RX8 wheels on your Mazda MPS

[240MPS]

Was looking at changing my current tyres over onto the RX8 rims as a short term solution (as Troy did). Got quoted $100 ($25 per wheel) balanced and fitted. Does this sound reasonable?

Not bad...


Brad you go and have a look at the rims today...

Was on the way, but Roller Derby intervened. So no, not today, but will try during the week.

Notice the door moulds have been removed.

That's another popular thing to do to the Mazdaspeed3 in the US. Same theme in black (and another one with 245/40's);

I like the removed door moulds... Hmmmmm

I think it only really works on lowered cars with wheels that fill the guards. Reckon yours would look great Jon

not when i had these. on the standard camber i didnt rub the gaurds

This depends on tyre choice though. Yokohama Advan AD08's aer WIIIIIIDE tyres. Rear guards getting rolled on Wednesday Only a very light roll needed. Coulpe mm tops.

I picked these wheels in Mellbourne a few weeks ago. I need to get new tyres soon. I was thinking of 235/40/19 if any one makes them.

Arrrghhh, they're awesome (said in high pitched, incredulous voice).

Nice pick up. Should be an option for new MPS's.

Hopefully get my RX8 rims on tomorrow. Will sport the std tyres until they wear out.

My car sits about an inch lower than std at the moment with the BC coilovers, So I'll be able to assess how much lower I can go and pick the best tyre size based on that.

So... watch this space!

If you want to see what an AB with removed door moulds looks like have a look at the pics of mine from the most recent cruise in Qld, and some older ones floating around.

[03blk]

Well, I tool the RX8 wheels in for fitment today, which they did.. only to discover the slightly reduced clearance of the front wheels foul on these brackets attached to the coilovers that hold the break lines.

So Friday the car is off to JR Automotive, with the rims, to see if they can modify the suspension. Geoff at JR is confident they can solve the issue.


Hopefully on Friday we can find a solution.


Keep you posted

thats what i paid @ donnelans was a little suprised it was that much ... i think you can get it done cheaper at a smaller tyre outlet... i would ring some places near you to compare..
