What model is your RX8? Why would you want to run staggered RX7 wheels anyway?

 

Because I have them and nobody wants to buy them. So instead of the letting the tires dryrot I figured I'd use them.

 

Not really a will it fit question, but if I want to use my CX-7 wheels to commute to track days that are far away, would that be a generally good or bad idea?

Specs:
18x7.5 +52 (50 or 52, not entirely sure)
225/35/18

I also have a set of Mazda 3 wheels, 17x6.5 +52, but clearance might start getting sketchy...

 

20x8.5, and 20x10 all four with +25 offset, will it fit? i know i will have to run 245 in the back and 225 in the front to get a decent stretch and got to roll the fenders but i just wanna get another opinion on what i should do and if itll fit good

 

Cx7 came with 225/35/18???

9kroratryvwneus - dear Jesus no

 

well...ill do it anyways and you guys will see it later lol

 

oh lawd...

your car is gonna look like a japanese chevy.

fyi people are running 11's up front in the +20 offset. You're talking about doing +25 with 8.5 and stretching tires...

math...it helps

 

No, the wheels are on my Mazda 3 now. Hence the spare Mazda 3 wheels

 

You can but speedo will be way off and gas mileage will be even worse due to shortened sidewall.

 

should I go with 225/45?

Here's what I get for going from OEM 225.45.19 to 225.35.18, left column old right new:

Diameter 685.1mm 614.7mm
Circumference 2152.3mm 1931.1mm
Poke 54.6mm 43.3mm
Inset 148.6mm 147.3mm
Speedo error 0% 11.45%
Reading at 30mph 30mph 33.44mph
Reading at 60mph 60mph 66.87mph
Ride height gain 0mm -35.2mm
Arch gap loss 0mm -35.2mm


And this if I put 45s on (35 was just for looks on the 3)

Old New
Diameter 685.1mm 659.7mm
Circumference 2152.3mm 2072.5mm
Poke 54.6mm 43.3mm
Inset 148.6mm 147.3mm
Speedo error 0% 3.85%
Reading at 30mph 30mph 31.16mph
Reading at 60mph 60mph 62.31mph
Ride height gain 0mm -12.7mm
Arch gap loss 0mm -12.7mm

 

Yes I can do math. Pretty sure it is 225/40/19 stock for an r3

 

Thats what I meant

 

Ok so I just got some 18x8 et30 on 225/40/18 (front)
And 18x9.5 et 26 on 265/35/18 (rears) dropped on h&r springs (1.5" drop) will it fit!?!

Thanks guys?

 

Sounds like you have them. Put them on.

 

Step 1: Buy a helmet

Step 2: Put on the helmet.

 

I know they will fit on stock suspension but I was just hoping someone might have a clue wether they will be ok with the drop before I fit the lowering springs as I've heard h&r tend to drop quite low so just wondered if it's worth a try or Deffinatley won't fit? Cheers again guys!

 

Your definition of fit must be different than mine. That **** would be way out there

 

Looking at 18 X 8.5 35 offset running 255/35. From what I have read it seems like it should be fine but I just wanted to make certain before ponying up. This is good right?

 

run 245/40. it's a better fit and closer to stock rolling diameter

 

Noob time


When you say rolling diameter, do you mean circumference?

Or do you mean diameter...in which case why say "rolling"?

 

no i meant diameter. I could have said outside diameter instead if it clears it up.

 

I found a cheap set of rims for an '06 Mazda Miata.
They are 17x7, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 55mm offset

Will they fit on my '06 Rx8 with a dropped Tokico D-Spec Suspension?
I have 17" wheels with tire size: 225/45 on the front & 215/55 on the back

Thanks!!!

 

The only issues you'll have are making them look good or perform better than stock...

 

I don't remember the specs for brake clearance. Test fit in front before buying
