YES, you can fit 18x9.5s all four corners with 275s

Post by Brian »

Staggard sizing for RX8s is popular...but worthless from a handling perspective and unnecessary. Here is all four corners with 17.2 pound 18x9.5 Enkei RP-F1 rims loaded up with new Falken 615RT in the 275 wide size at all four corners! See full review in MazdaSport Magazine soon.

Here is a comparison between the SSRs coming off with 245s and the Enkei going on with 275s. Sorry, no factory wheels with factory 225s left here to line up for the shot.

Thanks. I have the complete Mazdaspeed setup. Think I will have any fitament issues? I really like the look of those rims and rubber. What's the lead time on (4) rims?
