Rim Question!.!.!

[skinney86]

I am thinking of gettin a Drag Dr-31 rim that is 18 by 8 , would i be able to put my stock rubber on these rims safetly? Or should i just consider putting all seasons on them and using them as a winter tire?

I added the RX-8 wheels to my MS3, which are the same rim size (18x8) and the stock rubber works fine. It is a little stretched, and there is not any rim protection, but it rides great. Search for member Kain, he has some good pics of the stock rubber on the 8 inch wide rims, and it looks good IMO.
