    Yea that was a concern i had..
    i did ask the guy and he said a +35 offset rim would clear it..
    i dont know if he's trustworthy or just want the business..!!
    i might get the ap's first then and some spacers to make it clear the rx-8 rims..

    until a frd came pass and said it looks S**T..!!
    ' it looks like some infection is growin on it..!! '
    so i sanded it back down then got plastic putty to remould and shape it.. leave it to dry and repeat the sand, putty, moulding and shapin stage until it looked acceptable.. (it took me abt 5-6 goes before it look ok) waited for it to dry again then sanded it down till it was smooth and spray painted it..
    sounds abit confusing aye..!!
    excuse the rough explaination pm me if ur interested to try it urself..

    Cheers

    Hahhahah was intending to do it to when I find the time. Difference is after plugging up the hole, sand it down and then cover it with dry carbon vinyl so that it doesnt need to be so perfect. Just need to find a spare one first so that I have the option to revert to normal in the future.

    Would like to know how you plastic welded the hole up and more close up pics please.

    Depends on design. Mine already cleared with space to spare on my old +42 7.5 inch rim. Even more space on my current 8.5 +45 rim. But my BBK is a small 4 piston caliper. AusAccord also had to install spacers for his BBK although he's got the same spec rims because of the rim design. The RX8 rims is 7.5 +50?

    Do you really need a 6pot? 4 pot is more than enough for everyday driving. Can save some $$.

    Aus, you need to change your signature to "Need a Genuine Mugen Bodykit?"

    Andy my frd is shoppin around for me in HK..
    so i dont know where he'll end up getting it..!!
    but i originally saw the kit at SuperGT HK.. but when my frd went to get it for me
    he said apart from the calipers everything else is DTM..!!
    So didnt buy it now hes gettin a quote from AP Racing distributor in HK..
    He's got his from them and it was same or similar price as SuperGT except the whole kit is made by AP..!!
