nice looking car bro........ are those the wheels that you told me were 18x8 with +38mm offset, and you had to roll the fenders to keep them from rubbing?

(2thumbs) sweet car

and DAMN IT..... someone beat me too it, I was looking at my car the other day wondering what it would look like to put the mazdaspeed up where the M is... so it's more "noticeable" lol

Good job, it actually looks good.
 
yup those are the rims. and that have been on the car for a while now and no rubbing what so ever with 225 tires on a 8" wide rim and +38 offset. I'm pretty sure there is still enough room for 235s

Car looks awesome man. Makes me miss mine even more. When I get back we need to set up a MO mazda meet up, I want to see your car in person.

So wait you get no rubbing? Your fenders are rolled though, right? Just making sure I understand everything

I'm trying to figure out if i roll the fenders will i be ok with 1/2 inch wider rim and a -3mm smaller offset than yours? Cause the wheels I pretty much want are 18x8.5 with a +35mm offset, I'm wondering if I can run those wheels with just a fender roll, or would the rear wheel wells have to be pulled a little bit.

How much of a drop have you acheived with your springs?
 
my fenders are rolled where they are flat against it. you will most likely rub with that setup. the most i would go would be this setup with a 235 tire. i'm sure if i dropped the offset i could go with a wider tire. i'm going to play around with some setups in the summer. I'm going to try to see if i can get a 245 stuff in their...that's the goal anyways.

damn it... I really want these wheels, but seems like i'm gonna have to stick with 8 as the widest... at least unless i can get a high offset like over +45mm in order to run wider... I bet if you found some +50mm wheels you'd be able to slap a 245 on there.


the reason i asked about your fenders and wheel well is I was reading on the mazda6 club and a guy with a regular mazda6 has 18x8 and +38mm ASA wheels and he had to have the wheel well pulled a little so he wouldn't rub.

how about the front? do you rub when you turn or anything of the sort?

Thanks man, your car is clean (2thumbs)

no rubbing anywhere

damn, do you know any places i can go to have them mount a 18x8.5 +35 offset to see if it rubs (going to have my fenders and my girls 6s fenders rolled next week, just in case)

friend of mine told me "rent n roll" to see if they would mount one up for me, if they have one in similar size.
 
there is a guy at mazda 6 club that has 18x9 with a +45 offset his name is WRC2. Thats the sickest mazdaspeed 6 i've ever seen.

do you happen to know his username over there so I can do a search and look for some pics, and send him a PM in regards to what he had to do to get that setup?
