people having success with this setup are usually on coils. on stock setup you should need a roll, grind of the rear bumper tab. you may rub with a full load. i would say suspension first...just my opinion

This isn't a crazy offset, I can see rolling fenders but they're really not that wide and my car won't be that low. Height im not worried I was worried about width with the 235 tires rubbing any other way. Im not doing coilovers bc idc bout that, I just want these to fit with a lil work if need be.

I fig maybe someone on here would know exactly. I looked through this thread but found no definitive answer unless I missed it.

nice.

how are the rs3's treating you? i never really got to "test" them cant even test them on the miata as they are on national backorder until late april/early may

[Rokusek]

damn manny! love that pic bro.

the tires are baller!!! takes a bit for them to warm up but once they are... its game over. i gotta go take some pics today now that i got the ride hight adjusted properly and she sits nice, ill post up some pics later on

[Rokusek]

Sooo do I fall into the category of aggressive offset?

[taf0422]

It looks good but that looks like a bad pull job of the rear fenders. Looks pretty wavey.

[Rokusek]

Lol yea it was the first time I've ever done it, I'm trying to find a flat roller to get rid of the waves but, right now I'm just nudging it lower and lower to see how far I can go before rubbing on aggressive driving

~~~~
I did a test fit of those racing hart 19's today... abit of poke.. esp w/ the 10.5 in the rear ... but its d0.able...
Hah
Wheels need to be re.finished still... but ill toss up piks in a few days...

[mazdafreak]

How much work to fit 18x9.5+35 Rotiforms nue, camber, def a roll in rear, pull etc?? I can do a slight stretch in the rear, but want at least a 225 up front....maybe 235, b/c racecar! but doubtful it will fit.


lmk, thanks!



Wish they had a more size selection for the nues.....

its in my sig, but since you asked, 17x9+48 with 255/40 fronts spaced out to +32 and rear spaced to +40. i need to cut out a little more of the fender liner as the tires rub when i turn all the way in both directions and i need to drop her a little moar this weekend, hopefully i wont rub :/ trying to see how low she will go

[:: Gusto ::]

wheels need to be re.finished...
CO's are not all the way down... think im going with BAGS... im tired of running BC's

Bronze always looks good on white... yet you can never go wrong with white on white... thats one hell of a predicament you got there...

id have to say bronze, only cuz one of the locals has a darker bronze on his white ms3 and it looks baller...

just to try and give you an idea as to what his looks like... see bellow :

[dubunderpar]

Unless the white matches, don't do white on white. Otherwise something is always going to look dingy.

[dastpe]

i had white on white on my first car and loved it, until the wheels got brake dust on them. i would go bronze...looks too good not to.

an reason you havent taken the side moldings off?

[tigermack]

Gold.

I like them. MS3's look better with them on IMO.

[Roszko]

Yeah I really like the bronze. And that's my issue with the white, they're not gonna be the same color. Of course, in those pictures my car was edited so it's not white. And gold is too flashy. I'm 24, not 16. I'll do the gloss white primer, but I'm pretty sure I'll ultimately go with bronze. It's so fucking sickkkk.

Think I'm gonna do the calipers red or a teal color. I have the teal Work lugs, that'll all go really well together.

[Rokusek]

I bet that would look sick with that combo of colors... its like Nike... JUST DO IT!

[Downmented]

I painted the wheels myself, took about a week. Sanded them, primered, wet sanded, painted, painted and cleared a few times lol

Just picked up some 5-ZIGEN Fn01r-C rims 18x8.5 for my 08 Speed3! They should be aggressive. I may run a 3mm or 5mm spacer.





I will be running 225/40/18 FEDERAL 595 EVOs

really nice spray job on those wheels..
rattle can??
or gun??

[Downmented]

Spray gun, we went out and bought paint from a body shop. The primer is actual metal primer and instantly binds with metal. The paint and clear coat are of the same brand that BMW uses. The paint was a 2 step paint in order to get the pearl affect. I am very happy with the outcome and will prolly make a thread with all of the photos taken along the way.

[GOT 2RBO]

sonic tuning st120s for teh win!!1



I see that you didn't use their big bulky center caps...I took mine off, ordered a set of flat plain chrome center caps, sanded them, and painted them silver to match the wheel to give the wheel more depth. You should check into it! But the white on silver looks incredible, nice choice.

[Downmented]

@GOT 2RBO Yes, they are st120's lol And i didnt use the giant center caps because they have a hole in the center that would have looked horrible if i used them. Im content without them for right now

[GOT 2RBO]

When i had the bulky center caps, I ordered these small carbon fiber mazdaspeed round decals I found on ebay...they aren't a sticker, more like a emblem/logo. I centered them up, put it over the hole, and it filled it in nicely. But after a while I got tired of them sticking out so much, so i put the flat caps on and it gives the center of the wheel more dimension. Just like on your picture above from an angle without the center cap...it looks so much better. But seeing the rusted hub sucks, so thats why I went with the flat center caps painted to match the wheels. Sonic Tuning owns!


Edit: Did your wheels not come with the black sonic tuning center cap decals? I had a set of black ones that came with mine. Just curious!
