    So, I had an accident today...

    I have to reply. So the guy who was driving along a road and didnt have a stop sign was supposed to slow down or stop because you decided to cross the intersection. Last time i checked the person crossing wasnt supposed to cross if they couldnt do this safely. Obviously this was his fault...

    07-09 vs 2010 MS3 brakes/rims?

    Yes, i entered in the tire #s, and the wheel #s. the 16 inch wheel and tire are 47 mm larger in circumference. After reading the other post, i guess when he says wheel, he meant wheel and tire. my math came out to be the mileage listed will be 117 miles less than actual. This isnt a big...

    Thanks for pointing out the above link. It is really good. One thing, i put in the numbers and the smaller wheel is saying the mileage will be less, not more. Going down to a 16 from 18, it says speedometer will read 60, but actual speed is 61.4.

    This might be a stupid question, but everyone here seems to know what they are talking about so i figured id ask. Does going to a smaller wheel affect your speedometer or the # of miles? I didnt think it did, but a friend said he thought it did.

    i was going to go down to 7 inch wide wheels. Guess if i do that i better get an offset REALLY close to 52.

    I just contacted local mazda dealer and they looked up the caliper information for 2010 and it is the same as the 09.

    Actually, the 2010 has 12.6 on the fronts. the rear is smaller, but i dont recall the exact size.

    So i guess the only thing that needs answered is the caliper.

    I believe the person who stated the wheels are different was wrong. 2010 has same size rotors, same calipers, and wheel specs are the same. Most 16s should fit. Just order a 16 inch from Tire Rack, that way will know it fits.
