i have a black mica 2008 mazda 3 lowered 1.6 front and 1.1 rear im getting rota sdx sports bronze 17 x 7.5 bu ti have no idea bout offsets and i need some advice for an agressive stnce but not too aggressive i guess to fill out the wheel well so there isnt a huge gap from my tire to the fender

 

go with a 18x8.5 wheel with a +45 offset. your stock offset is either +50 or +55 i cant remember..it depends how much of the rim you want to stick out from the fender.

 

well i dont want any to stick out and 18s are to big the roads here suck lol and i went with the base model with steelies but i want an almost flush with the car just a tiny bit in to the wheel well

 

oh and your mazda looks sick

 

i have the exact same trim..came with hubcaps and steelies. well 17's will do too..but there is such a wide selection of them. some of my friends are running rota torques, rota D2
s. enkei rpf1's, XXR's, MS6/MS3 (although they are 18's). i like your choice though the spokes are simple lol.

thanks for the compliment

 

so what offset will have them just tucked in the wheel well

 

i personally am running 18x8 rims with a +45 offset

heres a pic



if you want to run a 17" wheel get a 7.5" wide rim with a +45 or +50 offset.
