what're your tires?

I appreciate the individuality, but those wheels aren't my cup of tea. Although, can't go wrong with Volk.

Nice stance and fitment, I bet it looks mean rolling

Looks good CeeeJay... Keep up the good work! :)

what're your tires?
Went with the budget choice of Goodyear Eagle GTs.

Its all good. I'm getting a lot of mixed reactions which I knew I'd get with such a uniquely styled wheel

Nice stance and fitment, I bet it looks mean rolling

looks great dude

Props to ya CeeeJay. Don't know those would have been my choice, but more power to ya! :)
Definitely a unique look.

i like the look and it would be a choice if I had the money...

i wanna photo shop them onto my black spd 6

Waaaaaaait a minute, wtf bumper is that. That's not the autoexe or corksport...

it is an Autoexe bumper, bought it at corksport a year ago.

LOL my mistake. I guess I've just never ever seen it in white. It makes those lines really pop.

... omg those wheels... wtf.

..... really not happy w/ the amount of ms6 pics on here....

I think next year im going to try & get some 18x11 in the rear of my spd6... i have to swap out my eibach's for some coils..

you do realize on an AWD car you have to run the same wheel / tire size front and back.

Wheel are for trade for stock ms3/6 wheels
With tires and a small amount of money.

Where do you live and how much?

Las Vegas. 800 with trade 1200 with no trade

Id be interested had you not highlighted them hahah

what wheels are they? size?

yeah.. too bad your wrong...

i do love haters.. & those who don't understand....

======================

It's all about the tire circumference, nothing else.

it's been a few years since i've read up on this.. but i believe u can only run a 3% diff in tire size ..nothing more.. or ull break stuff....

but..

here are other posts pulled from all over...
::::
Fourtitude.com - The real deal on staggered wheels
A4_For_Baby ::
The width makes absolutely no diff. (as long as you don't have diff. widths on the front, long story but nobody normally does that). Its the diameter of the wheel/tire that matters.
If you want to run 8"s on the front and 9"s on the back you can do that as long as the final diameter, that is wheel and tire, are analogous.
-
True, it would always be safest to go with the same setup on all four corners.
However, this is what I did on my dads TT.
18x8’s in the front with 225/45
18x9’s in the rear with 245/40

This setup yields the following:

Front:
225(mm) / 25.4(mm/in) = 8.858” <--width
8.858” * .45 = 3.986” <--height
(Assuming ~30-40% deflection at tire/tarmac contact location.)
.65 * 3.986 = 2.591”
(18” / 2) + 2.591 = 11.591”

This is more or less your running radius of the front end.

Rear:
245(mm) / 25.4(mm/in) = 9.646” <--width
9.646” * .40 = 3.858” <--height
(Assuming ~30-35% deflection at tire/tarmac contact location.)
.675 * 3.858 = 2.604
(18” / 2) + 2.604 = 11.604”

This is more or less your running radius of the rear end.

The difference between the two would then effectively be about 0.013” or 13 thousands of an inch. This difference is so small (0.1%) that its effect is negligible. Under/over inflation can easily create differences of 0.500” which is 40 times bigger than the above calculated difference.

So, as long as it is done carefully/correctly it can be quite safe.
::::::::::::

if it doesn't work... Explain... Carrera4s awd ..staggered wheels... or all those high priced...
audi, bmw's, bently's, etc run staggered wheels on there awd cars..?

^ yup, he's right. It's the tire size that matters, as long as they are close enough and not hurt a thing.

those are some sick wheels. for some reason i would love to see them on a red car.

i have some OEM ms6 wheels...

wanna trade!?

i 2nd that....

specs on the mello:yellow wheels...???

No more volks? Love the nt-03's! (if that's what they are?)

I still have my previous wheels. Just couldn't pass up a good deal on these. and yes, they are nt03+m, 18x9.5

not mys style

anymore shots? id like to see the profile of the 9.5s from the front/back.

offset?

Here is closest thing i got::
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...ed%203/187.jpg

+40



I still need to figure out how I can drop it some more. The rear of the car is at the lowest the KW v2 coils can go.

They look good.

What tire size are those?

that ish looks clean. camber in the area of 2 degrees? front n back? looks like 9.5"s are in my future...

Love the wheels, fitment is perfect. May I asked what you're dropped on? Tire specs? Thank you.

