^^^ how do you like the CNT TBE? Any drone? How's noice level compared to stock? It looks fucking mean.

No drone, I love it. Sounds exactly what I was looking for. I have a video on youtube...

wow youre like the first person to post a legit exhaust video. sounds mean! sound like mine with stock dp, race pipe, and first two resonators removed.

For the guys with 8.5 and 9.5 wide 18s how much room is there inside the arch?

Say running about et40? I dont want to poke much just want to sit flush. Am tempted by the 9.5" wide rims as they look concave and badass. But thinking 8.5 will be easier for me to pull off.

Pretty sure 9.5 +40 won't fit because the inside of the rim would hit the strut. Don't quote me on that, but from what I understand, it'd hit...

But idk how much room is inside the arch, there's room enough to drive, we can all roll haha. It's hard to gauge. Get the appropriate suspension/links/arms/plates/tire sizes and you can pretty much fit anything in there. I'm sure the info you're looking for is somewhere on this forum, people have asked similar questions a few times.

for 9.5 (with bc coilovers) i have to run at most 35et because the front will rub the shock housing if more. I have 38 and run a 3mm spacer up front. not sure about clearance in the rear. what do you mean inside the arch? you mean the tire rubbing on the top of the wheel well? i know the fronts people have to hammer down a metal piece under the plastic fender. i like the look of the exoX wheels spaced out to sit flush. 8.5 wide i believe.

Will 17x8.25 et35 on 235/45/17s fit with stock suspension/soon to be eibach pro kit and SenSen shocks?

I have been doing a lot of measurements to see if I can stuff a 8.5" wheel under there. The issue is that the strut locking ring on most mainstream coilovers (including mine) interferes with inside sidewall clearance. The lower you go, the closer the sidewall/lip is to the locking ring. I am dropped an inch and will barely clear on a 235/40/18 tire @ +45. And I'll have to massage the rear fender pretty good too.

Personally I'd stay away from a 9.5" width unless you're OK with running a narrow tire outside the manufacturer's recommendations (refer to post #705).


EDIT: Obviously I'm more of a practical guy but can appreciate many of the setups in here. Thanks for the thread.

are those 19's??!??

o side note.. picked up some new wheels..
3pc 19" .... mmmm

18x9.5

i want 19 3pc wheels :/

WTF is this shit?

GTFO

can mods rename this section to "low and slow" section?

faster than your ass. who says just cause we lower out car and have camber we can't go fast or race? again gtfo

a rock in the road

a rock that would affect my driving would also affect yours. again gtfo.

lol I'm at stock height which is like a monster truck and also fail

Lol

I'll take that. These cars are slow.

Just for you

Lol.

I wish I could have a near stock ms3. Oh wait I do have one. What makes you so special?

I know enough about it to stay away from this shit. Now worship me!

doesn't seem like you know anything. just the same old bs that you "all hail over functional shit on a street car" fuckfaces say everytime you see anything that looks good. and yes. I'll be as biased as you are.

Fags gonna fag

congrats, you eat thru rear tires 10x faster than me.


I have a near stock looking ms3. Wanna race?

........but it doesn't look good.

Huge-ass lipped wheels on a slammed G35 looks good. A ms3 dropped so low the wheels have to be negative cambered 25* doesn't look good, it looks ridiculous. Not ostentatious like chrome HRE wheels on a bimmer, but like tristars on a 92 grand am.

Thank you! None of these dipshits understand that doing this doesn't make you baller. It's a goddamn $25k car. Join reality.

never said I was baller. I bought used wheels. I know I'm not baller. having a g35 with "huge" lips will require negative camber to fit as well. the car is front wheel drive, so technically I am more functional that a rwd g35 or 350z with as much camber as I have in the rear. and you're point is that it doesn't look good? ok I respect you don't like it, but you don't know fucking anything and all you have to say it it doesnt look good to you, I really don't give a fuck what looks good to you.

I bet these fags don't even race. They probably go to circle jerk parking lot meets and show off there underglow strobing neon lights

Meh. There are worse offenses out there. Like people running 300 wtq on stock dampers...

*ducks*

actually i do race. we dont have any tracks out here in hawaii and i work on sundays so no scca for me, but yes i do race on the freeway. i'll get a vid the next time i go out. dont you worry. and yeah i've learned to just keep to my self what i like and dont like cause it shouldnt matter what i think and when people get butthurt about a simple comment and i get told by friends that someone wants to kick my ass (fucking big ego stupid fucks from hawaii). yeah no thanks i'll just keep shit to myself.

"Hey guys, we're insecure about ourselves, so let's just go to all the threads that aren't "normal" or "widely accepted" and assert our overgrown ego's on them, make them feel retarded for doing something different because we're afraid of change and not being seen as cool anymore."

The Mazda community is full of a bunch of boring highway racers who brag about taking moderately fast cars like cobalts and GT's. This isn't a super car or a race car; it's a cheap, fun hatchback with a wide range of abilities, all of which are of the owner's decision. You don't need a bimmer or a G35 to be able to lower your car, saying that just magnifies your naivety. Did I forget to read the rule book? Give me a fucking break.

