35 wouldn't be too much. It would be too little if anything (it would be fine actually)

Need the wheel offset and width to tell

Tires should fit if the wheels are OK

^He had it on his heading: "I'm about to buy some 18x8.75 +25."

The width will be ok with that offset on the 245/40's as long as you're not lowered, otherwise, you may rub a little.

J8635621 10-06-2015 01:09 PM

You didn't finish. If he isn't lowered then it will look like shit.

Carloshrx8 10-07-2015 12:01 PM

size, width?
 
Sorry for the bad picture but anyone got an idea what size and width these rims are?

Alright I"m looking at some wheels locally and I'm curious if they will fit or not. The wheel and tire specs are as followed...
18x9.5 +22
255/35/18

Car is lowered on coilovers so I can mess with the height if need be. Currently low but not slammed by any means.

Grace_Excel 10-08-2015 11:06 PM

You will defenitely rub with both that tire size and wheel offset. The wheels will poke out and the tires will have a box sidewall.

Is there anything I can do to make it fit? I've seen a few Rx-8s running this wheel and tire setup. I can post pics if needed.

Grace_Excel 10-10-2015 09:10 PM

Well, with that offset, you will need to mess with your camber; even if you try to flush it with a smaller width tires, you will eat up your tires.

Well my fenders are already rolled. Rolled them for safe measure with my old wheels. and I plan on running a 2 degrees of camber all the way around. Tires aren't a huge concern because I get deals on them. That being said I don't want to go through them at a stupid rate. With all this said will it work or should I pass it up and go with something less aggressive?

If this is too aggressive what would you recommend getting? Ideally I want a 18x9.5 and run a 255/35 and be as flush as possible but still be able to rail the shit out of the car on a back road.

Grace_Excel 10-12-2015 03:14 PM

255 is pretty meaty. I ran 245/45 on a +38 offset with my 18x9.5 wheels and I was rubbing at the rear(fenders aren't rolled) and ate up my front fender-well liners and had a bad front tires camber wear. If you're considereing that wheels and tire size(18x9.5-255/35), you may have to get a set of wheels with less offset, around +35 to +40. Below is a member here with a +40. Mine are back on stock height with the bronze wheels.

Shorter tires make a difference though.

Kirill Morozov 10-15-2015 06:53 AM

225/45/18
R18 8.5J 40 with 25mm spacers (or which spacers better to get for flush or stance look?)

strokercharged95gt 10-16-2015 10:22 PM

I am looking at buying 18x10.5 with +35 offset, I assume I will have to do some fender rolling. I am looking at 265-285 35/18. Any idea how much work it will take to minimize tire rub. The car is not lowered yet, but will be in the foreseeable future... I don't wanna do any of those whack camber adjustments. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That's stock size(except the offset), but a 15 mm wheel spacers will be just right.

That offset will make your wheel poke out, you'd have to do more than just pulling the fenders out.

Tire Size (front): 235/40R19
Tire Size (rear): 265/35R19

Wheels size is based on LEXUS GS 350 F Sport

Will it fit?
 
Just wanted to say 265x35x18 on stock spacing fits front and back perfectly handles alot better to

TomX8 11-17-2015 06:48 AM

Does anyone know if 235/55/18 tyres fit under the RX-8? Or will it drag in the chassis when I turn the wheels or if the chassi suspends down?

I found some sweet "18 with 235/55 tyres on them, but it's quite far away and don't want to find out when I'm there that they don't fit.

Grace_Excel 11-21-2015 04:20 AM

235/55/18 I think is stock wheels for CX-5s. And yes, it will rub. Ideally, you want to stay around "35 - 40" sidewall profile; may be "45" if the tires' width is 225 or 235.

elcool 11-21-2015 09:01 PM

My current tires are 225/45 ZR 18 95Y , and really worn out
I was thinking of getting 255/40ZR18/XL99(Y) same brand & tire : Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Do I have to account for the rim width? How do I do that?

I want to know if they would fit the car correctly.
Also, doing the math, the current tires are 101.25 tall , and the new ones would be 102 tall.
How would this affect the ride or speedometer?
And can I do the change without any other impacts?
I'm also thinking this would help in not getting the rim so scratched.

Will It Fit Thread
 
Please read the rules of how to post here. We need to know the size of the wheel, as well in order to assist you with fitment...
