welp i just did a test fit with them... they came with brand new 225 50 r16 tires on them so i am hoping to keep them on. I tried the wheels on with a 3mm spacer all the way around. The back fender sits literally on the tire but it has a very aggresive look. I will have to raise the rear about an inch inorder for everything to fit right. The fronts will have to be raised just a lil bit more and i might need to try a lil bit thicker spacer. The dang tire is rubbing on the ksports and thats no bueno... Ive tried messing with the camber some but im gonna try to mess with it some more later this week when i raise the car... im going to try and keep it slammed though... pics to come

I'm seriously considering some sort of dark center and a polished lip.

put my new shoes on finally wrapped in 215-40-16 yokahama s-drives
late to the party, had these on since may. reinforced version. 3mm spacers all around, 215/50/16 dunlop direzza dz101. rolled rear fenders flat, lowered on h&r's and illuminas. edge of tread rubs on rear bumper over big dips with a loaded car, never hits the fender. lots of room all around up front.
i need some better pics for sure.

Finally about to get my P5 up and running. Finished painting my FD wheels in Bronze and will get tires mounted soon. Looking at Falken Ziex ZE-912's in 205/45 16's for them. P5 will be a daily so it will not see any track/AutoX anytime soon. Plus I like the stretch with Falken Tires and I want it low. Installed a new set of Stagg Struts with Tein S-Tech Spings with all new hardware. Have 8mm Spacers in the rear and 6mm up front. Will be finishing off the center cap Mazda symbol in Red to match the P5's color. I am also considering in pin striping red the outer rim area as well. Here are some pics of the wheels.