You guys care about performance? Look at the cars on this thread. Most of them are modified, some more than others, but most of them are. We care about performance too, but OH NO! God forbid we have a sense of style different from you guys. Thank god we do, because whatever sets me farther apart from your guys' egotistical hating and mindless bashing is perfectly ok with me.

alrite cmon fags, get back on topic with your sideways wheels.

if you dont like it, dont view this thread

I hate to quote an older post but I'm still under post count for PM's.

What are the specs/brand of your wheels? What suspension are you running? I really like the fitment.

BC coilovers, rota grid 18x9.5 +38 iirc

with a 3mm spacer up front i believe to clear the strut

why do function nazis gotta act like 5 yr olds? OMGZZ YOU DONT HAVE 7.5 WIDE WHEELS AND YOUR LOW FUCK MUST PUT SHOTGUN IN MOUTH AND PULL TIRGGER!!!....fags :dance:

to try and get this back on topic, love the eurolines

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6215/...9ce1a935_z.jpg

i love the eurolines too. i want SL's though

O rly? I used to own a 350z and have several friends with them and g35s, and those with sick rims with lips never had to do what you guys do. Not by a long shot. Maybe a degree or two, but not 25. And they're hella more functional because their tires don't wear to the belts in 3000 miles.

ahhh sl's would look waaaaay ill on your car. i want a set of ssr vienna kreis but idk if it would look dumb cause ill never be as low as you or some of the other dumped guys

your dumb as nuts if you took that 25* seriously, while this is still crazy camber i think the most on a speed has been like 10*

pics or it didnt happen.... lets see these cars and i wanna hear some sizes por favor. Before i get crucified by these nazis yes i understand you can have a wider wheel on gs and zs without camber because they have more room obviously its common sense guys lol...

also anyone who isnt a fan of the low and wide or down and out style just shut up and stick to your own threads already, you dont see us running into every thread someone isnt low or wide and talking bullshit. once again stop being so beat and immature.

(dis niggah steps off his soap box)

Not gonna lie, I'm all for flush mounted wheels, but this ridiculous negative camber used to "TRY" to fit these terribly offset wheels is just ignorantly retarded.

Bumped out wheels with enough negative camber to claim you broke an axle is beyond fail IMHO.

The only thing worse was that guy with the white 3 and friggin Mexiflares. HO LEE SHIT... I had to close my eyes. :shock:

^ You shut your mouth. Rocky's 3 looks gangster! lol

I don't understand all the hate. Who gives a shit. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but you don't have to be so damn obstinate about it. That goes to the HF guys too. The funny thing is most HF guys love to see functional guys do their shit to their cars. They love seeing huge power makers. I do at least. But function/performance bastards come in & shit on HF guys all the damn time. More power to the HF guys. I think it looks dope as hell. And they'll more than likely spend a shit ton less than gear heads do on go fast parts. My performance parts have far exceeded what I spent on stance & exterior combined. There's no purpose in having 300+ whp on the street either because you're not allowed to use it. Use it all in front of a cop & see what happens. But YOU do it because YOU think it's fun & YOU enjoy it. Same for the HF guys. Hell that's why I did it. I woulda been at 400+whp had I tuned when my motor blew & I was draggin nuts, pokin, stretchin & cambering it up while doing it. Who gives a damn.

And if you're one of these "it's dangerous/you're putting others on the road at risk" faggots you can shut the fuck up. Until you start bitching this adamantly about smokers I will not accept that as a valid point. Second hand smoke has killed/injured more innocent ppl than the HF phase ever has & ever will.

I don't hate on power/function guys. I understand their points. They do it cause they like it. I don't hate HF guys. I understand their points. They do it cause they like it. Who gives a shit either way? I do hate all the bitching, flaming & arguing in every single wheel/suspension/tire/fitment thread.

/rant. More pics please.

hahaha loved this

Sorry dude, you're completely wrong. My camber is MAYBE -2 in the rear, where the fuck is this 25 number coming from? And my last set of tires lasted 10 times that long -- 30,000. So talk some relevant shit or stop plaguing this thread with your assumptions we don't care about in the first place.

I know on my wife's regular 3, -2 is within factory specs. It's the maximum allowed but it is permitted. That's why my wife's car has factory. I was going to buy arms to dial out some camber but it's cheaper just to rotate/flip. I'd be fine with running -2 on my ms3.

What's so bad about a nicely stanced/slammed sedan with power to back it up?

I think the drop on my speed6 is perfect. Ofc that's my opinion, but it's got the 50/50 mix of aggressive look w/subtle mods that do not detract from the elegance of the car.

What's the beef with _slammed sedan regime_ ?


Continue.

Your first question is easy to answer. Go to the OP and see the date this thread was initiated.

