lol that was the plan for the BBS. I am waffling between selling them and getting a nice track-friendly setup, or keeping them and staying stancey. I've been talking with a TM3 member about buying the BBS, but if he doesn't want them I'm keeping 'em haha
lol yeah might as well get the Nexens... maybe that way I can keep the BBS and just add a track setup in the future![]()
NO CREW

Congrats on the acceptance brodog, that's exciting! If you do matte burgundy you should so some burgundy suede interior bits or something. VIP yo.

What size tires you looking for?
Modifications? I've forgotten more than I remember. Click here for the list.



if you were to get track wheels how wide would you go?



If I kept the BBS and got a track-only setup, probably 17x8 rpf1's with 235/40's. I'd like 17x9 but I don't think I can raise my car high enough to clear 255's



thanks Phil
Yeah hurry up and mount them. 17x9 +35 with 255's
edit: looks like the bumper deal I thought I had fell through
I posted up in the classifieds for one, but might as well mention here that if anyone has an 07-09 HB front bumper for sale (any colour) let me know!

Ok, summer tires are on. Replaced my slicks with Nexens. I heard they stretch well but they do not stretch as nicely as my old FalkensThey seem to run wider too... looks like I'm going to have to do a little more work to make them fit than I had planned on.
Anyway, summer wheels just installed (posted this a while ago in other threads)
Test-fitting 10mm spacer (on the left)
For anyone curious, they are 205/40 up front and 215/40 rear. Will get some decent photos once they're completely done.



Are you running longer lugs with those spacers?



NEWP. 2 turns FTW.
I just took it around the block. My fenders still aren't rolled, and it's undriveable as a result.
I got extended lugs with the spacers I bought from garage16.ca but they don't fit the Mazda 3![]()
Really odd because they were done as a GB specifically for the Mazda 3 on this site. I've just about had it with them...
so yeah I need extended lugs and a fender roll, then she's good to go.
edit: also just installed my old lip. Picked up a new lip from Soyabean this afternoon (actually his fiancee) and that'll go on the new bumper. Big thanks to Ben and Jenny for accommodating my surprise visit and hooking me up big time!

Spacers from G16 that don't fit?
