Why are you all even posting in the "will it fit" thread if you know the questions are going to be aimed towards stance.
The 8 is slow, handles alright. Its just a daily to most people. If I want functionality I'll go drive my s14.

The "aggressive thread" is for pictures, not questions about fitment.
Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make me upset...so carry on.

OK.....If you want some real help...you are going to have to post up the information we would need to help you

So you have 10" wheels...what diameter and offset are they? So far we can't tell you much except your choice of tire sizes for a 10" wheel are not usual

Trying to be nice on a Sunday Morning...don't dissapoint me with more crap responses

To an extent. We usually don't deal with people who know nothing about fitment in our thread. If you don't know what offset means you shouldn't try to stance your car. LOL

I've had aggressively fitted cars before, just never an 8. I don't think its too farfetched to ask about front fitment.

Wheels are 18x10 +12 for the front. Tires are 225/45. I have 245/35's as well but I don't really want to run that short of a sidewall being in wv.

18x10 +45 with 285/30-18 tires bolts on with zero mods and no rubbing

Only a total maroon doesn't consider that an aggressive stance

I would spend the extra money and get 40 sidewall tires. You will have issues with that tall of a tire. 245/35 would be your better option of the two. Fitment-wise that is.

Word. I don't care to buy new tires if I have to, but figure I'd see what I could get by with.

I apologize in advance for not know much, but I found a deal on some 19x7.5" that I'm thinking about buying, just wondering if 7.5" is too narrow or if it would work with spacers? Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't have a lot of time to search for answers, and what searching I've done hasn't answered my question. I'm running a stock rx8 currently, with the 18" oem wheels. Eventually going to lower it but these wheels with tires are only 275 now. I can't figure out how to post photos on the mobile site so I'll try to post those tomorrow morning.

Actually the guy isn't sure if they're 48 or 42. Would either of those fit?

They will fit...but they will be sunken in further than stock ( about 1/2")

With the narrower rims they won't allow you to run much wider than stock tires

You would need about 1" spacers to make them sit in a good spot

Thank you, I appreciate the quick and helpful answer. Would the narrowness of them affect the ride and handling much? Or with stock tires would it be the same?

With the 19's the sidewall will be a bit shorter...so a bit stiffer.

No Vossen wheel is actually that aggressive. The only issue is the don't come in sizes smaller than 19's for the nice concave ones.

You guys think 18x9.5 +15et fronts and 18x11+15et rears will fit?
Also what tires? I was thinking 245/35-18 and 285/30-18?

Define "fit". If you mean easily. ...no

If you mean if you pull fenders and trim the underliners...and run max camber...and stretch the tires....maybe
