  1. Sticky: Re: The official "Will this fit??" thread!

    You'll be fine.....they're a tad taller but nothing that will be that noticeable.

    Overall diameter of the 215/50r17 = 25.465"
    225/40R18 = 25.087"
  2. Re: Stiffest and Highest Suspension set up

    One thing to keep in mind is; Springs control the ride height and shocks control the ride quality. Don't get me wrong, they do have a direct relation but changing shocks to get a stiffer ride will be...

    Re: NBA FInals!!!

    I went to bed last night with Miami leading by 14 points and approx 5 mins left in the game. I woke up this morning and heard that Miami had lost...WTF?
    I can't believe I missed that ending!!! I...
  5. Sticky: Re: The official "Will this fit??" thread!

    You could run taller sidewalls but it will affect the speedometer, abs, traction control (if equipped), etc. I would not recommend changing the overall height of the tire.
  6. Sticky: Re: The official "Will this fit??" thread!

    You shouldn't have any issues. Slightly wide in the tire but the offset on the rim will help in preventing any rubbing issues.
  7. Sticky: Re: The official "Will this fit??" thread!

    You will not have to cut anything. If you're using a proper spacer (i.e. Eibach) they provide all the hardware necessary to insure a proper fit.
  8. Sticky: Re: The official "Will this fit??" thread!

    You should be okay but without seeing the wheel design it could go either way. Sometimes even though all the numbers make sense the wheel style prevents it from working. If it's a dish style wheel...
  9. Sticky: Re: The official "Will this fit??" thread!

    No. What happens is all the dimension are taken from Centerline so the extra 1" width on the 17x8 only equates to and extra 1/2" inside and 1/2" outside. Theoretically it would equal a 17x8 +42mm

    Re: Suspension question

    Typically everything is covered under the 3 year 60K comprehensive warranty. However, if you're just over you may be able to contact Mazda Canada and they may be able to do something for you. Not...
  11. Sticky: Re: The official "Will this fit??" thread!

    To accurately gauge if you will rub. First start by taping a plumb bob (i.e. string with a weight tied to the end) to the fender down the centre line of the wheel.
    Second, measure the distance...

    Re: COPS FTW lol

    I wish this happened more often!!!
  13. Poll: Re: when do you plan on switching from winters?

    Typically I like to wait for two things to happen;
    1. Temperatures reach a constant of 7 degrees +
    2. All the road salt has been washed away

    Over the last couple of years it's usually been the...
  14. Re: If you had almost any colour choice for your Mazda 3, which would it be?

    Definitely the pearl white....It is the sleekest colour.
  15. Re: 2010/Prokits/Yellows - 17" or 18"?

    +1 for using the Koni sale as an excuse to buy the new suspension.

    17" Pkg - Definitely less expensive...especially in the tire aspect....in most cases.
    18" Pkg - Definitely handle better....will...
  16. Re: what brand of engine oil you put on your car and what grade?

    European brands Like Total, Elf, Fuchs...just to name few...are manufactured to more stringent regulations. In order for a oil to be considered "synthetic" in Europe it must be refined to a 4 step...
  17. Re: HAWK HPS HB478F.605 vs HB571F.605

    Actually, they share the same share the same FMSI number, which would make them interchangable. But if it helps I have both styles in stock. PM me for pricing if needed.
  18. Re: Shell V power... not ethanol-free anymore?

    It could be a winter thing only.....most of the time it's used to prevent water build up within the tanks and create easy startup in the cold weather months.
  19. Re: what brand of engine oil you put on your car and what grade.?

    I agree, but typically if your purchasing any sythentic oil it will provide you with better protection and stability. But comparing synthetic oils a European brand is always a better option over a...

    Re: NFL PLAYOFFS!!!

    I was a little surprised to see Akers miss those...especially that chip shot from 34 yards. He's usally money. That game could have gone either way but I'm still in shock at how well the seahawks...
  21. Re: what brand of engine oil you put on your car and what grade.?

    Typically if you're one to change the oil on a more frequent basis, I will have to agree that as long as you're using a good quality oil it doesn't make a huge difference. However; if you drive hard...
  22. Re: How to make my exhaust quieter inside the car?

    This is a tough one. I have to agree Zakman, one of the best ways to remove the seats and interior carpet and insulate with a product like dynomat.
    The only thing you could try is spraying the...
