[AustinY]

Just try to roll your rear fender, the piece that won't bend in, is the tab.

[XCNuse]

lol its plastic and part of the bumper at the end of the fender... it's impossible to miss it

Drivable with some rubbing in the rear on dips, but will fix that when I get my fenders rolled

[castner]

18x8.75 +25 with 205/40/18 fit? im looking to go lower than i am currently on tein s techs. how much camber/fender rolling/shaving?

[XCNuse]

Most likely impossible with springs; you HAVE to get coilovers that can adjust camber up front; along with Dominant LCAs, and will have to have Dominant camber arms. You'll have to run like -5 degrees of camber, along with pulling all fenders.

That offset is just to low; it's going to look stupid. Wheels will be poking like 2-3 inches out of the body.

Go with mid to high 30s offset with a width that wide.

[XCNuse]

Should've posted this:

17x8.5 +32

This was at 0 / low front camber.

They now have 235/40/17s on them, and to fit I have hand pulled front fenders and run MAX camber on the BCs and raised the front end a touch.
So far no rubbing except on plastics.

19x8 +35 TSW nurburgrings with 215/35/19 tires fit no problem with 0 camber upfront and -0.5 in the back.

Mazda 3 Sedan, Bc Coilcovers w/ removed collar in the fronts, MB Weapons 17x9 +27, 215/45/17, fenders rolled/shaved in the rear, driveable

Was he using the extreme drop BC's, or the normal set? I'm wondering... with the right drop if a 17x8/17x9 would look good on a sedan. Those look fine.. but seem to share a pretty big wheel gap.

[mzd3TX]

Raceland Coilovers (i dont want to hear it guys im saving up for BC coils!), XXR 521s 18x8.5 +30, 215/40/18s barely rolled fenders front and rear. got about 3.5 inches of drop.

[Grimefunk]

Bc coilovers. Rings taken out upfront. Soon to take out rear perch. Evo x wheels. 18x8.5 on 225/40.
