It also depends on the tires your about to put, size does matter .

Stretch FTW. Im the guy who isnt afraid to run a 195 on an 9" rim. I havent seen anybody in the 5 forum runnin much stretch if any. 225 on everything Ive seen...

Man, I hope you have direct deposit into a separate account just for replacing rubber. I've heard the camber on the rears is only multiplied with wide tires. Prepare for ludicrous inside tire wear, and with 8" up front & 9" rears, every rotation means paying mount/dismount labor and rebalance fees, since a direct rotation is not possible. And since the wear is inside, side-to-side swap rotations do nothing to stop the wear.

That would be true for most people. I know lots of "the right people" and get auto service either for free or at extreme discounts. I'm a general manager for Papa Johns and you'd be amazed what giving some local garages free pizza will get you. Plus I been modding cars for years so i know a lot of people from that.

Well give us a review of the D2s when you get them in. I dont know of any one that has them so it would be nice.

Just got home from picking up the new whip. Its raining here so now Work test fit. Hopefully getting over to test fit the rims in question tomorrow morning... THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!! Couldnt be more happy with my purchase. (unless I coulda got white with bluetooth and a moonroof in a Sport. Oh well)

"hard time" and "not possible" are two totally different things.... lol. Im used to having a "hard time" getting a certain stance to work. Rolling lips, pulling fenders, and dialing in camber are all things Im used to. I have zero fear tearing into a new car in any way necessary...

the mazda5 guys here are scared to try what hasnt been done, get used to it.. i told em a 9.5 WILL fit.. and a lot will tell me bulls***.. yet i did it already, its just a bit too agressive for a daily..

38+ gives u about 3-4mm out beyond the fender on the 08+... the rears on the older model may be able to pull this due to the heavy negative, however the 08+ has only mild neg. camber... so you will have some poke..

pm me if u want more details..

Dude flaked on the test fit this morning which kinda pissed me off so I took the 5 down to my local speed shop who I do some marketing work for to show off the new ride. Made my appointment for tint, let them know they were installing my coilovers, and asked the fabricator there about a custom exhaust system. Test fit rescheduled for Sunday morning...

What happened????(toetap)

 

[8.5x11]

I'm buying a house this week is what happened. Had to put all large purchases on hold until after settlement on Friday. Stupid banking mortgage rules are slowing down my mod process. Once I get through settlement its game on... stay tuned. I got plans. Lol.
