hey Chase,
don't sweat it bro, we'll help you figure it out. Show up to Dozer's the next time we're hanging out there and we'll help you figure out not only what to get but probably even who to get it from without getting raped on the price.

guess it just depends on how hard you drive the car and what area you live in.
I'm starting to think it either happened on that canyon run Mazdamaniac and I took in Las Vegas when it was 118°F outside or when that crazy guy subjected my car to 9 back to back dyno pulls!
(I remember seeing my oil temp gauge reading 242°F )

yes...even then tires wont be cheap...but you will still have enough meat on them to get a good ride..and 19"s look sick'

What wheels did you have in mind?

20's will look good if you go with a name brand wheel .... or at least something that flows with the 8. People say you will sacrifice comfort and ride of the 8 but it stays just as smooth. If you dont plan to track your 8 , I dont see any problem in putting 20's and no you dont have to modify anything. Im on 20x8.5 & 225/35 tires and I dont rub at all.

EDIT: 19" tires would cost you more than 20" tires would in some cases.
you dont wanna look back and think 19's were too small and that you should have went with 20's ... thats just IMHO... I started with the wrong set of 20"s you can say but my future set of wheels will also be 20's but obviously with better taste its what you call "BALLER" or "VIP"
