Yeah it'll fit. Post pics when you're done

Hmm... not sure if being sarcastic or not. Went through a good 30 pages of threads. Got mixed answers. +30 offset is really aggressive buddy. And I don't want to run camber or pull the fenders but rolling the fenders is an option

I'm running 18x9.5 et 35, rolled, dropped on CS springs, approx 1.5" front, and 1.2" rear, IMO it sits dead even front to back, so id say closer to 1.5 all around. That being said, I've never rubbed, or had an issues what so ever. I've actually got some room to drop for sure, and I'm on 235 tires, probably going 245 next. Long store short, you should be fine. Going to look really nice, for sure post pics.

Thanks for the info. I changed my mind though. Finally decided on wheels. Getting cosmis mr7 18x9 ET 25. Buying them this week after deciding on what I want. It's aggressive for sure. I just want it so be aggressive but not be hella flush or camber. I'll see how it goes. Hopefully it'll fit. I'll post pics for sure

After 30 pages of this thread your takeaway is that 18x9 +25 will be fine without camber, stretched tires, and pulled fenders?

Just bought nitto 255/40/18 tires. Need to know what kind of wheels I need to make it fit and what offset. Found some 18×9 mb battles +38. Will it clear the calipers? I'm on stock suspension and may keep it that way. I'm expecting to roll the fenders most likely. Sorry for the past couple of troll posts.

Those tires are way too tall. A full inch diameter larger than stock which is a lot. I suggest you return them.

Shit...alright.. what tires do you suggest then? I want beefy tires like 255 but I thought it would fit on stock suspension

[anavrinIV]

245/40/18 is close to gen1 stock size. If you want 255 you're looking at 255/35 which is just very slightly shorter (negligible) or you could run the gen1 size 245/40 and should be okay.

If you step down to 17s a 255/40 is just about right

Yeah I returned the tires already. About to go pick up 17x9 +45 enkei rpf1 wrapper in ventus 255/40/17 for a killer deal. I think I'll need a rears fender rolled. This is a common set up on mazdapseed3 if I'm correct. I'll post pics when I get them today. Thanks for the advice

[kryskunka]

I'mBrand new 17×9 ET +45 wrapped in Hankook ventus rs3 255/40/17. Got them for a sweet deal

[whitedevil]

I'm running 18x8.75 +20 on stock suspension and only rubs in the rear on biiig bumps or dips and I currently have a bad rear passenger strut...and where the rub marks are on the tire its like a 1/4" from not rubbing at all so a mild fender roll and itll be cookin

Those are sticking out pretty good. You must of had to put some big spacers on there for sure

nope no spacers those aren't good pics for refrence but the rears stick out a good 1/2-3/4 inch and fronts are alittle less...this shows the dish alittle better

[whitedevil]

you should be good with the set you bought the only possible issue would be the 40 profile tires

[kryskunka]

How so?

[whitedevil]

idk from the pic they seem to be alittle tall for a 2" drop just my opinion you should be fine

[sick_ed]

So I'm looking to pick up some cosmis wheels in 18x9.5 +10 for my 08 MS3. Im riding stock height, but am looking for coils to drop a bit (not slam). Very new to the Mazda community, so any input would be great! Should i be expecting issues as far as having to camber or roll fenders? and having meaty tires? Thanks for bearing with me as i get the hang of this forum.

Those stick out because of the low offset. +20 is a very low offset for this car.
Also, you'll be fine with those set up. 255/40/17 is close to our stock wheel diameter. If you are lowered, you're going to need a fender roll.

@whitedevil; you're going to need more than a MILD fender roll for that offset. prob need -3 degree of cambers lol.

I was looking into Ksport Coils but as of now I might go with BC not sure yet. Your set up looks great though.

[manu]

From what i ve heard from related discussions with BC s they dont always drop as low as some will desire

With thewe new Wider set up you Must upgrade the suspension all around , the oem are made for the 7" stock wheels/tires and there's no tolerance

Wrong. Just stop. That would be absurd to have to upgrade the suspension just because you have a little wider setup. And furthermore, raceland coilovers are far from an upgrade. That is the shittiest suspension on the market for our cars. Stock suspension blows that crap away.

[KiwiFlavor]

I'm on swift springs and stock struts and can fit 9" RPF1s with 5mm spacers in the front.



+1 on no on Riceland.

[manu]

My stock rear right was leaking oil , and had broken bushing, thankfully was under warranty, had then around 30k ,again the following year spring broken bushings, dealer repaired, i really think the oem were very poor quality, or was mine a Bad batch.
Again the front shocks were squeaky on all of the deeper bumbs, had a pretty nasty experience

I ran oem struts/shocks, CS springs, and 9.5" wide miro 398's, 18", no issues what so ever.

Yeah? How many miles on the car? I'm looking into a nice drop next and am debating on doing struts too or just springs. I've read the stockers are garbage. Just want another point of view

Well if so you so happen to go VIP you'll see I have springs for sale used them with stock struts and the setup was just fine.

About 48k miles.

Stock struts is prob around 30k miles on them and 20k miles on Swift springs (Prob even less. I don't feel like doing the math this early lol). I had Ksport coilovers and they blew within a year. To be fair tho, I bought them used so yeah.

No mention of offset or tire specs....wheel width is only one part of the equation

You are correct this is the proper section. I would love to flame you, and normally I would haha but I respect the blue lives matter sticker. Therefore, you sir, have a free pass. Enjoy it, because I don't give many of those away.
