Yup it'll fit. Just a tiny bit bigger than your stock tire size.

That's what almost everyone has replaced their 215s w/....225/45 has more choices.

8.5? et45 up w/ 225/45 max. Any lower offset & wider tire, you'll have to roll.

If I may solicit your opinions. Have a 3yr old M3. Hearing a slight creaking noise at the driver side (casa referred to it as tok sound) when driving over humps, eneven road and turning wheel. Especially on slow drive.

Had CASA checked on it about 6 months ago but was diagnosed as engine support 4. CASA replaced it and probably lost some noise. But few months ago, same noise can be heard again. CASA now diagnosed as replacement of both shock absorbers, bearing strut, rubber mounting for a whopping price of 34K! and these parts are told not to be covered by warranty.

Do you think this is a fair price? Based from someone who may have experienced the same, is the diagnosis correct? As the car is 3yrs old and city driven on paved road, do you think replacement of shock absorber is a right thing to do?

TIA!

Thanks!

Have you tried already to spray some wd40 to the bushing just to see if the noise will go away? My 2.5yo M3 had this slight noise coming from the front driver side wheel. Not a clunk metal noise but can be heard when going through uneven road and speedbumps on certain angles.

After applying the same DIY fix from the video, the noise was gone for a few months. I plan to reapply some wd40 again at the next tire rotation which I do by myself.

Thanks for this tip sir. Will have to visit a friendly mechanic who can lift the car for me and apply wd 40.

If you are referring to this one, then there's no need for a lift.



I suggest using this kind of silicone spray.

Thanks sir for the advise. Am unsure where exactly the noise is coming from since i have to leave the car with them (probably a mistake) and just received this diagnosis and estimate when i had to pick up the car.

I can probably try to spray WD40 in all moving parts of the front suspension mechanism and see if it disappears.

Thanks again!

Saw this rim from a youtube review of a Subaru Levorg and I instantly like it!

Anyone here knows a local distributor of WedsSport?

If it's "squeaking" you hear, could also be wiper cowl. Often heard near A-pillar, driver or passenger side.

If it's "tok" , then you'll probably need coil spring insulators first. If still under warranty, bring it to Mazda Makati. See if you can talk to Rod, the service manager to explain your problem. Maybe have a clear video recording on-hand to help your case.

Otherwise, check your bushings. Lower arm front bushing takes a beating, could be worn out. Lower arm rear bushing, the big one doesn't wear out as fast and as often.

If you're trying the lubrication method, do process of elimination. That way you can easily pinpoint the source. Don't go spraying all the bushings at once, you won't figure out which one is faulty.

My AC suddenly blew air even if its in Off position, this happened several times. Also, while driving, AC blower suddenly intensified while AC setting is in #1 position. In all occasions it just lasted several seconds. I did reported this occurrences during PMS but CASA found nothing even after they run their diagnostics procedure. Appreciate if anyone can share what could have caused the malfunction, and advise solution on this. I have 1 year warranty to go. Unit is 2017 1.5HB.

I went to have this checked again yesterday at Mazda QA, the technician identified the AC Blower Fan Controller as the culprit. They will file report for warranty claim. I hope this will fix the problem.
