If your car isn't lowered I might work depending on the suspension travel. I have 275/30- 19 on mine and i had to cut the lip off. my car i lowered too.

possible, but not practical. 255 would be a LOT better

The wheels come with a +48 offset, but I'd run a 5mm, 8mm, or 10mm spacer to get them to fit properly with a decent size tire.


Let me know what ya'll think soon cause I want to order my tires this week.

+48 you'll be able to clear fine with that size

I asked this before, thinking on picking up a set of 17x10s with +38... Now i do have coilovers so height is adjustable. Would 275/40/17 fit fine?
Thanks

I have read the thread mostly through but i need a little help if anyone is willing...

19 x 8.5 EITHER +35 or +45, i HAVE to run a minimum 10 mm spacer (the reason of which will become apparent at a later date), which makes the offsets +25 and +35...

This will be a square setup and id like to run a 245 35 19 tire on this setup, any thoughts?

(don't ask about the mandatory spacer, again, ill explain later :P)

Thanks in advance!

I'd take the +45 offset wheels if you must use a 10mm spacer. Plus, I'd also run 255/35/19s.

After a roll/pull you'll be fine.

^ Most people would get 245/35/19 or 275/30/19 for the smaller diameter that fits the speedo better.

Ok so would a 255/35/19 fit a 19x9.5 +37 offset in the rear with s-techs? I had 275/30's in the rear and they rub'd so i roled the fenders and they still rub'd the plastic inside the bumper.

It will fit, better? Not necessarily, that's based on what you think. If you are talking about rubbing, yeah it'll help a lot

Will be close to an inch too far out...this won't likely work at all...especially if lowered

Try a different offset, these won't work

I'm looking to run an 18x8.5 with either a 35+ or 38+ offset. Would it fit and look right to use 225/45R18 tires with this or is there a better size? I'm torn between matte black fn01r-c's and black super hiros. they are both the same price and idk which to get. I haven't been able to find any RX-8's with super hiros so idk if they would look good or not.

Also one more question. Anyone know if the Super Hiros take TPMS?

Thanks

225/45 will work and not look bad on 8.5" rims, but if you are getting new tires then I would suggest atleast 245/40 if not 255/40.
