Spring Recommendation for MS3 w/19's

:
Mazdaspeed3, GT
Ok...so my friend is selling these wheels to me for a GREAT price. I'm just trying them on for now. These are the incorrect lugs, and are only hand-tightened. Volk SF-Winning 19x8 +42 offset w 235/35/19 tires. I like them a lot, but I think they stick out a little. I'm hoping that a major drop will make it look good. Please take a look at the pics and let me know if these'll look ok with a drop or if they are just too big for the car. I'm not too worried about rolling the fenders as long as the car looks good.

Also, I'm planning to drop my MS3 with some springs. Any recommendations on springs that will lower the MS3 the most? Sorry, but coilovers are not an option right now ($$$). I found a few others that are using Tein S Techs that are made for Mazda3's, would these be ok?

Thanks ahead for the advice!

Too WIDE!!! Check to see if it rubs?
You will sling all sorts of crap on the side of your car.

Nice wheels though.
 
They look great but I think you got problems even without dropping it with lower springs. You may soon hear tires smashing into fenders.
 
Bro, those wheels look exactly like the Axis Pentas i ordered. You got nice style! lol... They make them in 19" with the proper offset. The Axis do not need any special lugs or hub rings, so since the style you like are exactly what i order in hyperblack, i think you should go that route if you can take those back.


Axis Penta 19" 8.5 wide with proper offset

You will need to get the rear fenders rolled though. Might as well go 18" like i am. I ordered these in 18X8. You also get a manly lip!
