hey everyone!
so this is my first post, ive got a 2012 Mazda 3 hatch, skyactiv (first car). Looking to buy a set of Enkin GTC01RR rims. Im hoping to do 18x9.5'' with a 35 or 45 offset. Has anyone done this before?
thanks!

are you lowered ? Are you planning to lower the car ? If yes to either question, what springs/shocks/coils ?
Are you willing to roll your fenders ?
That width 9.5" is very aggressive and is not a simple setup.

No I am not lowered, probably not planning on it, yes I am willing to roll fenders. Thanks for the reply probably best to do a simpler fitment for the first one.
I'd say do what it takes to achieve the look you want. Don't settle with something else otherwise you may regret and end up spending more money modding again after.
I've done that fitment on my civic doing it to this car is gonna be fun..IMO I've always went with a bit more of an offset just for clearance...for the Mazda 9.5 sits flush with the fender so if your going to lower it pre roll your fenders or u will rub other then that if staying at stock height u shouldn't really have any issues unless u had a good bump...gl with the build and hope u put pictures up soon
I'm using a 17x9 with a 33 (IIRC) offset running 255/40 all round. It JUST fits on the car with no issues.
I also have 18x8 33OS and 18x8.5 30 OS on the rear. Unfortunately I can only have a 225 all around on these rims. For whatever reason it rubs when I have people in the car with a 255 on the back.
The rims are VERY flush with the body. Rears are rolled and the car is slightly lowered. That should give you a good idea aggressive figments
