The Yes It Did Fit Thread
What I'm doing:
I've decided that the best way to catalog different wheel/tire fitments on the Rx8 was to make a master-list of everyone's setup and previous setups. After a large group of people have posted there setups then I will make a new thread for the master-list. Why I'm doing it: To provide the guys who routinely help out in The Will It Fit Thread a break by preventing the same questions from being asked over and over again and to make the information more easily attained for information seekers. Post should include: Wheel size and offset Tire brand and size Suspension info If a spacer was used and if so what size stock, rolled, pulled, or trimmed Problems or not Please copy and paste in your post: Rims: Tires: Suspension: Spacers: Fender-wells: Problems: If you're not certain on your setup then please don't post in this thread. If you have questions about a setup please go to https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/will-fit-thread-133500/ Yes I know that all of this information is available in The Will It Fit Thread but it is 87 pages long and I don't have the time nor the energy to accumulate the information. Please participate and help out, Daniel |
I'll start:
Rims: 17x9 +45 Tires: Falken Azenis RT-615 255-40-17 Suspension: Tokico D-spec shocks/springs 1.25/1.25 drop Spacers: None Fenderwells: stock Problems: None |
Rims: 5zigen FN01r-c 17x10 +25
Tires: Falken Azenis 245/45/17 Suspension: Swift Springs Spacers: none Fender-wells: torn to pieces? Problems: Rubs. A lot. Can't get away without a roll, here. If you try to, it'll rub so much that the rear tires will eventually pull the inner lip DOWN with them, instead of up. Once you get a roll, it's alright. Rubs occasionally. If you get the wheels and tires without stiffer suspension your fronts will rub so much that they'll actually slow you down during cornering. It'll also look like a monster truck without it lowered. |
17x9 +35 5zigen FNO1R-C all 4 corners
Bridgestone Potenza RE-O1R 245/45/17 all 4 corners Tein S springs Tokico D specs -1.7 Front camber, -1.3 Rear Camber No spacers, no fender modification and no problems http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...4/DSCN0534.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...4/DSCN0536.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...DSCN0535-1.jpg |
Rims: 19x9 +40
Tires: Re01 235/35/19 Suspension: S-Techs Spacers: none Fender-wells: stock Problems: none |
Rims: SSR Comp 18X10.5 +43
Enkei RPF1 18X9.5 +45 Tires: Advan Neova 265-35-18 Nitto NT01 275-35-18 Suspension: KW V3 at about 25.75" ride height Spacers: Never :( Fender-wells: Stock Problems: None running about -2.0 camber in the rear and -2.6 Front Tons of room on the inner front, about 10 mm from tire to fender liner at lock...inner rear has about 10mm to body mount of strut |
Rims: 18x8.5 Gramlights 57F +45
Tires: RE01R 235/40/18 Suspension: MS sport springs and shocks Spacers: none Fender-wells: stock Problems: none I am thinking of adding 15mm spacers on all corners. From the research i did, it will just fit without rolling fenders, but very tight. I will find out when i have money for the spacer. |
Rims: rota grids 18x9.5 38 offset
Tires: federal 265/35/18 in the back 255/35/18 up front Suspension: stock Spacers: none yet Fender-wells: stock? Problems: the back center caps wont go on because that bolt thing in the center extends out too far which is why i might consider thin spacers. |
Rims: 18x8.5 +38 5zigen ProRacer GN+
Tires: RE960AS Pole Position 225/45/18 Suspension: espelir GT / Tokico D-specs Spacers: none Fender-wells: stock Problems: none Ride height: 13.25 all around might i suggest adding ride height (measured from center of wheel to the fender)? |
I have the most experience with the 17X10 +25 fitment issues so I'll indulge:
Rims: 5zigen Timeattack/Redline FN01r-C 17x10 +25 Tires: Nitto NT-01 245/45/17 and Nitto NT-05 255/40/17 Suspension: HKS Hipermax II Coil Overs Spacers: LOL! Fender-wells: Must be modified Pre. reqs.: This setup REQUIRES coil overs. Do yourself a favor and don't cheap out on them and use springs, you will rub A LOT regardless of what you do.. The only other option is racing springs, and I'm not talking lowering "racing" springs, I am talking custom ordered high spring rated springs on a modified aftermarket strut. Also the stiffer you make the car, i.e. strut bars, sway bars, roll bars, under braces, the better. Problems: Even at stock height it rubs... Bad. Lowering not possible without fender modification. When lowered at the degree mine is (pretty much "slammed") you need to do a few more modifications beyond rolling. Solution: Fenders MUST be rolled. This isn't even an option at stock height. The fronts don't have much of an issue until you slam the car at which point the side marker light mounting area digs into the tire. this must be shaved and new methods used to attach the side marker or grind the area including the screw back as much as possible. When turning th wheel comes in contact with the fender liner vents, it wont harm the tire (even the soft R compound tires I run) just let it rub itself a path. The rears are another issue. It will take some aggressive camber to get the wheels to fit even with the lip being rolled. Along with that the fender liner in the back half must be cut because of the angle it is molded into it is quite rigid and will rib back against the tire and bind so cut it till it is flat like the rest of the liner. If dumped the car will rub the UHMW bumper mounting pieces, this also must be shaved down to allow the tire to clear. The the piece will do no damage (other than rub/heat marks on the upper sidewall) to the tire due to how soft it is but it will constantly rub the tire and that is no bueno.. Conclusion: This setup will fill your wheel well better than nay other setup we have available without pulling your fenders. (ugly) But the lower you want to go, the more work that needs to be done to allow them to function properly. The work needed is well worth the benefits. |

Tires: Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 245/35/19 all round Suspension: Bilstein PSS9 coilovers on rediculously low, not sure on drop but at lowest recommended Spacers: I NEED 15mm spacers on the back and 10mm on front Fender-wells: Rolled but didnt need it Problems: None, zero, in fact i wish they made the wheel in a +35 offset but the only one with a 35 offset is the 5x120.... |

No modifications required Rolling required extensive fitting required Then under each category I will list everyone's setups by rim size. Thanks for everyone's help and please keep the info coming. Idea's are very welcomed. |
