It's not about the tire size, it's the Mazda wheel; it will be sunken in a lot.

Depends on the offset.

Dude, Google it. Put some effort into it, there's a bunch online I found in 3 seconds.

As for the RX8 wheels, +50 ofset you should run a spacer that's.... 50mm.

In other words, not worth it.

Jesus.

If you Google "SC300 G35 wheels" you'll get a bunch of pics of SC's on various G35 wheels. And if you're wondering why they are all lowered on springs or coilovers is simply because your car will NOT LOOK GOOD AT STOCK HEIGHT with 18's. Unless you dig the steamroller look.

OH HEY LOOK - I used the search function of this forum using "SC300 G35 wheels" and on the first page I found this:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...35-wheels.html

OH HEY LOOK #2 - Now I tried "SC300 RX8 wheels" and on the first page I also found this:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...eels-waaa.html

Ok? Unbunch the panties now, this thread is here to help you and guide you for wheel fitment - not to spoonfeed you.

You're so dramatic bro, chill. All he's saying is use the search and don't be lazy, you'll almost always find your answer faster than a reply anyway.

Im getting ready to order a set of ccw classics and would like some opinions on what sizes i should get. I have rolled fenders and can cut them if needed. I also have coilovers so the height can be adjusted accordingly (dont need to be slammed). I would like to avoid pulling the fenders. I wanted to know if its possible to have a set of 18x9.5 f and 18x11s in the rear. I would prefer to not stretch the tires much as i do plan on having a good amount of power. I want to run 235/40 f and 275/35 r. Im very open to suggestions.

I really like this look, but will not be as low.

I would suggest doing a +22 front and +35 rear with the set up you want. That will allow room for the wide tires ect.
