I have stock wheels painted graphite gray and I used 25mm spacers all around. I want to lower the car now and I am nit sure if I would have rubbing (Stock offset +50 - 25mm spacers = +25mm offset right now). Please let me know if you guys think I would have rubbing and also what springs do you guys recommend. Also I have not done suspension work before, is it easy todo myself or would it best to get it done professionally?

As far as installing, its easy to do just very time consuming. Get a local to help you out and set a day aside to do it.
It will fit fine and will look good as well. What wheels are you getting?

I know they will fit the 8 but will 18 x 7.5 Mazdaspeed 3 wheels hold a 245/40-18 tire? I can basically get the rims for next to nothing and I have a extra set of tires. ideally I want an 8" or wider and lighter track rim but....... Your thoughts?

I am looking into getting some Enkei PKR rims now that I have some cash (not alot but some) and was wondering which would be better to go with in order to keep the stock size tires. I just had them replaced about 3-4 months ago cause my old Kumho Ecsta where showing some steel cord. I really do not want to spend another 500 or more on tires for a while. I am still on stock rims as well. Here are the 2 options I am wondering about:
1. F&R 18 x 7.5 38 offset
2. F&R 18 x 8.5 35 offset
I am also considering getting some Tein S Tech or maybe H Tech springs, but not for a while
Will this work and if so which one is better to go with?
Thanks

Hm, was thinking about some 18" x 9,5" with 35 offset.
Anyone know if I can fit 265/40 rear on that without it rubbing? Or do I have to go for a 35?
Probably 18" x 8,5" front or so with 225 or 230 x 40 or 35 if I have to.
