I definetly want to go 19, figured 10 would be too wide. What are your recommendations? Just want wheels to line up flush fenders.

prospectjtaz-

You can fit 9.5 back there with a +35 offset, I did. For tires I went with 275/30 - 19 the rim is as flush as I want the back looks aggressive. I did have to cut away the inner lip on the fender. let me know if you want some pics.

You'll be fine, if you run 275, rear will rub.

hmmmm - stretched huh? My guess is you'll be ok - definately post back with results as i believe the offset is a little agressive however with the stretched tire it might be feasible. If anything, a slight roll.

You'll have no problems, if you camber it out, you can go low too.

I hope i am posting on the right place.
Could anyone take a look on these
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-New-RS4-Aud...QQcmdZViewItem
that comes with kumho ku31 235/35/19 i know is not the best choice for tyres but what the heck. To install a set of four pirellis or yokohama or bridgestone i will need about 1000euro here in Cyprus. For 800euro i could get these 19" wheels with tyres :P
and let me know if they will fit my 8? Everything is stock on my 8.
I don't get the things with offset and all technical.
The only thing I want more from the OEM 18" is to refresh my looks (big wheels). I love the handling and feeling i have now. What it would be with these wheels?

Thanks!

They will fit fine, but I'm not sure they will bolt up to the RX8. I'm not sure on that bolt pattern. Those seem to be replicas and the 100/112 under bolt pattern means it could be 5x100 or 5x112 (I think), neither of which fit our car. You need 5x114.3. They do make adapters for that but I think they are pretty expensive.
