What's up TM3!
I'm looking into buying my Spring/Summer setup a little early this year so I can use my stock 16" rims for the winter. So I'm wondering if anyone has or knows anyone that is selling a set of RX8 rims. Help a brother out ;)
Also, it's my first time buying a set of additional rims, so what is the recommended size for these wheels if I want a little stretch and poke?
Thanks guys! :headbang
Sorry, I meant what is the recommended tire size**
Thanks!
Recommended tire size for these rims are 225/40/18 if your lowered. If not, then 225/45/18 is also fine.
Will the 225/45/18 tire rub on a lowered suspension with the RX-8. I just bought the rims yesterday and still looking at some tire options.Quote:

Thanks guys! Also do you think I could use the same wheel spacer for my OEM 16"s and the rx8's?
Yes you could.
45 series will throw off your speedo vs. 40 which is the "recommended" profile for 18's.

also i will have rx8's (rims only) up for sale soon, but they will need to be powder coated! if its something you are interested in let me know :)
i have a set as well, 2 wheels are in great shape & 2 wheels have curb rash - can easily repair and touch up the paint, or send the set out for power coating
