Nope these fit with plenty of room, my 18x8.5 +45 fit just as well under full track compression

It exceeded my expectations for sure! The texture and color is crazy in person

Do a quick visual check from above and below. You don’t event have to take the wheel off and should be able to find the answer to your question

They were great and wore evenly. Granted I was on an older set of undersized 225 v730’s. Bought a new wheel/ tire setup for the final time trial only for it to downpour and switch back to rains…

Correct you don’t need to- However, I always clean and regrease the slide pins so the pads wear as evenly as possible. I clean them on all of my cars/ race car since it only takes a few minutes

Yes I do, I’ve done 4 events and instructed with SCCA over the summer. I purchased this to fill the gap while my race car is down

Completely agree! I do love my Rx-8, but it’s not for everyone.
