Details of modified 2011 Mazda RX-8

– Will the wheels 18x9.5 27 offset with P 255/40 R18 tires fit on a 2011 Mazda RX-8?

– Yes, they will fit. As you can see from the pics this 2011 Mazda RX-8 is running Enkei NT03+M 18x9.5 with 6.31” backspacing and Hankook Ventus V12 Pro P 255/40 R18 tires.

Currently lowered on Progress Technology springs and Koni Yellow shocks.

As expected, the 255/40/18 tires are tall, so there was some initial rubbing with the rear bumper tabs even while running -3 camber as well with some slight rubbing with the corner lights on the front with -2 camber (Aiming to go as close to -3 as possible on the fronts soon). Fenders are slightly pulled on the front and rolled while the rear fenders and bumper tabs are shaved; fender liners were also trimmed all around. At the moment, there are no issues anymore with the rears after shaving the tabs down while the front side-markers still occasionally rub when driven hard.

Definitions

Wheel Offset

Refers to how your car’s or truck’s wheels and tires are mounted and sit in the wheel wells.

– Zero wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in line with the centerline of the wheel.
– Positive wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in front (more toward the street side) of the centerline of the wheel. Most wheels on front-wheel drive cars and newer rear-drive vehicles have positive offset.
– Negative offset is when the hub mounting surface is behind the wheel centerline. “Deep dish” wheels are typically a negative offset.
