soo my friend just let me test fit his front wheels on my rear...

and god damn i love it.....

18x10.5 +5 i think i could pull it off with some coil overs, camber, Awesome fender pull/roll, and some luck....

 

Sorry dude....that looks FAIL without a widebody kit.

Don't ruin a nice FD with those wide *** wheels, please.

 

Yeah, for the style you are going for, the 18 x 10.5 + 5s look good. Just do a mild pull on the fenders and lay it out.

Fronts need like something more conservative depending on width.

 

of course it looks Fail right now, because im on lowering springs and struts.. and the fenders are not rolled/pulled... thats why it says testing..

trust me... i wont ruin my fd... unlike most fd owners with ugly *** kits and sunkin wheels... and widebody would ruin the look i want..

thanks, you know what im aiming for... yea for the fronts, i was thinking about 18x10 +12? or something like that...

but yes, it would require fender pull/ roll, some negative camber..

i might plan on making a custom little flare for it. once i get coilovers.

 

+1 wide bodys look like ***, that thing would look sick with a set of coilovers and a sick little roll.

 

love em jaime!

 

thank you!!, for some reason i really dont like the wide body on fds... FC's on the other hand...

yea it was just a test fitment.. but my next wheels im getting the same specs for sure...

its gonna look great...


btw my car doesnt run yet...so im just trying to get ideas before i take her to paint..

so do i....

 

i know what your going for itll look clean

 

Its going to look sick when done!
What wheels are you going with?

 

thank you kind sir

yea, i hope soo haha...

as far as my exact wheel choice goes.. idk...

i stll have not decided if i want concave wheels, 5 spoke, mesh, and lip or not...


its tough lol, but i might wanna get some works like the ones i tested...

 

its just some people dont understand the aggressive fitment, im hoping to get some 18x10.5+22 on my rx8

 

Some 18 x 9 + 20 or 18 x 10 + 30~ would sit nice in the front.

I would almost go with an 18 x 10 or an 18 x 11 + 10~ offset rear with a lower offset just to make tire size selection easier. I tend to not like .5 sizes for aggressive fitment.

Roll, pull, stretched tire, and alignment needed to make it fit.

 

yea, but whatever.. to each there own .. ya know.. haha hell yea that would be siickk!!! what wheels you plan on getting.? and tire size as well..


well for the front i want some 17x10 +18

and rears im aiming for 17x10 +5 or maybe 17x11+8

but still dont know what wheels for sure i plan on getting next.. i guess what ever wheels offer those sizes...

 

should look awesome with the fender pulled/ rolled right........nice!!!

 

Id like to have a constructive conversation about what you like about such an "aggressive" look, without it turning into a **** storm. I will say that personally.. I think that looks terrible. I understand what it will look like lowered and with a pull, but.. maybe its just me.. but I just dont get it. I understand that sometimes we need to make a compromise between aesthetics and performance, but I think this hurts on both points. I like aggressive wheel fitments.. but to a point. Attached is what I believe is about a perfect setup on an FD. It fills the fenders nicely, allows for wide tires, looks as well as performs. I understand everyone has different tastes, and at the end of the day its your car and you can go whatever you like to it.. I just think it looks goofy

 

Niice pics of gorify's fd..

well said, and I clearly understand ya.. i know exactly what you are saying.. for me this is more of a asthetics look... i acutally plan on getting another set of wheels that have a bit more clearance for track/performance use.. but for the most part this car will be daily driven, so i just want my car to look aggressive as possible with out doing anything like wide body/gt wings etc,..

yes, wheel fitment like this does hurt its performance but like I said, its for asthetic purposes..

thanks for you thoughts on this.. i appriciate the thoughtfulness of your reply.

 

[QUOTE=zerox7;9636296]yea, but whatever.. to each there own .. ya know.. haha hell yea that would be siickk!!! what wheels you plan on getting.? and tire size as well..


im planning on some work 11r or xd9 no ones pulled those off on an rx8 yet, and just to change it up ill probably get em in a bright *** color, ill probably be running 265/30R18

 

Got to agree with rxmfn7. That's probably the nicest thing I can say about it so I'll leave it at that

 

RXMFN7, how did do a fender pull like that? That looks really nice! Please post a how to!

 

its not his car.. thats Gorify's car from the forum

 

What wheels are those in the picture that Rxmnf7 posted?

 

PM Gorify

 

Work Emotion XD9 in

Front: 18 x 10 + 38
Rear: 18 x 10 + 18

Color: Work Endurance Black. A glossy matte black.

I have a set coming in for another FD in the same color as well.

 

hmm, i dont know the look your going for but granted what u stated(fenders, coilovers..etc) i think that setup would tuck in nicely no sure about the offset in the front maybe a +22 through +36 would do the trick. but if you can fit yourself to some negative offset jeans anything is possible =). good luck meng!

 

Anyone know what rear diffuser that is? It's really nice...
