The Moderately Low (Not Slammed) and Functional Thread

[MonchieM3S]

Just curious. Is the wheel/tire flush with the outermost part of the fender/Quarter panel? I am doing quite a bit of wheel research and this info would help me get the look I am after. Thanks. Btw next time you post ***** maybe take a shot down the side of the car that would help me a bunch. Also I like the look of your car a lot. Molding and badge delete for me too, no matter what she says lol! It just looks so clean without them.

Sure, I'll take some shots like that. as for the flush, it could go for a little bit more maybe another .2 - .4 inch.. but not too much. definitely wider than stock snowflakes.

Hmm... You may find that most folk in here don't dig the stretch. Just a heads up if anyone totally bashes your opinion.

What is happening, I thought this was the functional thread?!

Not really a good guess when he already posted the specs, MonkeyAss. Haha

ps- very nice looking setups in here, guys. I'm looking for wheels for my dads '10 Mazda3 and this thread helps.

Well I'm assuming you don't read every post because people ask redundant questions, right? And your post of asking the specs was one of the posts your would generally skip over. I just thought it was funny. And I don't smoke a pipe.

Back on topic. I can't wait to function at Mid-Ohio in April. I miss summer wheels and windows down SO much.

Wait until you have the NItto's on the RPF-1's......you will see how much better the P5 will feel on track.......I would advise you to head outside of Mid-O and heat um up and then have at it!
