18x7.5 MazdaSpeed 3 wheels on the 8
 

Anyone dropped down to a 7.5 wide wheels before? I love the look of the R3 wheel but can't justify spending 2k on them. MS3 wheels are 18x7.5 w/ a 53mm offset. Thoughts? Would just be using them for daily driving.

wheni bought my car in 08 it had aftermarket 18x7.5 wheels on it and i havent gotten around to buying new ones yet. havent had any problems but i will but wider wheels one of these days

Why go to a smaller wheel with a worse offset! It will look bad. If you just want the looks just find some similar aftermarket wheels that are 18x8 atleast with the offset being smaller then stock (50)

A buddy of mine has them on with 25mm spacers. He claims they work better with the stock size tires.

Thanks Pieper

i have my wifes speed 3 rims on my r3 for summer tire's atm they fit fine but are def tucked in more than my stock r3 rims

I have Ms3 wheels on my car with 25 mm spacers and 245 tires. They work fine for me and still look good.
