Calling all 5ZIGEN owners
 

So I finally got some pics up and know there have to be some other 5Zigen owners. Let's see them guys and gals...

Bronze FN01R-C 18x8.5 +38mm on 245/40/18 Kumho Ecsta SPTs

great color choice.

oh here I come: 18x8.5" 5Zigen Super6's:

Please excuse my poor photography skills!

Not too many 5Zigen owners here.

i guess that's good. it makes for a more unique experience and i know i'm certainly happy with the quality and look of mine. of course it would be nice to get a good thread going with others. there have to be more out there.

You're missing a valvestem cap.

not my ride....you can pm GHOST for info on his setup. 17'' Zigens.

I know. The PO put aluminum caps on there which, according to Mazda, cause rust on the TPMS sensor stems and can damage the unit, so I took them off. Haven't gotten around to new plastic caps.....yet

Those are really nice. Did you have to do any fender rolling? About what offsets could I expect to use without worry about fender rolling on 18" tires. Or is it only a concern with larger tires?

i'll post some pics in here of my +48 fno1r-c when i find the charger for my camera.

Here are my winter wheels (scratch winter, we don't have real winters here in NC these are my below 40 degree wheels) , gunmetal super 6's with 245 40 p zero nero m+s's.

thank you. no fender rolling here at 38mm offset

here ya go. need some better shots, but what do you guys think?

what size are you running?

Do you guys have to use hubcentric rings?

BTW Nice thread. 5Zigen looks hot - a lot of their ads run the 8 nowadays.

mine are 18*8.5 on tein basics drop set at 1inch. yes, there's a hubcentric ring, unfortunately. that's a small plastic ring that the wheel sits on, right? it's small and almost unnecessary, but i put it on there.

i think they look sweet. the center cap says: try harder. heh, i love that.

okay, so my other post from a few hours ago isn't there anymore. in any case for 414to212 i have hubcentric rings.

and myriad, it might just be me or maybe it's because of the drop you have that i don't but the 10mm difference in offset between our offsets definitely makes a difference. i keep wanting to lower mine but am worried about rubbing with my +38 offset since i'm pretty close now.

i like the look of the lower offsets too, but i worry about performance. i figured the factory had a pretty good reason for the +50, so i wanted to stay close. i like em tucked under though too. classic performance.

i think you'd be fine with a drop. i actually had it all worked out because i was going to get the +38. They're more concave. Tight.

oh yeah, i have 3degrees negative camber too. so that makes it appear tucked a bit more. handles like a dream though.

any other 5zigen owners?

I've already shown these pics in the Aftermarket Wheels thread but I guess I should put them in here too for any future searches and to support this 5Zigen thread. :)
