OFFICIAL AGGRESSIVE OFFSET THREAD

[sumthaiguy]

hope this is aggressive enough for this thread! lolz

Wheel specs are:

effectively
18x9 +31
18x10 +28

equipped with the 215/40/18's from the old advan setup.



this happened on monday 3/15/10

pic of the 215/40/18 on the 18x10 muahahah...



lol and i still havent finished the wheels




Hovercraft mode.





suspension all drooped.



and believe it or not I DONT RUB. muahahah!!!!


ive found some little knick-knacks that might help me go lower too. hopefully that + some tweaking + some old fashion ingenuity will equal a badass stanced ride!

i found out when the car was lifted, that the spring isnt sitting right on the driver side so im gonna do some messing around with rear suspension today, fix it, and maybe get it a little lower. but at least even lol. ill leave the fronts for another day.

well here are some pics of what i did this morning. sorry the pics are kind of dark and crappy. the sun is on the wrong side right now.

lowered the rear a little. excuse the fronts. they are still sky high. doing the fronts later. im now as low as physically possible with these bc's. well at least in the rear. its actually tucking the TINIEST bit!!!



p-p-p-p-poker face...





needz moar low...



this is a little issue lol. going up and down my drive way looks like this. when the new coilovers come out im hoping itll be something like this all the time XD. moar dumpt and tuck.





will post more and better pics when i get the car more dialed in.

while i agree that i would never make my car look like that, he does have a point.
we all knowingly clicked on a thread that said, "aggressive wheel offset."
what we didn't get from the title of the thread was...
something about your tires...

wow...I feel sorry for ur car sumtaiguy...i won't even go into it...but damn...thats the gayest thing i've ever seen on a speed, and i've seen some fucked up shit.

lmao wow. why feel sorry for my car? i wish you would go into it so i can know exactly why you dont like it and think its the gayest thing. im not trying to impress anyone but i think just because its differnt people are so quick to put it down. nothing is fucked up about it. it functions just like it did before. it just has aggressive fitment on it. i think its better than all of the sunken fitment, spray canned, wheels that everyone runs. its unique and thats what i was going for.

haha o and lemme guess youre one of those ZOMG speed3 = racecar people that think if a mod doesnt add 23904923 hp its not worth doing. haha i bet all you have are power parts too. no style, no appeal to your car. car just looks lackluster and boring with more power.

i get my share of hate on what i do and the majority if not all of it comes from function-heads. they think the ms3 is a super car and that it should be modded soley for the purpose of racing and beating other cars. ive been through that phase. but then i realized that even though my car is quick, it still looks the same as when i drove it home from the dealer. stock.

and again READ THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD. AGGRESSIVE fitment thread = thread for wheels that are more aggressive. you should expect that in a thread where boundaries are being pushed, someone would go to the extreme. i just went more aggressive and in the style that im going for, stretched tire goes hand in hand with this fitment. if i didnt stretch then it would be IMPOSSIBLE to run an aggressive sized rim and make it look pleasing. then this thread would just be full of normal wheels. then we'd fall into our own monotony.

haha you feel sorry for my car? i feel sorry for YOUR car. its smack dab in the monotony of the bajillions of ms3's that look EXACTLY the same.

people like you are what dumbs down the mazda scene. im just bringing something new to the table. im a avid fan of wheel fitment/hellaflush/wrongfitmentcrew etc... its my style and its what i like. so thats why i did it. instead of embracing it or at least, if you dont like it, being courteous about it, you insult and shun it.


O and thanks speedsixxx!

[romeox929]

good look..100% with the hellaflush movement. Once I get my coils and _____ rims, stancewise, we'll be similiar.

[SpeedSixxx]

ppl talked shit about my rims as well when i posted pics...cause it's different..

i like em and they bigger then stock

18x8.5

Lol, it all comes down to opinions! They're like assholes, everyones got one. And no my car isn't all power mods, and no it doesn't look factory and to be honest I don't even have a 3. Regardless, that's all meaningless. I'm not gunna go into because it's not worth wasting my time arguing about your personal taste vs mine. I know exactly what this thread is and what it's about. Props to u fir fitting some wide ass rims on it car. But where I come from those stretched tires are on nothing but riced out beaner mobiles that can barely get them and their 30 illegal friends to point b. Basically what I'm saying is that "appeal" has been ruined to me. Yeah I can pull the form vs function card but I'm not. My car is my DD so I mod towards making that as enjoyable as possible and ironically that also my personal taste for modding.

I've done that kinda shit before when I was into hondas back in the day...needless to say I hated driving anywhere because it wasn't fun for me, always watching out for bumps, getting the exact approach angle to make it into a driveway or parking lot so u don't fuck anything up...it got old really fast! I can run a 10" wide wheel with tires that aren't stretched (255-265 I believe) and not really have much of any issue rubbing. Again it all comes down to your background and modding style. Yours is obviously not even close to mine, so instead of being a little bitch and whining about it, take my opinion for what it is, just that, an opinion and move on!!! It's not that hard to do, unless I somehow ruined ur pride in some way because OH MY GOD someone didn't like my rims!!! Jesus dude grow up, if you can't deal with what someone says GTFO!

I don't like it simply because the lip of the wheel sticks out way too damn far. While I typically don't like the "hellaflush" (stupidest name for a "fad" ever btw) look in general, yours doesn't even qualify IMO. The point of the style is to make the lip as flush with the edge of the fender as possible, not to push it out an extra 1/2 an inch.

