2004 Mazda RX-8

2004 Mazda RX-8 wheel fitment at a glance

This 2004 Mazda RX-8 is running SSR Wheels MS1, staggered: 18x10 +6 up front and 18x10.5 +5 in the rear, wrapped in 235/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear Falken Azenis RT615K+ tires.

It sits on stock suspension with a flush stance, meaning the wheel face lines up with the fender.

If you are searching for Mazda RX-8 wheel fitment, SSR Wheels MS1 on a Mazda RX-8, 18x10 +6 wheels on a RX-8, or what tire size goes with that setup, this build is a real-world answer, photographed and measured by the owner.

SSR Wheels MS1 18x10 +6 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 10 inches wide with a +6 offset up front, and 18-inch by 10.5 inches at +5 in the rear, in the 4x100 bolt pattern the Mazda RX-8 uses.

A +6 offset on a 10-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a very aggressive position at or past the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +5 offset on the 10.5-inch wheel pushes the rear out further for the staggered look.

SSR Wheels MS1 18x10 +6 on a Mazda RX-8 is a common RX-8 question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

235/40R18 / 265/35R18 tires on 18x10 wheels

The tire size is 235/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear: a 235 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a stretched fit (the tire is narrower than the wheel, which pulls the sidewall in and helps clear the fender).

The owner chose Falken Azenis RT615K+. We stock Lexani LXUHP-207 235/40R18 at $86 each in this size, and other 235/40R18 tires through the 235/40R18 tire search.

Searching for 235/40R18 tires on a Mazda RX-8, or the right tire size for 18x10 +6 wheels? This is one owner's proven combination, and every wheel and tire package we sell ships mounted, balanced and ready to bolt on.

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.
