Rim/Tire suggestions?
I'm getting the 2009 EBM (Electric Blue Mica) RX-8 R3 in about a month or so and I've been looking at a few rims that I could get. I've pretty much got it down to two different ones but I'm also wondering if the specifications I am getting would work without having to make any extra modifications to the car and zero rubbing.
Here's what I'm looking at ... WORK Emotion XC-8 WMB F: 19x9 + 25 (235/30R19) R: 19x10 + 35 (235/35R19) OR WRK Gnosis GS2 MDB F: 19x9 + 25 (235/30R19) R: 19x10 + 35 (235/35R19) The thing I'm wondering is for a balance between looks and performance should I get staggered or should i get the same specifications for front and back? If I should get all the same would the one listed below be good? F/R: 19x9.5 + 35 (235/35R19) Oh and I'm guessing Electric Blue Mica is similar to Winning Blue? |
its aurora blue, not electric
|
Maybe it's called Electric Blue Mica because I'm from Canada? That's what it says on the mazda.ca site anyway.
|
Non staggered 19x9.5 +35 w/255 and a fender roll. This should be fine on a lowered and non lowered setup.
|
And 'nilla lives.....:suspect:
|
non staggered the way to go to keep performance
|

|

u'd better have the same width f&r
|
On stock suspension at full load the tire WILL grab the fender. You can probably get away with it if you run a slim 245 tire and stiff suspension.

19 x 9.5 + 35 with 255/35R19 with fender looks like my final choice. |
^:bigok:

Any idea as to where the best place to order them would be from? I've looked around a bit and prices do vary from site to site but I want to know which one is the most reliable.
|
to be honest - i always try our forum vendors before shopping elsewhere. Our vendors to pay in order to advertise on this forum so whenever possible, i give a little back.
That's just me tho :D: |

No idea what you are trying to say here.
Good size choice on those wheels/tires. Definitely dont get a 30 profile tire (I saw that in your list) |
