WHEEL SPACERS

[jay93]

well since i didn't find a clear thread about a question for wheel spacers.....

i'm running 195/65/15 winters on my 3 right now (reason being winters is cus one of my tires popped on the inner sidewall on saturday somehow so yeah....)
anyways question is what size spacers would i use to make my wheels flush with the fenders and with spacers on will my aftermarket lugnuts still screw in enough the properly secure the wheels?

1) You're running 15" rims.... you don't try.
But, if you have to be that guy.... you have to tell us the offset and width of your rim, which I'm going to go ahead ang guess +42/45 6.7/7". If so......35mm?

[jay93]

so not even worth it? i dont know to much about offsets and blah so what about summer rims i have 205 50 17 on stock mazda 3 rims again flush with fender

You're probably not lowered, so no, it's not worth it. It will look silly.

tein s tech springs that's how i'm low

Well then, 1st or 2nd gen? 1.5" still isn't much of a drop for the flush look. And I stick with my original statement of 25-30mm

still not worth it with 15's. Wait until summer when you have your regular wheels on, then look at your options again.

i should have said i have the springs on in the first post its about 1.5 drop barely can see the gap in the front wheel wells

You want to buy rims and want to be flush? You need a roll to be fully flush.

If you want rims I'll sell you mine with a set of 25mm and 10mm spacers for a bargain

all the info again....06 mazda 3 2.0l running 205.50.17 on stock mazda rims during the summer lowered on tein s-tech springs basically my tires are in the wheel well and i want them flushed with the wheel well

[S.F.W.]

you probably need a 20mm spacer, maybe 25 to be close to flush. Better option..sell stock wheels, buy new wheels with proper offset.

you're tucking on s techs? did you cut them? I'm dropped well over 2.5" on my coils and barely tuck tire.

to reiterate what's been said, not worth it to flush out 15" wheels, wait until summer and buy new wheels with the desired offset. if you really want spacers, you need at least 20mm
