That's in the realm of make it fit. That doesn't fit at all.

Just seems a bit ridiculous when people ask for a narrow wheel w/aggressive offsets when they can simply get a bigger wheel n' modest offset n' have a better balance of looks n' purpose.

If it's cost then i can't imagine a company would punish you with a bigger price tag from going up half an inch from an 8.5 set.

I just bought this rx8 and it has brand new 225/45/18's on it and the max size rim for those is the 18x8.5 and I found a wheel I like with the 25 offst, I just don't want to do any mods to make them fit.

That's about an inch away from "fitting". When you try to have poke then it doesn't fit. You force it to fit.

edit: Poke is the devil. I don't help people become friends with the devil.

18x9.5 +23, 245-40-18

I'm assuming I will need a roll and bumper tab shave, I'm having a hard time finding any resources on shaving the tab, I've tried the search and haven't found much, any secret thread I am missing?

I know what/where it is, just wasnt sure if there was a 'best' way of going about it shaving it/bending it... if dremel it is, then that pretty well answers my Q,
