I'll send it, when I get a minute to look.

I'm getting a hold of some 32 offset 18x10s, and will be testing them. I will get pics of my awesome rubbage. They are not my 1st choice of wheels, but they will help me find the right fitment. Also ordered in some 18x9.5s in a +37. Not for me, customer, but gonna see how they fit as well.

oh yeah... the +37 offset is going to stick out alot... should get a 45 for a mazda ...

but... cant wait to see tha pics

can someone please hurry and prove that 18x10 will work without "too much work" on the MS6? I need a reason for new wheels!! ;)

You sure....Cause my +35s are flush as hell. ;)

Test fitting this weekend on the 10's.

Monstar... its sunday... test fit already... post pics man!!

MORE!! LABIAS...(labias=Dish)

anything yet>???

Please see my post on the same topic concerning the predicament I am going through. It's long, but good information to know..

http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/foru...5-40-18-a.html

we are talking about 18x10's ... on a MS6.... not 18x8 on a ms3....

-- the reason your rubbing is your front offset... should have been something smaller... like a 45-38mm... not the tire size...

+ your suspension is too soft.. go w/ a stiffer rate spring.. i ran a 18x9/18x8 set up on my 3 all day long... dropped on Eibach's.. w/ some mazdaspeed sways had no issues... ... & i live in the NorthEast where the roads Suck...

**
always do measurements 1st ... do your research... if it dont fit its on u....
:eek5:

any luck on either?

I had a set of staggered Porsche wheels on my GTI and while looking dope drove like shit when set with the skinny's up front and the fatties out back. when I had them switched around it handled great but looked like shit... I could actually get the rear end to step out at will! I'll look for a pic.

i am going to try 245/40 on 18x8 +50 wheels, I'll let you know all know how it goes in the next couple weekend when I get them

So far no luck, but still waiting on some other wheels. I had an epic fail on our "new" corgi A2024, so I got a new machine coming. Boo. 255s will fit 8.5's...but it needs 9.5-10 to look good. They fit all the way around, but stick out with my offset more than the wheel lip does...so no go. I will get the higher offset/wider wheels soon enough and get some new pics. sorry for the delay. But I did have 255/35/18s on the 6 last night...but just on my 8.5s.

hmm.... 255/35/18 on 8.5 wheels.... sounds tasty
what offset were those wheels? +35?
camber settings F/R?
how much are the sportlines lowered? 1.5?

I really appreciate the effort you're putting in on this to reach your goal - and it sounds like you have the means to try different setups much more easily than the rest of us! Hopefully we can find the maximums! :boobies:

tru that....


id love to see a 18x10 on a ms6..

go buy a vdub if your gonna be gettin staggered tires on a fwd. that shit is hideous

every1 has their own opinion....

sorry didnt mean to come off so harsh :( 2 of my good friends have vdubs and one of em is goin for the "i wanna be so low that i cant even drive while he is driving 19x8 rims? idk that and the whole stretched tire look

but to each their own goodluck on findin a tire that works im curious myself :)

i do love the a nicely done VW... i would pik one up.. if the damn things didnt break all the time.. + who the hell wants to do wheel bearings all the time... heh

but they do have some clean lines.. heh.. although i love my mazda...

Yes, 18x8.5 with +35offset. the 255s were TIGHT. I am running -1.6 front and -2.8 rear.
I am going to try 10inch with a 38offset and hope that gives enough room in the rear, but what I am fearing is that I am going to have to run a staggered offset front and back to achieve the look I want. So....10 in the front with 255 with a +35/37 and rear I have no clue yet....

Damn...beat me to it...

please tell me u arent thinking of running a 18x10 in a reverse staggered set up... as in widest up front...

u should be able to fit the 18x10 all thaa way around.. but yoru deff going to have to run 2 diff offsets... thats just the way it has to be done...

