Aggressive fitment anyone?!

[Mazdaspeed2oo35]

I think if it were my car, and I was putting down the power you are... I wouldn't cheap out on wheels spacers. granted, I'm against wheel spacers at your power level at all on general safety principles.

who knows what grade hardware is on those ebay spacers... the bolts might just sheer right off. maybe not right away, but who knows...

Haha. Never said i was going to buy it right of way. It was just an expression you know.... I never cheap on on things when i can... first i need to find out how thick i need them then i will decide from where to source them.. The ones posted by N2k are Extreme Sick, but i ain't ready for them yet anyways !!!!

I vote since you want new wheels anyway, you get some that are already the offset you're looking for when you're ready. forget the spacers all together.

+1, this is the best route, for sure.

Nice, where did you got those Spacers, how thick are they ? they are dope... Can you share with us with link and price, im interested in adding these to my RX-8 wheels to make them flusher to my fenders..

I still think you can bring the front wheels even flusher or closer to the fenders..

the spacers are more of a test run and i got them from a buddy who had a few sets lying around. the fronts are 20 mil and the rears are 15 mil. i don't have the rears on because i need shorter studs to clear the spacer. as for the price, if you have to pay retail, pricey for sure. worth it tho if you are going to run them for a long time and don't want to worry about them failing. there's a good chance that mine will up for sale as soon as i get the new wheels all set up.

so on that note i agree that the wheels can come out more. this is why i will be upping the rim width and offset on a new set of te37's. i bought a used pair of 18x8.5 +22 that should have arrived over the weekend but didn't i'll have to wait to test fit

agree, spacers are a bit hacky but really help to get the look across. i'll be moving away from spacers and replacing the wheels i have with a more aggressive offset. wheels will most likely be finished the same.

What tire width are you going with? I'm not concerned about having it super flush I just want to be able to run wider tires. The sidwall would be no larger than 35's though. Do you think you could run 225 or 235's with the spacers?

Ok so got some other spacers off craigslist today. They allowed me to fit my 17's with out needing to cut the lugs. Final offset came to +19 in the rear and +22 in the front. Im pretty damn happy with this set up. Although Seattle roads are not treating my fenders very well

 

[Outlawstar98]

You need more negative camber. lol

 

[BadBandar]

Man! +22 and +19. The rear looks weird to me. I would prefer them to be more flush. Ur tires will hate u forever. haha. Looks good still.

You just need to stretch smaller tires on there and you will be good to go

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

[Protege03ak46]

Im not getting new tires. I just paid 600 for these this past December. Not doing that again. I have no clue how to get more camber. If someone wants to post up a solution. Please do.

 

[TWISFM]

[TWISFM]

edit..doesnt look like much camber? how much do you have protege56k..?

 

[Protege03ak46]

You can just call me Adam, and I do have camber bolts in the rear. I dont know If there installed right tho. Do they go in the top, or bottom hole?

 

[TWISFM]

top...you can also hollow out the holes alil...oval them...thats how you can get camber out of the bc's in the rear...they come stock like that
