wheels are sold

235/40/18. They look really close to the fender because of the picture angle I think. I'm standing on an island in a parking lot so the car is slightly below me. Anyway, I think the drop is perfect and I don't expect to rub unless I do rear camber arms.

Stock tire size on MS3 is 215-45-18.

Yep, they're H&R with stock stuts/shocks. The stockers are still working, but are definately worn. Will replace with Koni sports soon I think.

Oh, and my car dropped nearly 2 inches all the way around when i put the H&R springs on. And that business about trashing the axles is bulls***. That's the dealer trying to get your money.

I just installed H&R springs on my 2008 MS3 and had all kinds of vibration and whacky crap going on. Got under there today and found 1 of my rear swap bar endlinks loose and both of the tophats on my rear springs were on crooked because they apparently snagged the middle bolt when I was...

Yeah, the whole springs causing bad bearings things sounds to me like the stealership feeding you a line to get your money. I went in for an oil change once and was told I should let them do an alignment for 60 bones and when I told them no, the guy said that was fine but just so I know Mazda...

Just use the tire/wheel conversion calculator to figure out the correct tire size you need to get you as close to stock as possible. Then buy my wheels!

How exactly would springs destroy axle bearings? How many miles does your car have on it? What kind of symptoms were you having or did they just tell you your bearings were bad when you took it in for an oil change or something?

Tires were trashed. Sorry. Wheels are still for sale though.

Fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

bump. wheels are still for sale.

Selling my 2008 MS3 wheels with center caps and lug nutz. No tires and no tpms. Wheels have about 20K miles on them with no curb rash. A few very minor rock chips from normal use, but the wheels are in very good condition. Looking to get $400.00 shipped. Thanks for looking.
