that's stock size I think, unless its an R3 (then they're just 19s). yes those tires will fit no problem

 

That is only 10mm less offset than the factory wheels and 225/45-18 is the stock tire size. It will look weak as hell but it will fit easily

 

why you say its gonna look weak as hell? are there gonna be wider or more narrow then the stock ones?
im a bit confused on what makes a tire wider and and more narrow. Whats the max size and offset i could go with no fender roll? considering we stay with 18's

 

neither. its going to look exactly the same.

 

ok last question would i need a fender roll with this setup.

also i plan on applying Tein S coils that drops the rx8
Wheel:
Wheel Size: 18 x 8.5
BoltPattern: 5/114.3
WheelOffset: 45 mm


Tire:
225/45/18

and would it look good or too wide






taking votes hehe

 

In case anyone wants to know why I don't help this thread much anymore....^ that right there and then people wanting 18x12s. I have to place my personal health above this bullcrap

 

whats wrong with 18x 8,5?

after all there is a reason why im on this forum :P
its because i dont know better and im looking to find out if it fits

 

You want spoonfed an answer and you use bullshit emoticons

 

I run a 9.5 width + 40 offset. its flush on stock suspension which I have said numorous times... your gonna be hellasunk with an 8 width

Listen to 9Krpm, he knows his stuff.

 

Bump. Looking to be very aggressively stanced. Not looking for opinions about the scene.

Didn't really get a helpful response last time, except to say I'll need a roll. Can't be that easy, and I still can't find a definite answer anywhere. Thanks!


Hey, that's a really cool story bro. Let's all sit in a circle and punch ourselves in the intelligence, instead of realizing that it's actually easier to just... oh, I don't know, accept a different taste. You could just help after all, but I guess you reflect society's ignorance nowadays.

 

Post of the year right there

 

yah i have never really gotten a answer on this wheel forum :P been a year and i still have not bought wheels rofl

 

Polish Person, I guess I'll help you out considering my setup is going to be much more aggressive than you.
But before I get into any issues, the rears wont fit, not even close. Its going to rub your suspension on the inside. You're going to need an offset closer to +10 if you dont want an 18x12 to hit your suspension.

 

so looked it up on the web on a cool webpage i found so seems like a the bigger the positive offset pushes then wheel in towards the car. and a lower offset say 20 pushes the wheel out towards the fender/wing of the car.

now that i understand that whats the lowest offset i could go with 18x8.5? i basically have 2 options 45mm and 20mm or Else it drops to 18x9 32mm im dropping the car by about 1inch so keep that in mind.

 

glad you actually did some research. Honestly I've seen people with a 9.5" wheel do negative offsets on Rx8's. I think with 18x9 +32 you would be looking at little to know fender work with the right size tire.

 

interesting and what kind of tire you got in mind to make it work? and did you conside i plan on dropping the car 1inch?

 

haha an inch is nothing.
on a 9" wheel I would run like a 245/40 if you dont want a stretched tire.

 

haha sadly in terms of cost for now i would prob have to go with a steched tire :P is 225/45/18 pushing it?

 

I have 225/35's on an 18x11, I think you'll be okay. I would suggest doing a 40 sidewall though, 45 is too big.

 

Alright if i planned on getting 18x8 or 18x8.5 in front and 18x9 in the back do any problems occur for road safety or ECU or Speedometer.? And do i need to keep the same offset infront as back?


also would that look stupid?

 

No you wont have any problems, but I would go the same all the way around. easier and cheaper for tire sake

 

well for tire price it aint a big problem since i only drive the car in summer and barely do 3k with it!! so tires should last a good 2-3 years haha

 

Adapters wouldn't help push the wheel out? Thought they might fit if spaced out and with a bit of camber. Especially since the stock wheels run +50 offset.

Thanks anyway!

 

It seems math isnt your strong suit. He says you would need 50mm adapters for it to not rub on the inside.

 

What kind of tire do i need to protect my wheels from curb damage if im running 18x9.5 40mm offset
