Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread
Why does your Passenger seat look a lot lower than the drivers side? I guess tilted more

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.
its basically almost the same setup as mine except mine are a 1/2" wider. it should be flush already without unnecessary camber or fender mods. why ruin your body panels when you don't need to?
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
