    Mazda 3 stancing help

    Well, I'm seeking opinion regarding plans for my Mazda. I've got a 2008 Mazda 3 sedan and I'm going to slam it, or want to anyways. My plans are as follows:

    Wheels: 18's - Undecided
    Tires: Bridgestone low profiles - undecided
    Suspension: BC Racing Coilovers
    Side skirts: finding oem sport mazda skirts

    So the plan is to drop the car 2.5" - 3"... and so far I haven't seen any clean Mazda 3 sedans done right and I plan to be the first.

    What is everyone's thoughts on my idea? Here are some wheels I am looking at

    Please keep all comments constructive. I don't really care what you have to say regarding my wheel choice. Any ideas on if this setup would work or not?

      18s are too big for a mz3 to try and get low lows, go with 17s

      1st wheels will be easier to fit. 2nd ones would be extremely difficult (lots of pulling and stretching tires). and seeing as how you just threw up a random thread with out checking here or another mazda forums (mazda3forums.com has a 100+ page thread dedicated to this shit) it looks like your gonna wanna go with the easy route. i think ive seen 1 ms3 with white mb battles with 18x9.5+15 and he has super poke. there is also a blue mz3 sedan (manny) with 17x9 that looks good. cant get to my messages with him to get you the specs...

      so, 17x8.5+30
