i think he means the Fenders(kit) but the wheels are 18x10.5 +15 all around 245/40 front(will be going to a 235/40 or 255/35 side wall is jut too tall) and 265/35 (will be going to a 275/35 tomorrow) spacers are 17mm fronts and 30mm rears.


Thanks man, its a mazda color used on the cx-9. Its called Grey Galaxy Pearl.
Thanks man!!
And, really? Did you used to have it?
Its actually a 15mm spacer in the front.. So 18x10.5 +0 front and 18x10.5 -15 rear. After thinking about it the 255/35 would be the way I'd suggest on the front. Otherwise the front to rear stretch difference will look a bit off. Can't wait til you get back too so we can slam that thing!
As I was purchasing my FD I knew that seats were going to be one of the first upgrades for this car. The stock seats were showing their age and seats are the equivalent to rims in upgrading the appearance for the interior. Plus, seats made the biggest difference in my s2000.
Here is how the interior started out:

With seat and floor mats removed: Needs some care here.

Before any upgrade can happen this interior needs some work. I vacuumed the entire interior out and shampoo'd the carpet, which left the carpets looking brand new.
Ready for the seats:


Seats - Bride Gias II sport. I'm using Bride LR rails.

Driver

Installed:


The seats are extremely comfortable and provide a lot of additional support for track driving. They also drop the sitting position considerably. Seat belts required some modification to work with the rails. The only downsides of these seats are price and weight. In the past I used Mugen s1r seats in my s2000 and they were extremely lightweight. However, these are just as heavy as the stock leather seats. These seats also don't accept a 5-point harness, which I consider a downside.
