Hey all,
I found a set of rims on ebay and i know they will fit on my lugs but I am not sure if the offset will cause any problems on my MX-3

right now my mx-3 is lowered with suspension technique springs on zx2 struts. will my car being this low cause any rubbing with the offset on these rims? (offset is +42)

please help! thanks! :D


also please give me some feedback on these rims. how do you think they would look with my black mx-3 with oem side skirts and mazdaspeed front bumper?


PSSSS :D ....can anyone recommend any tires to fit these rims so they dont rub the body or strut

that offset will work fine.

How wide are the rims?

I have 7x18`s now, and I rub in hard turns and stuff.
(not even on the lowest setting by far, of course, I have GC`s on modded struts. removed stock spring seat and welded rings to the strutbody, so they might be 1/2" or something lower than the stock springseat to start with.)

these rims are 17" x 7" based on what nope said i will probably get some rubbing issues with these rims. if i were to space them out would rubbing be eliminated?
