dumb dumbs.

 

Rays Engineering Gram Light 57s Pro w/Titanium lip.
19x9.5 all round
which offset would be better
+32 +35 +42
I intend to run a 255/35 or 265/35 tire.

Minor guard rolling is acceptable however major guard work is not.

Stock 2011 R3 suspension for now however BC Coilovers will be fitted in the near future.

These wheels I intend to use for shows, events etc. Everyday driving I will continue to use the stock R3 wheels.

Thanks for your help.

 

Lower car first and then +35 with 265/35 and a fender roll. I'd say +32 but then you might need to trim up the rear bumper tab.

 

Thanks for that. I am glad to hear some good, definitive advice after searching through this thread. Thanks.

 

18x8.5 +25
with 225 45 18
On stechs
Just got the tires but the rims dont come in same width so i was wondering on some info on how it might look with the 1/2 in smaller tire

 

I'm currently running TSW Valencia's 18x9.5 +20 with 245/40.
I'm rolled and slightly pulled. I want to change up my stance and go for more of a track stance for this autocross season.

Will a 18X10.5 +45 285/30 for the rear?

 

I have these tires: 255/40/17
I have this suspension coming: Powertrix coilovers

Not really sure how low I'm going to go yet. Depends on clearance I guess.

Time for wheels. Im going with 17x9s
The offsets I see offered is either +35 or +42

Im building this setup for autocross. will the +35 tuck in the fenders under heavy compression/weight transfer without rubbing?
Thanks.

 

Should work with a fender roll maybe. Get +42 if it's for autocross.

 

Too much tire. No track 8 N/A runs that wide of a tire. Inner clearance is something I'm not super sure on and that would be close. 265/35 it should work though

 

It will look eh

 

Definitely don't want to roll the fenders. Guess its the 42s. Thanks

 

Stock rims and suspension.

245/40r18 Star Specs or Rs-3 for auto-x?

 

Yes with like 17 feet of clearance

 

lol - how was that a "will it fit" question??

 

Can the factory wheels fit on my factory car with factory tires under street driven conditions? Plz help before armageddon

 

Wow so I ask a simple question and you you make fun of me. Yay sounds like this is a great helpful forum. First its not stock tires size. I am new to Rx-8's so I do not know the tolerence for tire width within the wheel well. Came from a different car that had very limited room for tires. I also mention that it was for auto-x not just street use. If there is a better place on this forum to be asking these question please direct me to it (not just the search button I tried).

 

Lol. It's not your fault but you can look at the car and know there is more than 10mm of room. Or the previous 100 posts and see many more aggressive (inner and outer clearance) setups. I wish you good luck in all future endeavors and hope you are fruitful with children should you so desire. God bless

 

Lol J gives people a hard time here. Just gotta deal with it

 

The plan is to no longer be N/A at the end of the year and i only want to buy wheels once. I really want the fat *** look and massive amounts of grip which is why i want to go so wide.

so if the 285 is too wide of a tire, will the wheel fit with a problem? Because I could run a lower offset if inner clearance is an issue. I dont mind rolling and pulling a little more if i have too.

 

srsly...

can we just lock this thread and use it for reference?

 

since you've already rolled your fenders and have a slight pull - you'll be fine w/that setup.


Imo, still a bit of overkill w/the 285's no so much because of a clearance issue (you'll be fine) but you could save the weight w/a 275 and just look for a better compound.

 

If you want to pull the fenders, you can certainly go to 10.5 +35 with 285s.

 

Sweet thanks guys. i see what you mean by the weight savings of the 275. as far as compound goes, i will run the Kumho auto cross tires, so they are the stickiest allowed in the street class.

 

19x9 +50 all around I know its not an agressive fitment but thats the stock rim offset plus 1" width will it fit and how far sunk in will it be can I counter it with a spacer and what if any tires options would I have?
Thanks

 

need lots more information
