The 17x7.5 is not really going to be all the flush I need a spacer I would think

 

[Circuit]

Lowered it more, more camber, adjusted the rear link kit, and got an alignment ... I am seeing 205/40's in my future in the next couple months....

There was a stock (maybe on springs?) P5 at the shop where I got my alignment... so I took a comparison pic

Ok so to run my wheels i need at least -3 camber and a fender roll. What coilovers can deliver that camber with a good slamm. Also having the car suspension set up that way will it mess up any other suspension components or thats what the coilovers are for?

BC's will get you very low

quick question guys, whats the maximum wheel spacer i could use on the RH without getting extended studs...6mm? Reason Im asking is bc i wanna push racing harts closer to fender to satisfy my needs until i can get my rims i want 17x8.25 +35... Also where would be a good place to get them, i know i want hubcentric spacers..

EDIT: just saw hubcentric has spacers with studs included... now my question becomes could I do 8mm Rear and 10mm Front

Hubcentric just means the hub hole in the spacer matches our cars (67.1mm). I ran 8mm for a while on stock studs, but I wouldn't recommend it for DD. 6mm on the RH isn't going to make that much of a difference - if you really want it to be noticeable, go 20mm with the studs pressed in (check out akataspacer on ebay).

Or if you want to stick with basic 6-8mm then buy them here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123787337-Hub-Centric-Wheel-Spacers

20mm F/R would work without fenders being rolled

Depends on tires.... but you might as well roll your fenders now since you will need it when you get those 17x8.25's

there stock size right now 215/45/17...was planning on it sometime, just need to come up with the money for EP to do them... would you also recommend a small pull also

Not needed for that size/offset. Just roll flat, 205/40's, and 2-3 degrees of camber

this might be a noob question with spacers, but how would you secure the spacers to the actual hub on car if those studs are just going into the spacer with no lug nuts? are the pressed ones that are in the spacers the ones you tighten everything down on to secure it?

Use the nuts supplied with the spacers to bolt them to the stock studs (make sure to torque them down just as you would your wheels). Then bolt the wheels to the new studs from the spacer.

Dirty car is dirty... really happy with my rear fitment though... can't wait to get 205/40's so I can actually drive it at this height without destroying a fender in the front LOL...

 

[2003.5_MSP]

that is awesome fitment right there... makes me change my mind about not wanting to be extremely low

 

[Circuit]

Yeah once I go smaller tires, I'm either going to remove some camber in the rear or push the AAC links out more LOL

IIRC dont link kit push lower portion of wheels out to gain more clearnce at top for more low? If thats the case PUSH OUT lol

Pushing the links out pushes the entire hub out more. With the added clearance of the smaller tires, I can push the wheels out a couple mm

Sounds like a plan

 

[Protegempthree]

With the bc coilovers can i fully adjust camber? Or will i need to buy something else?
