Needs to move seven people/kids in a roomy & 'luxury' vehicle? I'll just leave these here...;)

Slightly jealous as I could never compete with the amount of, insert current word, cool-azz/sick Mazdas being built or modded as well as were shown on the daily. I did a lot of screen grabs back then to admire those MOTM winners but lost them when my old Win7 PC died.

I infrequently visit the forums and just saw this post. Your best bet is to read up in the multiple build threads like 323's and Bonks or use the search function: =1&c[nodes][0]=193&c[title_only]=1&o=relevance']MSP build thread search I'm far and away not the subject matter expert for anything...

Quite a few of us Protege 'cult' owners respect each others space even if we've never even met ;)

Found and attached for posterity.

5x114.3 Hubcentric Wheel Spacers (67.1mm Bore) is the size you will need for OEM suspension.

02 u-nuts, 02 M6x1.0 bolts, 02 scrivets and yes, the 3m dbl sided tape. I have the installation instructions somewhere and can post here if needed.

My .02 Telematics is a problematic issue especially when the uses of that data and its ownership are undefined. The security and collection of the data used by the Internet of Things (IOT) connectivity, that have become standard in most everyday devices, does leave a lot to be desired (IMO) but...

Blasphemous they didn't have an MSP in the museum 😒

I still rock my Mazdas 24/7 black t-shirt on occasion but it seems the damn 'dryer' has shrunk it and it fits like a muscle T now...😐

Joined because I had never owned a turbo car before and been lurking for over 15 years. I learned tons from just reading and staying out of the fray the MSP boards could be when some of the myriad personalities would flex and the flaming was flinging everywhere! Reality TV via Mazdas 24/7 forums...

Oil change, changed out spark plugs, clean/oiled K&N air filter and got the spacer fitment issue resolved.

Got the rear spacers machined to proper size and mounted. Rear view and did note that excess weight in the back may require fender rolling. Thanks for all the input/replies.

Yep, installed extended lugs when I first went with the Ichiba 10mm spacers. I installed the 12mm spacers (with no issue of fitment) on the front rotors/hubs and was able to get 9-10 turns on tightening before applying the torque wrench.

Stopped in a engine shop that does machining and the owner listened as I explained the problem. He measured the new spacer and old spacer hub-centric ring I provided and cautioned against modifying the new spacer until I had thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned the rear hubs. They were kinda crusty...
