Suspension, stance and clearance

This Mazda RX-8 is on stock suspension, so the ride height is factory and the fitment you see here works without lowering the car.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Mazda RX-8 comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
