245/45/17 on MS3

Im about to order my wheels. Since people have been happy with the 18x8 RX8 wheels, i think im going to get my wheels in 18X8... what offset should i go with, +48? eventually ill slap 235's on there.

48 or higher should work well, 50-53 range is ideal.

Yes... +48 will be perfect and I know it's hard to find aftermarket wheels in the 50+ offsets.

Good luck
Carlos

Luckily thread jacking isn't much of my crime in my book, haha. This thread is becoming pretty useful to me. Thanks for all the information guys.

Sorry, didn't mean to...but I figured it was the best place to ask and build up the info.

I was comparing my stock MS3 wheels/tires with the RX8s and man, the stockers are tiny!!!

You guys are right, the MS3 should have been equipped with at least 225 if not 235 all the way around.

Does anyone know if there is a big change in alignment setup between the stock wheels/tire combo and lets say a 235/40/18 18x8 wheel/tire combo?

I only use the RX8 wheels to race with, then I go back to the stockers for daily driving...but I was just wondering if there was a significant difference in alignment settings with the wider wheel/tire.
