Then I don't think that would fit.

You might rub. Since that wheel is gonna stick out at least another 1.5 inches.

Cool, that's what I was thinking too. I think I need an offset of +45 or higher.

Yep, 38 is too low. Definitely aim for around +45 and above. Rolling the fender helps a lot too.

45 to 48mm should be the lowests you should go.

not really the lowest i've seen on a 6 was 42 and i am personally running a 43 offset. of course your rear fenders would have to be rolled...

Now that you mentioned it, I now recall a 6 that has 18x7 Centerline wheels and those wheels are +42 offset. Not sure if the fenders are rolled (they probably are). Good catch.

42 is too low, besides you really need 235's on a ms6 instead of dinky 215 so 42 even with rolled fender is gonna be tough, stay at 48.

The factory offset in the Speed 6 is +55.

The factory wheels are 18x7.

From what I have read just about any 8" wide wheel will require a roll, even if it is high offset like +48. Even the RX-8 wheels are hit and miss. Some people say you need a roll and others don't.

Which is true...

I run a 18x8 RX8 wheel, 50MM offset...

Never had rubbing, even on the lowered car....

I'll have some AutoEXE "Low Down" springs on soon, we'll see if it rubs then...
