Robert wrote:Patrick, what are the tyre specs and have you adjusted the height of the car. I ask because I have set of the same rims , just waiting for the existing tyres to run low . Then i plan to put the rx8 rims and tyres on.


I'm running 225/40 x18 Continentals on my RX8 rims with no rubbing, Patricks car looks about the same ride height as mine. There's an MX5 on ebay running 245/35x18 but I reckon the lips would need rolling.
Back to having no money, damn my obsession.

I wonder if the dent in the front guard of the super low red NC is where the tyre caught and tried to flip him over!

So I put on some new wheels that id been rebuilding the past couple months when I had a few hours here and there :)

whilst I could go lower, I feel getting out of my garage and up the driveway will somewhat be an unpleasant experience :/

Looks great, set ride height for performance not looks - because race car.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
