looks good phil.

i just put on my 18x9.5 +35 fn01rc's. pics soon! the fronts clear the fenders perfectly but the rears rub on the black piece near toward the back of the car in the wheel well. i rolled the fenders and it still rubs so i'm pretty sure it's not rubbing the fender.

philsbluerx8

i know
my front are rubbing!!!but i dont know from where. i went to the place where the tires are mounted at. they just said my front-left tie rod is loosened. but the squeaking sound is from the right front one.i am still wondering what the problem is. i will let mazda check it!

here are mine

18x9.5 +35







^STOCK suspension!!!!

I approve :D

I will definitely be running 255/40s as my next set of tires. That looks really good.


<---- super jealous of t3h bronze on white.

haha thanks! i really like the wheels as well. the rears rub a bit on bumps and driveways and stuff but i have my fenders rolled so i think its rubbing on the black plastic pieces.

i really like the wheels kelv
but to be honest, you should get another set (19''s)
i think your car will look so sick with TEs
just my cup of tea.

the tires kelvin is running are falken rt-615, which is wider than regular street tires even with same size. if you put 255/40/18 regular street tires on these rims (18x9.5), it will have a more stretch look. another option is 265/35/18, that's the size i am running on 18x9.5 +35,

kelvin, you should find that plastic corner piece be shaved off a little bit already?

boanjangnararmine

yeah i made this choice for now but i have not forgotten about the TE's. the 5zigen's will be easier to replace (cheaper) so they will be driven on track. the TE's will be my street wheels. i will most likely get 19"s for those ;]

boanjangnararmine

i actually looked at it and felt the plastic a little but i couldnt really see or notice any of it rubbing off. is it possible that it is rubbing at a different point?

if you can feel that corner piece being shaved off even just a little bit, that's it. you should have plenty of clearance other than that corner piece. by the way, you should go to the alignment shop and have it done. try this set-up when you are at the alignment shop: front camber -1.5, rear camber -2.0

you can also call sky for the alignment shop.

boanjangnararmine

all right i'll give sky a call.

thanks!

Just got my FN01R-C wheels put on at a fairly big name tire shop and came out the next morning and all four tires were flat. I got my car back to the tire shop and told them about the grommet replacement mentioned on this board and after an hour of them working on it they said they couldn't get the grommets back on as the 5Zigen stem hole is smaller than the stock Mazda wheel's stem hole. Did you get aftermarket grommets and if so where did you get them?

They ended up taking out the tpms system until I can get this figured out.

trainoffools

Well even though my TPMS is giving me PMS...I frickin' love my new wheels. Behold, I am a Zigen Wheelsbitch.

Sunk wheels ftl.

But the color goes really well with your car and I definitely approve of the tires.

I can't even afford those tires with my employee discount haha.

philsbluerx8

yours looks extremely sick, boanj.....i should have bought a white one but....like your car style, exactly what i was dreaming about...

boanjangnararmine

haha thanks phil. i'm gussing your 8 is blue? blue looks awesome as well! i think if i had a blue 8 i would get white fn01r-c's.. probably would have to paint them lol

dshiznit1489

5zigen FN01R-C's

18x8.5 in the front

I'm in love...

You just helped me make up my mind Dshiznit1489. I've been trying to find rims I like for my 05 Winning Blue 8. What tires did you end up going with? Oh, and those are silver right?

dshiznit1489

lol, glad i helped you make your decision! yea, silver, they are bridgestone RE050's in the back and dunlop direzzas in the front. The right now have Nitto and Fuzion tires, but im putting on the Dunlops this week.

thebiggdaddy

^do they have those in 19's? i think they would look even better if they had 19's.
