15X8 +15.... sure why not...

[JuanpaHR]

this is my first thread here so bare with me:

in my quest for wheels and how far i could go with the little Mazda; i came upon this thread and found inspiration on the guy that installed 15x8 +12 (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123834991-Did-I-get-in-over-my-head)
needless to say to each its own; the other cars on the wheel thread look perfect in their own right... with that said(written) I'm a sucker for wide wheels, I've always been like that so can't fix me being like that....

here is my damage
those where installed as of 15 minutes ago, tonight ill post before and after suspension drop (couldn't do it in the morning due to lack of space at the shop(bang); so ill do it tonight when the day dies down and i have a few beers in my system (drunk))


stock



xxr 15x8 +15 on 185/55




as you can see on stock suspension



(front)



they stick a little bit more than what im used to, but ill decide tonight, when i actually do the suspension work, if it needs a few degrees of camber and fender rolling

so far, no rubbing and no perceptible issues

They will look sweeeet when lowered, nice choice

 

[JuanpaHR]

well i installed the suspension

for reference
this is before


this is after (at the same parking spot for reference)


so far no rubbing anywhere
ergo, no fender rolling needed
ergo, no camber bolts needed (in my opinion- by looking personally)

and best off all you can do full lock of the steering wheel either way with no issues

so
15x8 +15 on 185/55's = perfect fit

What springs are you on?

 

[JuanpaHR]

sorry for my delay


the Springs came from a British company called Pi (personal identity)

yes name sounds tacky, however... ive used them in the past on other cars i have and have never had any issues of quality, performance or application

Need more pictures, and it looks great

I want for DD Enkei Compe 15x8" 25 offset, I will roll the fenders. I'm running P205/50R15 on my oem touring wheels and I hate the look.

Now I'm thinking of going for a set of Fatlace F/Zero2 15x8.5" 25+

I like the old school look going on some Mazda2 these days. I don't get some people with heavy 17"-18" wheels and tiny brakes. There's no need for big wheels unless for looks, but the brakes needs to be larger to look right with the larger wheel.
