I am soon to come into a large amount of money and am looking for some nice wheels for my 8. The wheels I like are the Work Emotion CR KAI's.

I do not know anything about the wheel sizes or what I should choose.

I like the way rx 8speciale's wheels look in his thread here (further out than stock):

Could someone point me in the right direction? Is 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 back a good size?


For the 18x8.5 the offset options are +43, +38, +37, +32, +30, and +25.
And for the 18x9.5 my offset options are +38, +30, +20, or +12.

The PCB on both is 5x114.3 but with the 18x8.5 I have the option of 5x100.

I honestly have attempted to look up what these mean and I somewhat get it but not really. I want these to look good and I don't want to mess up my measurements so if anyone could offer some advice/help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You're going to want 5x114.3 for the rx8.


About offset, have you checked the "will it fit" thread?

Lots of posts on your wheel size and offset. That wheel is very popular as well...see this thread.

You have to take into account tire size and if you are lowered.

 

Any update? What wheels you decided to choose? Post pics when installed.
