Guys we will discuss the above in the moderators section. Please leave this be for now. Let's get back on topic.
Please play nice and remember sarcasm does not come across well in text..
Id encourage anyone to ensure that whatever fitment they are looking at is legal as some of the 'interesting' fitments ive seen these days are good excuses for insurance companies to NOT pay out claims.
Call me boring but wide tyres on skinny rims or skinny rims with wide tyres are just odd.
Hey Everyone,
im buying a MPS in the next few months and i want to know whats the biggest size and offset ETC i can put on a 06 to 07 Mazda 6 MPS can anyone Help?
it will be on BC coilovers and it will be my daily
Also depends on whether you want to stay legal or not which would limit what can be fitted
"Blue Meanie" 2007 Aurora Blue MPS 3 - 18x8.5+44 SSR GTX01 - 235/40R18 Michelin PS5 - 3.5" ETS TMIC - CPE stg 2 mount - HKS/CPE BPV - 2XS inlet - 2XS short shift - Corksport turbo manifold - HT 98 octane tune - Leather/Aluminium handbrake - Momo shifty knob - 7" touchscreen - JDM Mazda Retractable dashtop screen assembly - Bespoke Raspberry Pi Android based GPS/Carplay and instrumentation - 36AH reserve battery and C-TEK isolator - TEIN Street Advanced coilovers 1" drop - Superpro bushings - 220Kw/410Nm.
"Lipstick" 2013 Velocity Red MPS 3 - 18x7.5+48 Enkei RPF1 -225/40R18 Federal RS-RR - CPE TMIC - COBB inlet - CPE stg 2 mount - COBB Stage 1 98 octane tune - COBB shifty knob - 2XS short shift - 2XS turbo manifold.
What sarcastic said but you can run with less offset say 40 just need to dial in some -camber
Hey guys,
I've searched absolutely everywhere, but is there anyone running 18x8.5 +30 for a gen2 MPS3 on coilovers?
Just wondering how much work is required to fit them and if BC coils will have enough camber to sit them flush?

They will fit, they will be flush (perhaps a small poke that can be fixed with camber) and you will want coils and to roll the rears.
This is 18x8.5 +40 (so another 10mm of poke is what to expect)
I did a test fit on my GEN2 with EVO X rims (18x8.5 +38) and any larger / lower I would have needed to roll the rears and added camber to the fronts.

What degree camber will you be likely to running: Respectable degree of camber. More suited for handling rather than aesthetic appeal.
