Wooh, they look great but surely you couldn't fit those in the wells. Anyone has a real picture with the wheels on the car. Looks great with that offset but I am sure it won't fit

According to the ssr japan website.
http://www.speedstar.co.jp/collectio...sp1/index.html scroll down to wheel matching, click on Mazda, and then click the blue button to the left. Hopefully they know more about their own wheel than you do; it'd suck if somebody went with that offset and it didn't fit

SSR knows their wheels, you just don't know how to read their chart. If you refer back to it, under the wheel size and offset, "17x9.5J +35", there is "(MD)" which stands for "Medium" (as opposed to "Super Low", "Normal", or "Hyper"), and it's in reference to pad clearance. Being that the stock FD offset is +50, doesn't it make sense that it would be preferable to run something closer to that, like a +43 as I mentioned above? That offset is available in a 17x9.5. I was considering buying Professor SP-1s and this was the offset that was recommended to me by the shop that was going to import them.

20 inch spinners of course!! Come on guys....
Id go with a 5 spoke 18 inch wheel. They usually look the best. Though I like what one member on here has done (sorry dont know name) with his red FD he has black BBS with a red lip. Looks really good, and definately unique.

it all depends on what you have done to your car. Some bodykits highlight mesh whells, while the more sleek stock lines look better with a 5 star. post a pic of your car and i'll give you my honest opinion
