Title: question about rx7 and 8 standard rims
Post by: wee_blim on September 28, 2007, 08:42:53 PM

Just wondering if the rx8 wheels are wider (not sure what the proper terminology for width is in the offset, so didnt wanna say it and look stupid lol) than the rx7 wheels, I am looking for some nice wide wheels, ideally as wide as these:

I doubt the rx8 wheels will be this wide, but wanted to ask anyway, and also if anyone knows of wheels that are as wide as the above pic, then please let me know :)

Cheers

those look like 9.5j (9.5 inch from rim width - rim width is usually about 1/2 inch less than total wheel width) or even 10j wide dude.... rx8s are 8j wide

Rx8 wheels are not as wide as standard 16" rx7 wheels