[Monstar]

ZOMG! I'm flush, but not sticking out! *sigh* Even brought the ride height up a little bit...

[starscream]

MS3 w/ Cobb Springs
RX8 Tires (225/40/18)
and 20mm spacers...

Would that work to make it flush? or....

ok first off, my reply was based off of the responses ive gotten on other mazda forums where ALL of the negative responses where just bashing what ive been doing. i explained to them that it was just my style and what not. but they wouldnt have it. they continued to bash on it because it wasnt the norm and performance oriented. how was i supposed to know that someone would actually register it in their head that this is just my personal style and accept it and not bash on it becuase of its not the norm. your comment was very hateful and vague so i didnt know what you were hating on because i see no point in arguing over personal preferences. it just propelled me to believe that it was just another function head trying to bash my car because its not in racecar mode. so i tried to defend my choices.

and i can see where your coming from when you say that this was a ricey beaner thing and it ruined the appeal for you. its not like that where i come from. at least not the scene im in. when people look at my car and see the fitment they immediately think hellaflush style/wfc/stance not messican style.

and im not being a little bitch about it. i can take opinions. hell ive taken a shit load of negative feedback from ALL of the forums ive posted on. my car has been the pinnacle of controversy. i can understand people not liking my wheel choices (personal style) or my fitment.

what i CANT understand is why people have to be fucking douches with the beaches of california shoved up in their vaginas about it. an "o i dont like it" wouldve sufficed. it just brings unnecessary negativity to the scene. and makes you look like a total dick.

haha you say for me to grow up? im pretty mature and calm when it comes to stuff like this. but its when people leave asshole comments like yours that get me. i just dont get why people leave rude comments like that. deters the mazda scene from progressing into new light and makes the mazda world look like a bad place to be in because its so negative.

the way i see it is that if im not rude and being a dick to someone i dont see any reason they should be like that to me. its just rude. i dont know about SOME people, but my mother taught me to be a better person than that.

[mizboo102]

I am so excited that this thread exists.

Wow, somethaiguy, that is some serious WFC stuff. I just found the website because there is going to be a meet in Charlotte next weekend. I really want to go but my car isn't going to be dropped by then and I don't want my 4x4 sticking out like a sore thumb.
Picture:

I have 4 of those wheels but I had the stockers in the front for this picture.

They're 18x8 +35 with 225/40R18 Nitto 555s

Will be dropped soon and I'll take some pictures for this thread.

[speedyhans]

OMG here we go once again if u dont like somethaiguy's set up GTFO!!!!!!!!

the thread is call AGGRESSIVE WHEEL OFFSET

main's low offset +35 and undet will be good

[rossisboss07]

Ok... here's my outlook on this style... I like it, when done somewhat conservatively...
what I don't like is the setups that put the sidewall of the tire at a 45' angle to the rim...
it seems dangerous (sidewall wear? rubbing and it wears through? bead popping off?)
and like your wasting wheel width.

I like this look:


this is too far:


the bottom wheel needs some 245/40 tires to me... again to each their own though.

anyways, subbing for some nice rides. I'd love to go low with my MS3 if I had the money
and could still keep good clearance around where I live.

hahaha I think he was just fucking around.

This is the sickest, most dope fitment I've seen on an MS3 yet. Its some dude on M3F (Dazed&Confused I think):

Rota Grid's 18x9.5 +38 w/ 235/40 tires









I WILL be rocking this setup one day!

[acmhd7]

MY god that CWP is SICK!!

[romeox929]

^^perfect fitment...just a liiitle lower if it were my car.

[ZoomByU]

those grids or p45rs?

[Ms3speed]

Motegi sp10 18x8 40mm Et, Im running 225/40s right now with slight drifter strech but the 8" wheels would take 235/40s just perfect and there pretty agressive right now, so much that I have been holding off on my H&R sport springs cause I don't know if these will work even with fenders rolled.

[802MS3]

Those wheels are nice. Wouldn't look bad with a small drop and some rolled fenders though

stock dampers suck, so you should replace those when you put the springs in. seriously, they suck.

Originally Posted by ZoomByU those grids or p45rs?

Yeah I dunno...wheel dude doesn't have the p45r's in +38

P45R http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5611

Grid http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5742

yo man, did you ever put up pics of the stock wheels with spacers?

[ZoomByU]

no i dont have any. not sure where they went. im trying to get a new set of spacers so i can go back to stockers though.

[Flightmedic]

Would I be able to get away without rubbing on 18x8.5 +48 rota g-force wheels with 225/45/18 yoko advan neovas on my speed6? I am dropped 1.4" with h&r sports and fenders aren't rolled.

[802MS3]

so you aren't using the stock wheels w/ spacers right now? what wheels are you rocking?

[doubleflusher]

I just picked these up last night.

EVO X 18x8.5 +38

I'm not sure they're going to be too aggressive, but I will need to roll the fenders

[Monstar]

On the 6 they looks nice...That is MY opinion. Never seen em on a 3. +38 should be a good fit.

Any Advice or threads on rolling fenders to fit off35's on? I just bought a set of 35 offset wheels 18x8.

[m4tic]

yea you just need a rear roll, rent a wheel roller or have a shop do it
