will this work?

Hello guys~
My friend has 19x8 +40 wheels with 235-35-19 tires on the front and 19x9.5 +40 with 255-35-19 tires in the rear.
Now, if he would add 15mm spacers all around with the same set up, would he need any adjustments such as rolling fenders to make this fit?
I guess with the spacers the specs would be:
F: 19x8 +25 with 235-35-19 tires
R: 19x9.5 +25 with 255-35-19 tires
I ran these numbers on an offset calculator and the suspension side change would be about +0.6 inches with fender side change coming out to +0.59 inches on all sides from the original setup without the spacers. However, I don't know how to figure out if these would fit without any issues. Please help if you can.
Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, new to the RX8 scene... Anyway I have a 04 6 speed car that is going under the knife for a LSx swap (probably will be a hair lower in the front then stock) Anyway I am thinking of tossing a pro kit on it after or something to just lower it just a tad and increase the spring rates.
ANYWAY Last night someone that didn't know what they had gave me a single Volk SF-Winning rim.
19x9.5 +29
I was thinking for the front and doing 10.5 in the back but looking at what other people fit it looks like I would have to use this on the rear? I am not picky on front tire size as this will be a LSx car I just need a massive contact patch on the rear and not to much camber.
There is a single wheel that matches on eBay right now that is 19x10.5 +29 that is pretty cheap considering the price of these rims. Anyway looking for pretty much the widest I can run... 275/285/and so on....
What do you guys recommend for me? Or just sell it and get something different?
Car is currently sitting on some cheapo 18's with 245's all around.
Thanks,
Kyle

im having trouble figuring out what size tires to get and understanding how it will relate to performance... I have 19x8.5 Axis Hiro's (either +35 or +45) and stock ride height...
wheels currently have 235/35/19... I would like to go wider if possible and also maybe a slightly larger profile to fill in some wheel gap (but not at the cost of lessening the handling capabilities)
Can anyone fill me on my options and how it might translate as far as performance? This is my daily, not tracked, but definitely driven hard. Im prolly going with the V12 Evo's which come in
235/35R19XL 91Y SBL
245/35R19XL 93Y SBL
245/40R19XL 98Y VSB
245/45R19XL 102Y VSB
255/35R19XL 96Y SBL
255/40R19XL 100Y VSB
If it matters, I am only replacing the rear tires and in a few months will move them up front and get new rears again, so for a little while it will still be 235/35/19 up front... Thanks for any help

Was told these would fit my Rx-8 and look decent, and sit flush.
Car is lowered on hks hipermaxx rs
Volk Racing te-37 19x8.5 +35 Running 225/35/19 Front
Volk Racing TE-37 19x9.5 +34 Running 265/35/19 Rear
Tires are BFG Gforce KDW
Will I be happy with this set up?

It's ok. You didn't say how lowered you are but I'd imagine you would like it. Fronts are a little weak. Switch it up to 245/35 in the front when you wear those out I guess and 265 or 275/30 in the rear. Front tires are shorter than the rears by a bit but I'm not sure if that will set off traction control or whatever. Roll fenders and maybe trim that rear bumper tab a little bit.

Thanks. So of the two, which would be the better performer in terms of handling? I know the 255 would put more rubber on the ground but would it also be less rigid during cornering???

Yea. There is no one perfect tire for every situation. Both have pretty short sidewalls so sidewall stiffness shouldn't be too big an issue. edit: If you have stock height, 19" Axis wheels, and aren't going to rotate your tires, then you don't care about handling THAT much. Just get the one you want and don't read so much into it.

thanks for your help!
and i know the 19's and stock height arent necessarily conducive to better handling, I was asking just to learn more and start to understand the differences and relations with the various set-ups. Thanks again

Ernie it's possible but requires a fender pull and some magic. It can be counted on one hand the number of people running something that aggressive.
eBay guy - technically yes but everyone will kick your *** if you do. Literally search your ip address, find you, and put a boot print on your ***.
