I REALLY like the way your car sits now, it looks great. You'll need about an inch more for the 18x9 +20 fronts, you'll have just a tad more room than you do now with the +35, maybe a quarter of an inch

 

Yea i do like the way my wheels fit, but since i got my rears flared and roll a bit more today, im thinking the 10.5 will look really nice and if i have any problem i can always get a pair of spacers so if i do get the 18s ill get +25 fronts and +20 rears then




I know, i do really like how the car sits with the wheel fitment, but whats bugging the crap out of me now is the big *** gap i have from the ground to the front lip lol, i have the coilovers set really low but the 19s just dont let me go down an inch more and if i get the 18s the setup will be 18x9+25 fronts and 18x10.5+20 rears

 

camber is your friend

 

I thought playing with the camber on FDs its a pain in the *** and not as easy as others

 

it is, and you don't get much adjustability from the factory, but you should be able to get enough to fit those wheels and tires

 

From my understanding you can get about 2.5° camber stock. For more then that you need to either get eccentric pin bushings, or an eccentric bolt kit if they make them for the FD.

 

Oh ok, hopefully i will be able to fit them without having to play with camber, all tho a little negative camber doesnt sound bad lol

 

You probably wouldn't have to run very much camber with those offsets. As long as you flare the rear.

 

Oh cool, we'll see how it goes if i get to get them soon since the buyer i had for the 19s backed out, and wont buy the 18s untill i sell the 6 wheels i have lol

F 18X9.5 +30 225/35/18 (wider tire will fit for sure)
R 18X10.5 +30 265/35/18

Fenders rolled flat

 

Absolutely gorgeous man! MOAR PICS! How much camber are you running in the front?

 

^^agreee more pics please!

 

Holy **** that's hot. I'll be in the Bahamas on a cruise in June, I wanna see this in person LOL. I'm serious though.

Definitely more pics. Also, what suspension are you running? Mine won't let me go that low in the rear.

 

I am not sure what the camber is at, its how the car settled when I dropped it. As for the suspension its springs with a coil removed, this was a temporary setup until coilovers. Couple more pics:

 

18x9F / 18X10R Special order Volk wheels
Tires: 235/40ZR18Front / 265/35ZR18-Rear

 

huh... never really been a fan of those wheels, but they look all right on the FD, maybe a little too bright for my taste though.

 

I'm probably the 1st to do this and the thought of it is pretty funny but i think it looks good so far. These are the wheels from the convertible FC. Main reason i wanted to try these out is bc of the mesh style and the Mazda logo center caps. LoL

30mm spacers all around, will change the rear out for 35mm.

15x6.5 +10 all around tire size are 225/60/15 R 215/60/15 F





The rear is on jack stands, that's why my pictures are more focus on the fronts.

Lowered with blown shocks and cut springs.LoL j/k Currently on Koni shocks and racing beat springs. Which is perfect height for this setup.imo

 

if you like that you might wanna try and locate some JDM vert wheels, they're 16s

 

HighBoost242 your car looks great. Hopefully mine looks as good when I'm finished with it.

 

15's actually fit? I thought u could only go down to 16's. Badass

 

Yah i know about those but i've only seen 1 set for sale since i've been here and that was like a year ago.
15s will only work with spacers to clear the calipers.

 

Could someone recommend to me what offset I should be looking for in a 18X9/18X10 or 19X8/19X9.5 rim combination?

I'd like to run 245/255's on the front with 285/295's on the rear.

I have the Burnout wide-body front and rear fenders, and Tein coil-overs.

I would like a flush fit, but not something CRAZY. I don't want stretched tires, or fender-scrubbing as I'm driving through San Diego's already crappy roads..

 

 

wheel name and specs please
