we just purchased a Mazda

[Accolade]

Hey we just purchased a mazda to make a full range of body kits for the car.

I do have some questions to ask from the mazda 3 owners.

1 ) Can you fit 18 inch wheels to this car, while it is lowered. Becuase our lancer scrapes a lot > If you can what type of tire size should we go for ?

2) What are best set of lowering springs for this car, I know that EIBACH has one. do you recomend it or do you have any other options. This should with a 18 inch wheel setup.

3 ) Also this will be featured on our web as our show car, What type of wheel design would you think would be the best, we thought of OZ Superleggra 18 "

Just let us know.

thank you very much

haven't tried the springs yet, but i do have 18"s on with 215/45 tires, no problem at all so far. I would get the coil over myself instead the springs, cos spring drop is like 1.2" or so, not enough. (bike)

18's fit no problem with my drop. But if i hit even a rock goodbye fender. and that is just because I had a 35mm offset which is pretty large. with 225/40/18. with my drop and a 45mm offset it would be perfect, and turning with the combination we tried cleared perfectly. it just stuck out too far cuz the offset so i couldnt drive it or i would hit hard.
