245s on rx8 wheels

[Karma_hunden]

heard from a friend you can put 245s on a rx8 feels. Is this true?

245's will fit

Question is - will they fit UNDER the Speed6 . . . I am thinking "no"

yup. They're 8" wide wheels

Awesome. Is that good or a bad thing acceleration-wise? I have people saying ti will have grip hence more acceleration, others say it will have more grip but less acceleration. whos right?

i have 245's on my 8, and i feel the acceleration is about the same, the big difference is the extra grip you get when you go around a corner, which allows you to go through a corner much faster than a thinner tire.
