R3 Wheel Spacer question
 
ok wanna get some spacers to get them beautiful 19" showing.

is more than 25 mm a good idea?

also i would like to run 255's in the front and 245's in the rear once i get new tires so would like that to fit without any rubbing or issues, (will change tire size i want if it is)

but just more interested in spacer size atm,

and i did search but didnt find a post for r3 and im not sure if they are different.

thanks for any help

Don't run different size tires. The wheels are not staggered. The r3 wheel starts out at 47 offset do some math to decide what tires to go with

Without a drop spacers will look like shit. 20mm or 25mm spacers would work. Do not run different size tires.

And just be aware, if you drop it by much more than the Mazda Eibach lowering springs do, 20mm spacers will rub occasionally (if you're running 245 tyres) when going over bumps at speed and / or with rear passengers. 15mm will be fine, though.

I have 20mm Ichiba V2 on mine. Car is lowered 1" on KW V3s but there is no rubbing and I have not rolled my fenders yet!