Edit: Nevermind. Read through the thread lol: BC's and 225/40

They're Rota Grids, 18x9.5 +38
On BC (BR-Type) Coilovers, dropped all the way. Spacer delete on rear springs to drop it lower
No camber adjustments other than an alignment
3mm spacers on front to clear the struts when turning
Tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 225/40/18
Rear fenders pulled, rolled and dremmeled. Front fenders simply pulled with my hands

Thanks for the compliments man, appreciate it!

nice setup Roszko

I'm looking for a set of BC's to achieve the same low-ness you and others have, but I've heard that in order to go low, you have to have BC's "revised" version of their Type BR coilovers. These revised coilovers have shorter spring lengths as well as some other stuff that makes them go lower than their previous version. From my understanding, they didn't start making the "revised" version until earlier this year. May I ask when you bought your coilovers?

I bought them in May of this year, so I must've gotten their revised version

Props CeeeJay fresh setup, one of the wheels I was looking at for my new setup.
Good to see them on a MS3.

ohh.. i have got to get some 18 or 17x11...this thread is driving me nuts.. i gotta wait until next season...

its snowing right now.. as i type.. heh

not a mazda but still... i need a set up like this... hahah

17x8.5 et37 (205/40/17) 17x11 et29 (235/40/17)

wow... thats so fuckin ugly, sorry man.

btw, arent those gti's fwd? lol at staggered rear

not to mention... 235's on 11? really? u might as well ride the rim with a leather belt on it.

Have fun paying for those wheels lol. You can buy a hooker, an eight ball and a miata for the price of those rims

i got the same problem im taking out the rear perch? (little guy used to adjust the height) as soon as i take care of the fenders and i feel i can do it without breaking anything.

ill send you a pic when i get it done showing how much it lowered it, if you dont figure something out by then.


you could also try shorter springs if you wanna keep the adjustability, i know sumthaiguy and hatchie both are running custom springs. hatchie has em in the back and sumthaiguy has em in the front for sure and i think he may have em in the back too

17x9 +40.

255/40

not a MS3 or the same wheels, but you get the picture :D

Albert, are you going to keep you evo wheel? or go with something else?

Herra frush is fucking gay.

Monster truck setup FTW

i cant wait to be able to post my future setup here... those fuckin advanz sure take a while to get imported... :(

Keeping the evo wheels but I'm stretching some smaller tires on them when my coilovers come in

damn looking @ these wheels makes me think of that song.. i just had sex.. hahahah

sorry .. im really loving this song right now!!

Did I accidentally go into the rice of the day thread?

pics of the new setup. still some more work needed.

The storage pictures with the new 225/40s?

Love it man, turned out perfect

Looks amazing zoombyu!

those are 18x9.5 right.. ??

hmmm.. so should be that much more poke for 18x11

If you're gonna get 11" wide wheels, please do the proper fender work to make it look legit.
Even then, I'm not sure if it's going to work.

You don't want your Speed6 to look like this lol
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/1...3265403117.jpg

On another note, that white and black Speed3s with the Rota Grids look amazing! :bigok:

hahaha thats awesome!!

looks good w/ purple steel wheels.. hahah

nope still the 225/35. not sure if im going to move up in tires size yet since ill be moving to japan here shortly....

What suspension setup are you running?

bc coilovers

damnit. i want that look without spending the coin of coilovers ;)

Setup looks awesome! Which bike rack is that?( I know Yakima but which model?) Also got better pics of the rack on the car? Closer shots on how its installed. I'm looking for a bike rack but still not yet decided. I like your though.

im not even sure of the exact model. i just got the control towers because i dont like how the ones that clamp down. go on almost any roof rack site and theyll have a guide for you just make sure you get control towers. my setup was fairly expensive though wince there werent any sales going on. thats all i have for pics at the moment. those were just spur of the moment. someone actually hit my pass front fender so im waiting to get that fixed before my buddy takes some legit pics.

18x11?? I can't wait to see it. When do you expect to have them on/complete?

check out my 3 foot offset on my rear axle ...

http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/foru...1&d=1294016151

i win!!... n happy new years losers... lol... too much offset on miata... is like trying to bottom out in... well now that you mention it... glass eye annie or whatzhurfaze?

Got bored, took pictures. Here's some I like...

grids look sooooo good on speed3's.. if they only weighed less than 20lbs..

what kind of camera? looks good mayn. ordering some 225/40s this week.