Now to your second question: We are sensitive people with feelings and emotions sharing our opinions of wheels with aggressive offsets (as the title of this thread specifies I might add) But we also like fornicating with the mothers of insubordinate children such as yourself who have big balls when it comes to trashing people over the internet but will cry in shame when you see your mother massaging our penises with her tonsils.

HAHAHAHAHA!
So you race?
Finish high school first and grow some hair around your penis. You have my permission to come back here to join the conversation after that.



Actually, after you finish high school, go back to plowing potato fields barefoot to clear your head for a while and then come back you bog trotting peasant.
You seem to know much about patronizing. Nothing about cars.
Also please PM me your mom's phone number. I would like to have a word with her.

Very original.
Did your mom provide special ed for you to promote your development in the art of eloquence?

@Tomas

wow very clever responses. Now I'm going to take any car advice from you. I never knew that if my wheels were sideways and rubbing my fenders I would go faster

Lol...
Go back to plowing your potato fields.
^^^^
Actually true story, i have a friend that is from Idaho.
Do you have nothing better to do with your time than bash peoples interests?
We all drive Mazdas. Jeez.

Not going to lie. Really digging Roszko's setup. :cool:

I'm now considering 18x8.5 Grids knowing Rota supplies significant volume to Toyota and others. They seem to be reasonably light and the offset is just enough to clear the KW's on 235's. I'm getting under the car this weekend and don't think the +50 offset on RX8's will clear the strut perch @ initial drop.

I know my MS setup isn't exactly the same as your KW setup, but if your perches/springs aren't any wider than mine you should be OK.

I ran around all this past summer on RX-8s/235s... :dunno:

You know, all the bashing only results in people being intimidated to post pics of their wheels and lowering preferences. This thread has been going for a long time and it's a great way to see all the wheel options out there and how they look mounted on the MS's. . I come here to do just that and it's been an excellent source of information. Read through some of the previous threads. Not everyone is slammed. But if they want to be who gives a fuck.

Aggressive doesn't have to be all HellaFlush either. Last I remember Jroc was rolling on 255/40s 17x9s on his MS6. IMO that's aggressive & qualifies in this thread too. And he's purely function. There's room for everyone here, just quit the damn flaming each other.

I've never ever seen any dispute get shittier or more heated the Form vs. Function one lately. Not even damn MS vs. Honda! Flaming/hate on HF is worse than the flaming/hate on the fags that put stick on vents & CF scoops, gaudy body kits, park bench wings & spinner hub caps. At least HF guys are fucking presentable. I really don't understand why it's so enraging to ppl. :shrug:

I didn't buy this car to go fast. I bought it to drive to work and in that respect its never failed.

I sold a car faster than damn near every one on this site 4 years ago. I had my fun but grew tired of working on the car all the time.

I'm at stock height and have stock wheels I plasti dipped black. I plan on a high performance suspension and some decent looking light wheels. Would I be worthy of posting pics?

Permission granted potato boy.

lol at the Potato comments! Idaho is longer a potato hub, hasn't been in decades. Technology rules the economy here now. I guess this kind of intelligence is expected from ppl who turn their wheels sideways!

Can I be apart of the cool kids club!?

Missing something? I guess that's the kind of attention to detail we can expect from people who don't care what their car looks like.

Tappinit.

225/40/18 on a 18x8.5 +48 sound ok on stock suspension.

Pulling the trigger on these tomorrow, biggest concern is if it clears stock strut and if the tires will fit, i know they will be stretched a bit, i just dont know how much or if too much?

Any input please.

I think the offset is too high you might be hitting the suspension like that especially on 8.5 I have 17x8 with the same offset and I have to run 5mm spacers...

hopefully not =/

Any other input greatly appreciated!!!!!

damn B, herra frush!

not tryin to be herra frush, just to good of a deal on these wheels to pass on and hoping they fit on stock suspension

You're going to be very close to the rear strut and may not clear the front without spacers. You won't need much though, 3-5mm maybe.

Exactly!

I think that every day haha. I'd break it for sure, but I would like one. A subtle one like a home depot lip haha, sad I know, but I like it

A very long time ago I had planned on getting a set of black ultraleggara's for my car. I like.

FUCKIN LOVE UR CAR U FAGGOT DAMN YOU.

I can never have that set up here in this miserable fucking state of WA.


Cant wait till im back in FL and i can ride low again.

=[

faggot. no offense to roszko but that isnt even low. it looks great but nothing anyone should be afraid of in any state

I don't think my car is that low. :(

Think it would be crazy to change my 10's to 9.5's so I can go down to a 215/35?

stfu and eat a dick, have you physically been to every state? Road conditions in this fuck shit state suck faggot, even at stock height all the bumps and dips in the road i scrape and shit, not to mention all the speed bumps in every community, parking lot etc.

Hope you're enjoyin that dick.

I'm going out on a limb and calling BC's and 18x9.5 +38 Grids with a small spacer.

Haha, close! Mark's on K Sports with a 5mm spacer. Wheel specs are correct. You'd think more people would notice the trend going on here... Thanks for actually reading and using some simple deductive reasoning skills -- what a novel idea! haha
