2010 MS3 Fitment

[VegasMS3]

New to Mazdas and to fitment, so I have a few questions. I have my eyes on a set of TSW Silverstones they have limited options so I am wondering what I can fit with only a fender roll, not sure if I want to get a pull yet. I am currently lowers on BC Coilovers, tucking the rear slightly, would like to go lower, prefer not to go over -3 rear camber as this is my DD. Here are my options:

18x9.5 +20 or +40 offset
18x8 +20 or +40 offset

I want to stick with the Ecstas as they still have plenty of rubber. (225/40/18) I have no problem with stretching. Any ideas or recommendations. I figured I may have to settle with the 18x8 +40 and use spacers to fine tune.

you should buy my advans and i'm coming to vegas next month so i could bring them with me

Got pics?

That is a fantastic idea :-)

You'll have to run spacers with 18x9.5 +40's to clear the strut, and 18x8 +40's are gonna be a little far in the fenders for my tastes. And don't be scared of negative camber, as a moderate amount won't wear out tires quicker... it's incorrect toe that will eat up tires. I honestly think you'd be fine with the 18x9.5 +20's, rolled fenders, and your current tires... just adjust the camber so the tires clear and you'll be fine.

Thank you bigblazer I want to get as close to the fender as possible, so I will probably go with the 9.5s, if I am going to do this I might as well do it right.

lex22pearl, I might be interested in your rims if you want to post pics, stats, and price.

in my sig. those are the advans

[VegasMS3]

Those are so sex dude, whats the specs?

[VegasMS3]

Nevermind dude, I found your post in the WTS section.

[lax22pearl]

should buy them. perfect for a second gen

[VegasMS3]

I am new to all this, but it is seeming more and more to me like 9.5 is going to require more than a simple fender lip roll.

Or it will need more if I want to go lower, right?

[lax22pearl]

to make it look good i suggest a roll, coilovers and dominant eng camber arms. with this setup i didnt have to pull my fenders at all. just a roll and camber but if you dont want a ton of camber you could do a pull.

[VegasMS3]

Define a ton of camber? -4, 5, 6? I want to stay away from a pull right now, not sure if I am ready to be fully committed to a flush lifestyle.

[rgz]

then don't get 9.5

[lax22pearl]

around -5 or -6

[bigblazer87]

Between -3.5 and -4 up front and -4.5 to -5.5 in the rear... mine are +25 and I've just got rolled fenders and I'm running -3.6 up front and -4.9 in the rear and I clear perfectly fine with just a little rubbing of the sidewall in the rear.

[lax22pearl]

there is a more accurate answer lol

[Akira]

Would 19x8.5 +38 be a safer route than +25. Safer meaning less camber/stretch needed.

most defiantly by why would you want 19s's go with 18 and at least 9 width

^^ my bad I ment 18x9.5 with +38
Ive been noticing that 18x9.5 fits better than what I ha wanted before (18x10) so it seems that 18x9.5 ither +25 or 38 I will get.
This weekend I will be installing my coilovers so I'm getting there. Little by little.
