The official "Will this fit??" thread!

[Aitch]

Have we had the offset vs backspace debate yet?

Do we need to debate? It's a pretty simple calculation and your image sums it up.

07 mz3 sedan

Enkei Raijin wheels - 18x8, +45mm, tires are 225/40ZR18, lowered on tein s-techs, stock struts (not sure if this matters)

Would appreciate some input

Edit: wheels were +40

Update: this setup WILL fit

[hex]

Besides a big stretch on a big side wall? Yes.
Get 215/35 for sportlines or 215/40 and a roll of the fenders is a must.

215/35 on a 17..????? ya smokin something

I must be missing something, I ran 17x9 +35 with 205/45 on the rear of my 07 sedan. Needed a light roll.

Now 17x8.5 +30 on the front is only a half inch wider than the 17x8 +30 I had, so marginally you should be ok. Did a very minor phone-book fender pull to make mine work.

What i'm getting from this is really mixed. Am i able to do it with a fender roll, or would i actually have to swap tires, which isn't ideal.

Original question:

gen 1
17 x 8.5 +30
205/45 tires
yellows
possibly switching to sportlines.

any issues?

I think youd be okay, but might need a roll possibly

roll for sure.

i know i keep asking, but i'd rather take heat for asking than miss out on a good opportunity.

Ryan (SomeGuy) is doing a Corksport group buy. i know Corksport has a (new?) lowering spring that claims 2.25" front and 1.75" rear drop.
any issues?

to reiterate my specs:

gen 1 sedan
17x8.5 +30
205/45 series tires

[Aitch]

Probably a minor roll in the back, and at least a minor roll/pull in the front.

[Kiyomi]

just about to order 18x9 +45 work xd9s putting them on 2013 speed3 what tires would you guys reccomend and do you think i can get away with not rolling fenders?

245/40/18. should be okay for no fender rolling.

Make sure they have the springs in stock. I wanted shocks/strust but they are sold out

I need some guidance please,

Enkei RPF1 Silver

Lowered - about 1.5"-2.0"

Wheel size - 17"
Wheel Width - 8"
Wheel Offset - +45

Tire Size - 205/50/R17

Camber - Stock

Spacers - None

I have a couple of questions,

1) I'm ordering from 1010tires.com since it seems to be the only online dealer I could find that is Canada-based, when I searched for packages, those rims with those tires came up. Will the 205 tire-width be enough for 8" rim-width because the 205 tire-width is for the stock 17x6.5 +52.5mm mazda 3 oem rims?

2) What would be an ideal tire size?

3) Will this fit?

4) Will I rub a lot? I'm trying to go for little to no rubbing at all.

[Aitch]

There is little to no chance of rubbing unless you're super low. Those tires are fine on 8" wide rims.

Have you tried to look in our sponsor section? I ordered mine from simplytires.... unless your not located in the Toronto area.

Yeah unfortunately I don't live in Toronto area, I was hoping this forum would reveal to me Canadian online dealers

@ninjaremix

I have 205/45 series tires on an 8.5" wheel, very light stretch.

[ninjaremix]

One of the representatives at 1010tires.com said that for the 17x8 225/45R17 are the compatible tires but I've decided to go with the 17x7.5 +48 offset to completely obliterate rubbing, but I'm not sure what the best tires are, my choices are 225/45R17 or 215/45R17.

I want a comfortable ride with the best durability and little to no rubbing if thats possible

17x7.5 +48? you're probably going to need spacers to keep that setup flush with the fenders.. you're better off getting the 8"wide rim

[ninjaremix]

I chose that because I got too afraid of rubbing when I'm driving fast and accidentally running over pot holes. I just ordered the wheels and tires 2 minutes ago, haha, I just wanted to rip that bandaid fast If in a case in which I need spacers, I actually am currently running spacers with my rims right now

[GWN]

Just gotta dodge them potholes man, always dodge the potholes.

If you're looking to keep em flush, that setup will be nowhere near it unfortunately

Will spacers do?

If you wanna run 25mm, maybe

Assuming appropriate center bore dimensions, they should all fit. You might want to double check that with the seller though, before purchasing. Should be equal to or more than 67.1mm

1 and 2 are stunning wheels, especially 2

[Nooby31]

I currently have 225/40/18 on my 2010 mazda 3 sedan that is lowered on pro kits. I find the ride somewhat harsh so just curious if it is okay to buy 225/55/18 or even 225/60/18 without having any rubbing or fender issues.

thanks
