Yah, my initial impression was ****, the front end seems so busy now! Such an awkward stage for my car, it will finish up nicely though 
Yah, the 4 pictures are pretty much the exact same place and angles, across the street from my house haha. Got me realizing, I've only got 5 pictures of my car! :-O
Oh yeah, the passenger seat is lower more. I drive pretty straight up and my girlfriend leans it back a bit when passenger.

alright ya'll. I'm tryin to decide on spacers. My current setup is 18x10 +43 with 245/40s.
I've got about -2* or so of camber now and will go more if need be.
I don't mind pullin or rollin the fenders. If I could get away with a 15mm spacer, I think that would be best, because I don't think a 20mm would fit without having like 4* or 5* of negative camber.

I'm on 17x10 +25 with 245, going to get 255 soon, still plenty of space left, I have -2.7 degrees of camber all around.
look for pics on the other pages.

Flush means the lip lines up with the fender, no way that'll happen at 10.5 +43, it barely happens at 10+25.

thinking of getting 10mm spacers soon.

I was inspired by these:
but I wanted something with more of a lip, so when I stumbled upon the NT03+M design I knew I had to have them... it took me a full day of searching the interwebz (aka Monday, the second day I had the car haha) to find a used set nearby in the the size and offset I wanted (I hate the way they look when the spokes are bubbly instead of concave)
Stats:
18x9.5 +27
18x10.5 +30
It needs a drop BAAAAADDDDDD, but I couldn't wait until my springs arrived to put the wheels on...
Before
After
They rub pretty bad when I take sharp turns... I ordered a set of MS springs before I put the wheels on not fully realizing how aggressive the wheels were going to be. I have a feeling the MS springs won't be on very long... I'm going to need some stiff **** to pull this off... and probably a good pull of the fenders.

My springs are supposed to get here on the 28th... we'll see how much a drop mazdaspeed really gives and then see how badly I still rub haha... I won't be surprised if I end up buying coilovers next month. I think the only reason I went with the springs to begin with was the price point... snagged them off ebay for $115 shipped
