You'll need at least a 5mm spacer up front and a streched tire to clear the stock suspension. You also might need to roll the fenders(not pull) up front. Other than that they will fit.

What do you need to do to fit on a 18" x 7.5" w/ +50 offset? What tires would I need to run to make these fit?

Thanks.

You'll need at least a 10mm spacer for those wheels, 15-20 will give you more tire clearance for something 225 or wider.

Sunk like a battleship- I know.

I just want to see if there is anybody absurd enough to run something w/ the same dimensions as the Mazdaspeed 3 forged wheels... :P

Correct.. MB something whatevers.

They're a 9 +15 stock, and I have a 25mm bolt on, making them a 9 -10. The sidewall is basically constantly touching the fender, I'm not sure that you could fit a human hair in there.

Hey everyone, I've found a set of wheels I really like and I'm having a little trouble figuring out what will fit and what wont. I kinda have a good guess, but was looking for some input

Name:  SSRTypeC-RS.jpg
Views: 275

either this: 17x8 +36 all around

or this: 17x8 +36 front and 17x9.5 +29 rear

It doesn't need to be hella flush, but I want it too look good and was hoping to get a little extra tire in the rear. As for tire sizes I'm still searching this thread on that, but any recommendations would be welcomed.

those are pretty expensive
but yah either setup will work (square or staggered).
you wont be able to fit much tire up front without a spacer tho. maybe 225 max

+36 will not fit with coilovers. I had to space out my Sportmaxx's cause they rubbed my Stance GR+ at full lock.
