Let's see some Mazda3 5-doors

I had to put towels under my tool tray in the back because it jumps up and down on bumps in the road.

Also...

Tried that and still noise! Also, I love the pic with the charger police car in the back.

Chef, whats the biggest spacer you can put on the stock threads? I have a 8mm in the front and I believe 10mm in the back as of now.

 

[Chefsp0t]

You should be getting at least 8 full turns of your lug nuts to be considered safe to drive on. I am just getting that with 5mm spacers up front. An 8 is probably okay but I would be worried about a 10 not leaving enough threads for the nuts.

 

[xMazdax]

hmm should i take the back ones off then? the wheel felt pretty tight. I double checked them too.

 

[xMazdax]

Rode with the spacers on. Hit a couple of bumps. they seem to be fine. Im not 100% sure that they are 8mm. The ones in the front I got from a tire shop said they are 8mm. Dad comes home with "8mm" spacer the same day and those are 2x bigger than the ones I bought... The smaller ones are on the front and the bigger ones are on the back.

 

[Chefsp0t]

A 5mm spacer is pretty small. Do yourself a favor and count how many turns you have on the lug nuts though. That's the part that matters.

Alright will do , thanks!

ive been wanting to part and sell for the past 6 months, then i drive it to work and back home and cant bring myself to do it hahahahaha

Pretty much the same here. I actually took some parts off already. I might put some of them back.

I think I may have realized what the correct solution to this problem is. Just buy another car and keep this one too. :lol:

thats kinda what i concluded with... keep this one and then buy another car that can be a project/fun car and keep the little mazda as the happy go lucky daily driver hahaha

 

[xsists]

I wanna ditch the 3 and buy a truck so I can get a bigger boat. Not happening though. Will miss the autox with the 3..

 

[BPboiler3]
