HellaFlush mazda3s?

[Tokic_o]

I'm waiting to hear about all those people wearing shorts cutting up their legs walking around the car or loading up their trunk. Much less reversing into something that will push the exhaust in. ugh. no thanks

+1 those ehxaust pipes are stupid

not a fan of the rims on the speed but stance looks sick!

Dave, if i have 50mm offset on my wheels what size spacers should i look for to give me a more flush look?

[Dave_The_BMXER]

How wide are your wheels? If they are 7" like mine you need lot of spacer. Hence why I am looking for new kicks passively.

[Kappa]

They are 7.5

[Hives]

looks okay, not practical on Toronto streets though

[Dave_The_BMXER]

They are 7.5

You'd need like at least 20mm or so spacers I'd say. I am at et38 with 7" wide and not close to flush

[hincapie]

so when it snows in the GTA, what do all the "hellaflushers" do? I guess their winter steel aint so flush anymore....it all looks good but how practical is it?

[stevenma188]

^ They raise their car? HellaFlush is pretty much only for looks.

thanks man i am guessing that 20mm spacers are not going to be cheap but ill pm peter and see thanks for the help!

at 20mm, you will not only need spacers, but extended studs.

My 17x8 +40mm is flush in the front, camber is the only thing that doesn't make it rub. In the back, at full down I hit the inner wheelwell. Found out last weekend when camping, might have to look into rolling.

Hibernate, rock steelies, winter beater, all depends on the person.

All cars look like crap in our winters anyway

at 20mm, you will not only need spacers, but extended studs.

Or those spacer/lug combos. But ya eventually it becomes less practical to space and more practical to buy the correct wheels

lol i see my car has made its way into here from way back then.

my old wheel setup

ive been through a couple wheels setups since then but here is my latest.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

^ Hey man I just posted your car above too been following your wheel swapping ways for awhile now.

[Nextmod]

thanks man i am guessing that 20mm spacers are not going to be cheap but ill pm peter and see thanks for the help!

yup yup we have spacers with build in studs =)

[Dave_The_BMXER]

New challenger approaches:




I need to find some new wheels soon...

[stevenma188]

Man that thing looks hot!

[azn_outlaw]

Dont forget

to become a memeber of the CAA, cause not only will you be needing it, but you get an awesome CAA sticker as well


that sticker will be as mandatory as the other standard stickers associated when running hella flush and will let everyone know you are hella flush

[Dave_The_BMXER]

I have CAA

The last setup I posed doesn't have that much stretch to be a serious issue so long as he keeps an eye on his tire pressure.

[jcutner]

i would be so horrified of coming anywhere CLOSE to a curb in these cars

[sumTHAIguy]

hey dave, i saw you post on my friend's stanceworks thread saying that you got new springs,catridges, and lock rings from bc? is it a shorter cartridge or are you just getting a new one? i bought shorter springs already but i cant super slam because i have to to send mine in soon to rebuild them and if they have shorter cartridges then i might as well get them. lol trying to go as short of coilover body as possible. lol enlighten me prease!

[Dave_The_BMXER]

I got shorter cartridges, shorter springs, and smaller lock rings. Here is how it sits now: http://twitpic.com/23vddu
