Looking at getting some Advan tc-III specs are 18x9 5x114.3 +25 Honestly I have only had the car about two weeks do not know if it is lowered or not, it has some 18" wheels now I know they are from mazda do not know what model they look like the R3 but not quite sure, tires are 225/45/18. They are hella sunk and have to go!!!

Series 2 oem wheels are what you have. You don't look lowered to me. Those wheels you picked out will require coilovers and a nice drop to look good. 245/40 + roll fenders and shave the rear bumper tab.
20-25mm spacers all around would fix the sunkenness for now

It like this thread, its like the beginner version of the "aggressive wheel fitment thread"
where people can practice posting and asking questions while only getting mildly trolled without being totally crushed!

Hey guy just wanted to thank everyone for helping pick the right setup. Figured i'd post some pictures so you can see how it came out. I'm absolutely in love.

You have to play here first, Danmn, before you move up to the big leagues and start adjusting camber.
8 O'clock, are those tires on backwards?
How about stock wheels with 245/60 on a 3" lift? And 20mm spacers.

Nope haha, I'll admit it does look like that though but the side treads are reversed from center on this tire.

So i am getting new wheels finally. I was going to buy Enkei RP03 19x9,5 ET42, but it seems like they dont produce it anymore.
So i have some other options left for this wheels:
19x8,5 ET22
19x9 ET18
19x10 ET22
I will be lowered on Bilstein PSS9 or Tein Flex and I am willing to roll the fenders.
I am also looking for an advice on tire choice.

lol, 19s do not look "WAY too big"
I had 19s for years, I now have 18s but I did it for weight reduction and styling.
different wheels look completely different in sizes. some 19s do look big, some look small. it all has to do with the design of the wheel itself.

agreed with J, those options aren't very good. 
If not for the specs the suspension options.
19's are niceee. With properly dialed in specs, they look great. imo, i wouldn't even consider buying a multi-piece wheel unless they were at least 19's - primarily because i just feel the faces on some 18's look kinda small (ie, meisters)

combo'd with the flex or bilsteins, i don't think he'll acheive a similar look. iirc the flex is pretty modest n' i can't imagine bilstein being any better.
also judging by the OP - i don't think he's aware that simply rolling his fenders are going to suffice. He's gonna need to shave his tabs to prevent super-herpa-aids.

And this is why I love this community - so many different points of view and opinions...
Back to the topic - I have revised my approach a bit. I want a nice looking setup with 19', but not as aggressive as Dan's.
Now the choice is RP05 in 19x9,5 ET40 or ET30. I can already imagine you saying ET30 not good, but what is your opinion again. Thanks in advance.

Again, you're asking for opinions. Deal with the responses you get.

I am not sure if you thought my statement was sarcastic - it was not.
Different opinions i was reffering to is that for some people any modification means that it will not fit, and for others it means will fit if you do the needfull - and they explain these things.
I have changed the choice to RP05 - RP03 is currently available only in the sizes i have listed above and they were all indicated as "will no fit" (except Dan - i saw his modifications and i will not go that far).
So I want RP05 and i want the wheels to look convex - so i am willing to do some mods in order to fit for ex ET30. I dont know what is the exact size of the wheel in RE- Amemiya RX8 as in this picture
PS. As the market in Poland is not as vast as in US it is hard to find someone having wheels on site to check the fitting - everything is for order. This is why i ask the community.
