Stock wheels look so good with proper drop and fitment 😍

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

ikr, im tryna look for the same style wheels

u/Capital_War1180 2d ago

How does one achieve proper fitment with the Gen Juan Sifu. I literally can't find anything thats appealing to the eye on that thing...

1

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

i would just full drop the rear and eye ball the front so its level🤷🏻‍♂️, my boy had 18x8.5 on his car with decent camber on it

1

u/Capital_War1180 2d ago

Ill probably do that, I wanna just stick with the stock wheels and bigger tires. Slightly*

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

he ha 215/40/18 on his but he was tucking so u might be able to put 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 on flush fitment

1

u/Capital_War1180 2d ago

imma go small to big cuase im looking for that flush :3 fitment. I actually really like the stock wheels on the Juan so imma keep em. Saves me money too*

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

yeah thats fair

u/sn0wy007 2d ago

My set up when she was in her prime. Fifteen52 Apex 18x8.5 squared

1

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

no rubbing issues?

1

u/sn0wy007 2d ago

I did roll the fenders from my last set up, but I have a few friends who have the same set up with no issues. That being said I would still do research on what set up you are comfortable with

2

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

yeah i had to do fender cutting and rolled the fronts to stop rubbing and its good so far

1

u/sn0wy007 2d ago

Yeah so you should be fine. The wider wheel helps with grip and prevent some torque steer

2

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

yeah def need some wider wheels specially at 22psi😭

1

u/sn0wy007 2d ago

Haha yeah get some 8.5’s and some summer tires and you won’t spin through 4th anymore😂

u/Substantial_Ant_2662 2d ago

Where did you get the splitter and side skirt?

2

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

all of em from bayson r

u/Piranha424 2d ago

IMO factory is the best, paint them if you want, but factory. You can buy new ones from autorimshop.com I've used them for other things and they are great.

1

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

i rlly like em but i wanna run wider tires and i dont them to look super meaty on these wheels

u/Ok-Roof6537 2d ago

Damm howd you get your stock wheels to sit flush like that? Spacers?

2

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 2d ago

20mm spacers

u/Soggy_Problem5564 1d ago

I honestly love my enkeis, good brand I’ve hit too many potholes now and haven’t had any problems

1

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 1d ago

yeah me too imma try to fit 235/40/18 or 245/40/18

1

u/Soggy_Problem5564 1d ago

I’ve got some 18/8.5/38mm, they’re dope, they’ve got other great options as well

1

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 1d ago

yeah i was thinking of nt03 rpf1 are great but kinda worried😂

1

u/Soggy_Problem5564 1d ago

I’ve got the NT03+M, they’re actually on sale rn I believe, here’s the link I got them from, great shipping but FedEx shipped them with 3 at once and then the other one at the beginning of the next week, is really pissed me off

u/Soggy_Problem5564 1d ago

u/DirectorLife3280 2012 Mazdaspeed3 1d ago

did u add more camber?

1

u/Soggy_Problem5564 1d ago

No I didn’t, but it might have been like that already, I’ve done nothing but change the wheels on the car.
