I missed my chance on the local RX8 wheels, and they look so good. :'( What size tires, they look a bit small.

^whoops. Sorry Roy, I deleted my post and moved it to the "what have you done to your P5 today" thread. The tires look smaller in the pic. My camera just caught the sidewall where it was shiny. They are 205/45/16. I wished they made them in 215/45/16. Boooo!

The tokico/espelirs were a smoother ride, but the BC's handle like a mo'fo'. They are stiffer and you can tell, but I LOVE them.

I upgraded tires too. The Bridgestone RE760's are the BEST tires I've had. They don't tram and they fixed the pull I had to the right. I apparently had a bad Yokohama on before. I had them balanced multiple times and was told "that's all we can do".

Sounds good I was actually really surprised with the ride after putting them off. I was expecting something really stiff. I just bought new tires and rims for the car and I got the Yokohama's >_<

It will probably rub because of the tires, but it will fit. Just need fender roll i guess.
but dont go with 18inch wheels. Please. Dont. seriously.

go with a 17x7.5 +35.

Some 18 look good. I really like scratch cars but its not always looking good.

yea goin to need some fender rolling to get those not to rub
205/40 is smaller, so it wont rub
