Figured since I don't post much in this section...I'd start.

I went cheap, these are the Summit Racing Fast Five series

15X4 with a 175/65-15 tire. The front wheels fit after I shaved down the caliper.

17x8 with 26x11.5 MT ET streets

Sorry for the bad angles the car was still on the lift.

 

Looks good!

 

Very nice Eric, looking forward to seeing it in person.

 

Nice! Why the 17's? You wanted less side wall?

 

+1

Looks clean.

 

Looks great! I love FC's.

 

Yeah this size had worked for me so far.. That and I switch between, DRs easily

 

nice

 

Lookin good Eric!

 

Thanks guys. Hopefully the car is a bit more stable with this set up.

 

Now go out and make some passes and post videos!

 

What's your back spacing for the 17".

 

They are 5.29" backspacing

 

Should making some passes at the end of the month..there a few events coming up.

 

You didnt have to use spacers to get the front wheels to clear the caliper? Do you have a shot of the shaving you did on the front caliper to get them to fit?

 

Nope, no spacers. All I did was shave down that casting bump or whatever that is right next to the mazda logo. The backspacing on these are different than the welds.

 

hope you didnt shave it down too much, its a transfer port for brake fluid , i started to do it then it poped and jizzed fluid in me eye , i just ran 3mm spacers sorted

nice seeing 17inch rims, i didnt even notice till someone mentioned it , will be good to see how you go

 

Did the same thing a couple weeks ago. You can take the Mazda off, but can't go too deep into the actual hump.

 

yeh the amount you can safely shave off the hump isnt worth it, small spacers for the win

 

hope that doesnt carry over to the fd calipers. I shaved the himp WAY down almost flat.

 

I have seen someone shave too much down before...sucks. Luckily I didn't shave it too low

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks! Should fire up this week...

 

That's not the first time that something popped and jizzed in your eye is it?

Man, you left the door wide open on that one, sorry, had to do it.

 

how did you know the missus was a squirter .......... hmmmm
