    Will these fit my Mazda3? 17X8, +50m, 60.1mm hub

    Thank you. I'm thinking that might be too much of a hassle to do? How much do shops usually charge for this? I'm only considering these wheels because of the price, they are not amazing or anything. Otherwise, the wheels will fit without rubbing even though they are 17x8? Thanks again

    Will these fit my Mazda3? 17X8, +50m, 60.1mm hub

    Will these fit my car? They are 5x114.3, 17X8, +50 offset OEM Lexus wheels. My suspension is stock, possibly lower it in the future but not a priority right now. Quick google search said that hub bore is 60.1mm, is that a no-go? Found a set for dirt cheap.

    Trouble getting into reverse

    It cannot be the synchronizers because I do it while the car is stopped. Engaging the clutch doesn't affect the transmission much either if the car is stopped.

    Trouble getting into reverse

    Literally took me about 30 tries today to get into reverse gear, was about to put the car in neutral and push to get out of a parking spot. First time it was this bad. I'm taking the car to the dealership tomorrow.

    Anybody else having this problem? I have to go into first gear right before I put it into reverse otherwise it won't engage. Mine is 2.0L 5-speed, ~1900 miles...

    2010 clutch shudder

    Clutch shudder happens because the clutch is grabbing on to the flywheel too well rather than slipping. Not really an issue. I prefer it this way rather than having a softer clutch and having to replace it earlier.

    Help- City MPG dropped from 20 to 15

    I'm sure the dealership has already tried this, but you could jack up the car yourself and see if the wheels spin freely or not. Also maybe check for gas leaks when the fuel system is pressurized (while the car is running).

    Something I noticed about the fans/AC

    I have a 2010 5spd 2.0L Touring model. When I select the fans to blow through the upper vents, 100% of air goes through the upper vents, and likewise 100% of the air will go to my feet if I change it to the lower vents. The thing is, when I select it to blow through both the upper vents and...

    2010 Mazda 3s 6-speed 1st gear chatter

    I wouldn't be too worried but I would keep an eye on it. I don't know the specifics of an OEM clutch in a brand new car, but anytime you install a new clutch in a car there is definately a break-in period. Clutches are usually made of organic/semi-metallic stuff similar to brake pads. Usually...

    i might be interested. would u sell it for less with the stock wheels? do you have all the parts to turn it back to stock? and about the clutch/flywheel problem, does it slip just a little bit or does it completely not grab at all (is it something that needs to be fixed asap or is it just...