No no no.....18x10 front and back. slightly diff offset on the rear, not width. Duh.
Also...got my promo from Bridgestone last friday. They are allowing me 4 sets of tire per year at 25% LESS than my COST from wholesale. Werd..... RE-01R.

sounds good....


but ...

please post some pics...
pa pa pa pa please!!!

Still no wheels...Snagged some 18x9.5 Blitz wheels, friends, just to test fit and check width...but no other 10s yet. Not alot of people with em just laying around..

whats w/ the noooooB's posting "thanks" & "great" ... that has nothing to do w/ the thread.... its like they are trying to get there post #'s up...

thats LAME....

===========

did u snap some pics of the 9.5 on yoru car...??

i gotta talk to some SUBEY owners... & see if any1 they know has a set of 10 or 11's i can try out... .. .heh

do we have any updates on this thread???

I have no pics to contribute yet, sorry. :(

...waiting for something... spun out in the snow earlier this week.. had my DSC off... got pulled over... & the cop gave me a ticket to have my tinted windows checked... since they are illegal... hah

oh well..

although i would love.. & can actually afford some 18x11 wheels... i think im going to try n save for a house... heh...

let me know what happens w/ the wide shoes...

Still nothing guys, sorry...I kept the 8.5's and am changing tires today, but no 10s yet. Still looking for a the right offset. 245s on 8.5 is giving me a nice tight shoulder, no more stretched look for the 6....till I get the 10's. I was gonna say F it, and order the 9.5s, but I don't want to hate them and have to sell another set of wheels and tires. I will just wait. I will get the pics up of the 245/40s on the 8.5s (35 offset).

tHanks for the heads up...

a buddy of mine works @ a custom car show down in jersey.. i gotta see if he has any set up sitting around. .. maybe i can test fit...

===========

hrmmm okay.. not goin to lie.. im looking @ some asanti wheels..... they look soo dope.. hehehe

so today i swapped my OEM wheels back on... took off my winter rollers-- & i decided to try on the stagg set up i had onthe 3 .. & also tried putting both 18x9" wheels on one side.. just to get a feel for the look....

.. take into consideration.. that the tire size was perfect for the 3.. but way way to small for the 6.. obviously... & yes i know my car needs a drop...

this is all 18x9 (f/r)

so now im thinking maybe a 19x9 or 19x10 wheel... the 10" wide will deff fit in the rear...

if you want roll on those you need drop

thanks for pointing out.. something i already noted...


heh


-----------

they need bigger tires 1st off.... the are 35 series...

+ i dont really like the way they look on the car...

Those are 245/35's on both the 8" and 9"?

Damn, look at those lips. If they were on a woman...

heh.. no 245 on the 9" :: 215 on the 8"

I want to go with 19x9.5 (maybe even a bit wider) on my MS6. Is there any way to make it work??? Gusto, Monstar, what offset do you think would be needed? I'd need them to work for daily driving most importantly. But I also want to have that set up and slam the car at shows with the coilovers.

P.S. - did anyone ever find out the offset to MPSGARAGE's 19x9's?

9.5 will deff fit in the rear... its goin to be hard to shove them in the front...

u live in FL.. so it should be easy for the 19s...

its been a while since ive done the measurements on the wheels.. but im thinkin u should be able to stick a 50-55mm in the rear w/ a 9.5-10 wide rim...

there is a series of calculations u can do .. to know exactly.. if u really want to know. i can post them for u.. then u will know the largest u can really go w/

although im going to boston for the weekend.. so ull have to give me alil bit to psot them...
============================

i should really try that staggered set up on my car.. now that i dropped it.. on mazdaspeed springs...

its hard to find NICE 18x10 that arent a fortune... esp.. if i want to get a motorcycle too.. heh

Tru, yeah those measurements would be cool. No rush man, it's gonna be a while before the wheels are actually purchased. How far would 9.5's or 10's stick out tho? I really don't wanna go past flush. After I saw inside the wheel well, idk if flush can be accomplished with 19x9.5's.
