My rims as most know already are 17x10 5Zigen Fnor1-C Redline/Timeattacks.

Previous tires were 245/45 Nitto NT-01s. I currently run 245/45 Kumho XS and have a track set of 255/40 Nitto NT-05s.

Maybe you should let the owners of the car post their pictures so we know the wheel brand, size, and specs of the wheel. Or at least find out the information and post it for them...


Just sayin...

Nice Speed6! A lot of people say not to put anything wider than an 8" rim on those, LOL. I remember when trying to sell my previous wheels on my local Mazda club the 6 and 3 guys didn't want them because they were too wide- 8.5"

Sick ms6 dude! Can't drop it a little bit more? haha

A friend of mine had a mazdaspeed6 for a while but never got around to wheels. The speed6 community is very conservative, much like the rx8 community used to feel.

the reason i didnt lower the 6 any more in the rear was because everyone always wanted to utilize its space. everywhere i went i was 4 deep in it, and it would scrub the diff on the ground damnear. so i kept it at a rake stance.

i am going to do something pretty sick with the rx8 soon, i am just torn between 18' and 19' since i got a r3 i kinda dont want to step down, but then again, i might do it... esp, if someone wants to buy the r3 wheels, lol.

Nice wheels. But, those don't look like torques to me. They look like the Rota G-Force.

^Then find out the specs of their wheels and ask them if it is ok to post their picture...Posting a picture without any information about the wheels is just pointless..

I'd rather see pictures of aggressive fitments than nothing at all. If specs are unknown they can remain that - unknown.
