whats the difference in wheel well front and back between let say my 2005 mazda 3s 5door and a mazda 3 speed? are they the same or is the rim and tire size just different. i ask this because i know that wisniaPl has 18x8 rpm rims with a 38mm offset on his mazda speed. wheelfire salesman tell me they won't fit my mz3s. yes i know thats a crazy offset but it works on his! any help would be great????

here's the link to a pic of his:

the bumpers are different.
side skirts are the same on speed 3's and 3 sports

so the wheel well is different? so the wheel well between the two are different in size as far as rim tire fitment?

i replied to your private message. but the bumpers are different which makes the wheel wells appear to be different. if a wheel fits on a speed 3 it will fit on a 3 sport or sedan
