I have an 07 Mazda 3 Sedan with Mazdaspeed3 Rims (going on BC BR Coilovers soon). What size spacers would anyone recommend for front & rear fitment for a nice tight fitment look?

He said Mazdaspeed3 Rims, so likely 18*7.5 or 18*8

Best to get her all done up then measure. Also need to consider rolling for that nice flush look

Lower first, then buy your spacers

First gen MS3 wheels are 18x7 +52 and second gen are 18x7.5 - don't know the exact offset but I'd imagine around the same.

your going to want to run a huge spacer.. but yes best bet is too drop it. get it sitting how you want then measure how much farther out you want. then order spacers :)

Thanks everyone ! Any idea what what be a good drop on bc br coils, on the level of adjustments? should i keep both front and back evenly dropped? and would you guys recommend me buying rear camber arms along with coils? (because i am trying to get close to 0 camber)

We have plenty of local sponsors that carry them. Nextmod and Alphamotorsports to begin with.

Hi. Quick question. I'm planning to run 20mm spacers in the rear and 15mm for the front (looking at Eibach pro-spacers). Was wondering if you know what other things I need to make it work (ie: bolts, lugs...etc). I'm going to be on gen 2 speed rims. Any help is appreciated! :)

^^^ pretty sure you'll need extended bolts and a fender roll

would you know which extended bolts to get if I wanted to go 15mm in the rear and 10mm in the front?

For 2nd gen speed rims, I have found that you can't run the type of spacer that has a second set of studs, like these

Tried them on my car, and it didn't work with the speed rims, They just don't have the clearance for the studs that are on the factory hubs.

Can I run the spacers without the studs and just get extended studs?

bestknightmare that would be fine. I'm just saying don't try to get those other style cause I already tired and it didn't work.
