well iv got the choice between the 245 40 r18 bbs wheels, or the 225 40 r 18 rx8 wheels the fronr rx8 wheels need 5mm spacers but wil fit nice and snug - both bbs and rx8 wheels gonna be powdercoated white anyway the bbs wheels will need wider spacers i recon but iv got a hell of alot of them might even treat myself to some hubsentric ones.... anyway pics

The RX8 wheels look pretty good on the FC, but what are they going to be like on clearance when it\'s lowered ?

ouch, I think you need to roll those arches a bit, what suspension setup are you using?

Its on Kei Office coilovers. Very low and very stiff, with lots of preload.

Thing is I want to put spacers on as well! A bit of tyre stretch might solve it!!

The cabs looking good on rx8 wheels. I didnt think rx7s were big cars, but the mr2 alloys look TINY!
