same wheel sizes 19" but diffrent widths, with a 35mm off set the wheel gets pushed in more to make up the .50"-1.00" of width diffrence so 19 by 7.5 in from to a 19 by 8.5 in the rear with a 35 mm off set and a 40 mm offset for the front should work in theory
of course i could have all of it backwords !! LOL i will mostly likely end up with 19+8.0 wheels with a 45-48 mm offset all the way around, i had 18+8.0 im my prevouse svx and my wrx has 18"8.0 wheels on it and much room to spare, the svx its pushing it, Quote:

Don't Forget...
UNSPRUNG WEIGHT. The bigger the wheel's diameter the heavier it's likely to be. That'll effect acceleration and ride.
Still awaiting a definitive response from one of the resident wizards, (Harv, where are you?) re: Staggered wheels on an AWD SVX. I've never seen it done on an SVX or any other high performance AWD. Audi road raced their AWDs and I remember them having the same wheel/tire combo all around. WGJ |

skyline and a few other AWD cars use staggered offset wheels on there AWD and of course the bigger the diameter the more it affects performance,
i always run my factory 16s with some meaty rubber at the track Quote:

I've really been researching wheels on here, but still don't know if this size will work.
Do you think that a 17x8 with a 40mm offset will work? I found an offset calculator that shows that if the stock wheel is 7.5" wide with a 55mm offset, an 8" wide wheel with a 40mm offset would be pushed out by 21mm or .8". So what do you guys think? |

It looks like I have that much room. 8/10ths of an inch isn't much. But it's one of those things that you won't know till you get them on the car under load. I was just wondering if anyone has this setup already.

I have 18" Axis Se7ens with 255-50-18" Pirelli P-Zero Systems on my SVX and have never had any promlems, but I wouldnt go any bigger then 18". My tires are thin enough now, I couldnt imagine hitting a pot hole rollin on a set of 20s. I noticed a big drop in exceleration but could care less cuse they look so Damn good. They fill the wheel wells perfectly I think. I got comments all the time that my car is lowered, but its not.

What about the rx-8 rims, those rims look sick on the cloud. Do they need any centering rings or spacers anything of the sort? Or thye just bolt up?
Ps: oops just found a thread. The wonderful search button does work: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...light=rx8+rims |
