RX8 wheels

[Jasoncoed]

HI, ive just bought a set of rx8 rims to go on my rx7 (fd), what would be the best tyre size to put onto these wheels (they are 18").

thanks

Ok what size are the standard tyres on the rx8.

Standards are 225/45/18.  I used to have a set for my 7 but I can\'t remember what size tyres I put on.  As the RX8 rims are 8" wide, the widest you can get away with is 245.  To keep the rolling radius roughly the same as the original for the 7, I would go for either 245/35/18 (£140 each for eagle F1\'s) or 235/40/18 (£116 a piece for Eagle F1\'s).  I think I went for the 235/40/18\'s all round.

Mark.

How well do they fill the arches on the FD especially the rear.
