New rims? How big/wide?

Hey guys,

I just got an 04 GT Manual and I'm using the factory 18's as my winter rims and I'm thinking about getting the 18" Motegi Touges for next summer.

How big can I go with a staggered setup, is 10" too wide for the rear? I really like the look of a deep dish rear drive rim.

And if anyone has any pic's of those rims on an RX-8 let me know and what sizes I should be looking at.



Thanks

Staggered is fine on this car if you like that look. Usually 8.5 in front and 10 in back is standard. You shouldnt have to roll lips with Racing Harts but not sure about other brands.

Good luck...

I would go at least +1 for you rims. 8.5 for the fronts and 9.5 for the rears. 10" wide would fit with the right offset.
