Well the 275 35 19 came in so I installed them. Yep I need a roll. Now if it rubs a little will this cause damage? I need to drive the car to work and during lunch ill have them rolled at a auto body shop. Should I be ok to drive it like this? It rubs only when bumps. Not all the time.

Here is another one that I'm questioning the size/offset.

19x9 front w/ +37 or +42
19x10 rear w/ +37

Front tires most likely would have to be a 235/35/19 or 265/30/19
Rear tires most likely would have to be a 275/30/19

That is just going by what most people run for 18s(overall height for the tire is what I'm basing this on).

Car is on Tein S.Techs

^That definitally won't fit in the rear.

that would be a beautiful setup IMO but with that kind of drop and that offset - there's a good chance it'll rub if not worse...

You'll need to pull the rears.

So I just bought some wheels that are 20x11.5 with a +25 offset...do you guys think these will fit without any modification?????????

Your on stock ride height, maybe with really small tire and a lot of camber, but I really doubt it.

Just for shiggles, whats the widest tire you could do in both the front and rear to maintain the neutral handling? How would you have to do it?

You can run 285's on all 4 corners with the right wheels.....

With regard to optimal Snow tyres and rims, I'm given to understand for normally 18 inch equipped RX-8s that 17 inch rims and corresponding snow tyres are preferable to the OEM size. What rim offset and width is the narrowest that will accommodate the GT/Touring brakes? What would be the smallest tyre (to give the best bite in the snow) that would support the weight of the car properly and yet still fit on the aforementioned rims?

dspec's and swift springs?? hmmmm - sounds like my setup - Back track a couple of pages and you should be able to find some valuable info -

I've combed through pretty much all of the posts in this thread and have searched other threads. I'm finding some mixed answers in regards to a setup I'm looking to get. Some say it will fit no problem but other posts say they will rub depending on the tire.

18x9.5 +35 on FR & RR.

This will be my daily driver and I will not be lowering the car.

Will this fit & what size tire options do I have?

Thanx in advance.

How wide of tires can I fit (front and rear), on stock rims, without rubbing/rolling? I'm trying to figure out how much I can get to the ground for my R-compounds that I need to buy.

Max tire you can possibly fit is 275 all around, you will rub with that tire setup, but with a minor roll you should be fine.

imput1234

iTrader: (6)

No roll should be needed, your not gonna be flush.

dragonish

Hey thanks for the response,

I don't want to modify the body and want the max tire size without rubbing. Would 245/255 all around be ok?
