2014 Mazda 3

Regarding rims, I already ordered new shoes for my mz3 and of course with the blessing of wifey hahahaha, only that the offset that I ordered is +44, it's a little hard to find +45 up, most of the rims are +45 below and I pair it with 225/45/18 tires.

[travajante]

Yeah tire spec for 18s should either be 215/45 or 225/45. You can go as far as 245/40 but be sure that offset is +45 to avoid possible rub. Was able to test fit forged TS6:



Great that you were able to source DV! Those are hard to find and may not even be locally available (just for the h11s at least).
Sound advice from the SupreM3 Mast3r! Salute to you brother!! Even the head honcho wanted to take a photo op with the SupreM3!! Hahaha 👍👏

+1 on 245/40/18s on 8.5s. Yummy beefy!
Oh, you had it all the other way around, Geo brah!!!
The pleasure & honor of meeting the head honcho was all the hermit hobo's alone!!!!

Grats!!!!!
What's the width, vinrem brah? 8s & et44? You'll be fine even w/ HTechs!

Grats sir vinrem!!! Yeah that should still work. Ideal is 45 but 1mm shouldn't be much of a worry if you're not dropping yet. Those are gonna be flush on your Mz3 ride! Care to share your new shoes? Hehe. 😊

Rim/Tire spec guide
(Without any need for camber & fender roll):
Ideal width: 8.0"
Max width: 8.5"
Safe MINIMUM Offset: et45 up
Ideal dia: 18" or 19"
Tires: 215-225/45/18
225/40/19
235-245/35/19

Rotas are of great value. They have lightweight rims of quality finish & toughness that are tested on our roads. Key is finding them with the proper fitment.

Thank you for the detailed guide Sir Travs! Those forged TS6s look really good! How I envy the M3s here!!

That's what we're all here for...the sharing, the fun & the clique!
What's amazing is the TS6 uses the same gravity cast method as the pricier 57Xtremes...and the former is lighter by 600grams each corner!!!!👍

Can't stop grinning esp on curved downhills as of now done with the 3m tub shower thread. Planning next on your relocator. Maybe oem 18s too.

Hello sirs, is there any way i can join the fb group without showing a photo on facebook? Im not kinda the guy who posts such things on social media, though if required when messaging privately, ill do so. I also have a friend who is a member there and he can vouch for me.

Ahhhh, a minimalist aiming for max impact!!!!......
But you know you can't just stop there, right?😁
A blessed weekemd, y'all!!!
An even better 1 to our new Mown3rs who just took delivery!!!! Grats!!!

[testament11]

Sir testament, Around how much are they selling the OEM 18s without tires? I'm definitely interested as long as it's in the right price range.

Meron isa sa grupo nagbebenta, though painted in gold, ala Subaru rims, nasa 20k. Pwede mong kunin yun tapos pa-repaint mo nalang sa black o gunmetal at meron sa grupo na gumagawa niyan at maganda ang quality

Congrats Sir! Mods na agad, the thing that will keep you awake at nights is the virus that we call TEINitis.

Thanks to bro travajante, Manskee, Geo, and Phil Alvendria of APP Autowheel!
-- Stock 16s to 18s (Rota Titan + Bridgestone Potenza RE002)
-- 205/60 to 245/40
-- 33.5 kgs to 25.3 kgs (with weights pa)
-- Mind blown by the improvements: Cornering, stability on straights, acceleration, lightness (shaved about 33 kgs), tire noise, wet hydroplaning, steering feedback, looks!
--- 18s ride comfort is still good like stock 16s except on humps where it crashes a bit more but still okay.

And just like our M3S, this is value for money! =)

Saw a gray m3 entering our village and we greeted each other with the potpot horn. His plate was relocated too. Nice one!