They really don't weigh that much. Definitely less than stockers. But I picked up a some 18x10 TE37s WITH tires and almost threw them into my face, I thought they'd be heavy, but no. Could've seriously lifted them with one finger. Crazy light. Weight: TE37 < Grids < Stock (that's a given haha)

nice Chad! I thought I just got a text from you saying, "no more for a while" hahaha. I'm sure you'll like those better though.

Canon T2i, got it for Christmas :banana:

yea, stock wheels are heavy as balls.. gen2 stockers weigh in at 25+lbs.. im hoping to drop 30lbs of unsprung weight.. i dont think the grids will cover that.. they do look fucking mean though.. maybe some 17x9 grids would help with the weight reduction..

random question, what lug nuts are those? Work?

nice Chad! I thought I just got a text from you saying, "no more for a while" hahaha. I'm sure you'll like those better though.

Canon T2i, got it for Christmas :banana:[/QUOTE]

i meant after i get my wheels/suspension just right hahahaha. plus im still trying to sell my stock wheels and ill be TRYING to sel the tires from these.

yeah, they're Work. I forgot the exact name

I only think they make 2 types, there normals ones (the ones you have) and than the extended ones.

many to come... for now, shitty camera pics

Jealous, want your tires. Nice setup. Any plans to lower it? I saw your original thread, but I forgot if you mentioned it in there

what kind of tires?

Yokohama Advan Neova AD08

^^yes. 235-40-18

I only have cobb springs so far, so it is already 1" lower.
In the future I might consider coilovers, once my struts get messed up. For now, ill remain on just cobb springs.

as I stand, theres no rub, but im gonna do a minor fender roll in the rear to be safe.

edit: I do rub, a little, pics 2 posts below

=0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

theres a lot of sexy time on this page

I stand corrected, there IS some rub.

I didnt rub at all the first 2 days, but yesterday I pushed it as hard as I could on an empty wide road and got VERY MINOR rub. I noticed it this morning
heres the pics
http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/x...114_090124.jpg
http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/x...114_090117.jpg

the other rear tire has even less. so Id say this setup is quite safe even without a roll, unless u wanna go to the track.
Im doing a little tuck this weekend, especially since i just saw the little rub

I've been wondering how the AD08s would do with a stretch... I know they have a heavy shoulder so it might not work too well but still, I'd love that kind of grip on my car. So you have 235/40/18s on what, 8? 8.5? I'd need to fit at least (because of larger shoulder/dimensions) a 225/40/18 on my 9.5s. Maybe just go a little lower with 225/35.

You have the tire, you have first-hang knowledge, what do you think Pablo?

I think the shoulder on these is definitely heavy, Im not sure how they would stretch on a wider rim. Im currently on 18x8.5 +45 offset wheels.
I do think these could be pulled off on a 9" rim EASILY since they arent stretch at all on my 8.5... not sure about the 9.5 though.
Ill take some better pics this weekend and post more closeup pics if that helps.

You rub with that height/wheel gap?!

pics are a bit deceiving... the car isnt really that high, ask any of the AZ guys. Its not slammed, but its decently lowered IMO.
it runs normal, like I said, i pushed it really hard (kinda did some slalom on an empty wide street and threw the car back and forth to see if i would rub cause im going to the track in two weeks and i dont wanna shatter the tires.
I barely rubbed, there isnt any scrapes on the tires, but theres some marks from the fender touching it.

to illustrate my point to rozsco, i took a few extra pics trying to show how much room I have with those tires to stretch to a 9" wide rim. Its up to u to decide if you can pull it off in a 9.5"

I like the red one from S:N better, but these two are solid. Worth a gander. This red MS3 is overdone IMO, but the black MS6 is clean as funk.

:32:

That's it, i'm buying coilovers. Ill be in here this summer, hopefully Nj streets wont be to harsh on me.

Can't wait!

They're my favorite mod. Even if you don't slam it, still worth every penny.

wow. great work.

Those Work VS-XX's on that MS3 are sex. I can't wait for mine to arrive. Its gonna look good on WWP. :)

Wait.

Did I miss something or did we become a part of the Mexican lowrider truck scene?

you missed something haha

Oh look, Volkswagon Speed3's!

Anyone run 19s?
