too much camber in the front? what do u think guys? i have spc ball joints. i still have a little rubbing issues in the front.. specially when doing faster turns. what do you guys suggest i do?

[amilliems6]

can we get some side view pics in here lol

[Outlawstar98]

side pics plzzzzzz

[TXspeed6]

is that -2degrees?

[mofoaka]

no idea.. i eyeballed it cuz the front didn't have enough camber to clear.. so i was rubbing. i'm going to get a alignment soon. i'll probably do -2 front and back.

I like it. Im jealous that those wheels can fit ur car. Damn msp fitment.

[mofoaka]

Hahah.. "fit" is a relative statement.. i rubb in the front on my plastic wheel well.. and i had to roll my rear as u can see.. but at least the rear clears. i dont know if i'd be able to fit 245/40/18s like some. and right now.. i had to eyeball the front camber to clear the fenders. good thing i got these tires on sale.. bridgestone RE01R =D tires will probably go down to 225/40/18

[ms6bb0y]

def interesting look. Borat says "I like. How much?"

btw, r those h&r springs?

[mofoaka]

Thanks! yea H&R springs, stock shocks, plus SPC bj's

[amilliems6]

wat are the tires 225? or am i wrong?>

[freekwonder]

Damn that looks good.

[Qwik6]

That is clean my friend

[mofoaka]

yea they're 225 tires. i will be doing -2.5 front and -2 rear camber, 0 toe front and back

[mal_tiempo]

That looks great! Wonder how easy it is to find a set these days?

[mofoaka]

i got them for pretty cheap ..~500 bucks.. look on craigslist for local sales

[TXspeed6]

Wow, they look great and that is a good price too! I would say stay around -1 degree, but that's just my opinion...after 1degree you start loosing treadlife

[mofoaka]

i'm at -2 all around with 0 toe front and back... i had to reroll the rear fenders.. the front ones are still rubbing.. might have to roll or shave..

[WIMSPWI]

id keep it...rubbin means success, as long as you can deal with it, i think it looks soooo mean and you'd be crazy to get rid of those...awesome idea man!

[mofoaka]

yea... but i'm too scared to drive the car the way its meant to be driven... i like to corner hard.

[zinger002]

[CnoTataymo]

Where does it exactly rub in the front? You should try putting that blue masking tap around the fenders to see where you rub.

[mofoaka]

rubs at the tabs where the plastic fender well holds on to the fender itself. its eating through most the plastic.. i'll probaby roll it up a little to make some room

[Drizz-OH!]

They look nice. Any plans for center caps? Also I think some black lug nuts would look great.

[djmarkian]

How are you lowered? spring or coilovers?, you may raise it a up a bit and your problem will be solved...

[USAFVMI08]

learn to drift.

Because that's legal...

[mofoaka]

on H&R springs... i can either get new tires with lower profile or stiffen the front with koni's .. either way.. neither is rational to do.. for now i'll drive carefully in the turns and dips

[ugadogs_11]

I am also on the h&rs with the evo wheels, I think the other guy with evo wheels also has the same springs. Its such a great combo.

If you went with 225/40's, the tires will stretch and the tires will be a little small in diameter. I wouldn't think you would have a problem rubbing.

[mofoaka]

yea.. but i'm thinking about going 235/40.. since 245/40 is possible i'm just gonna go a big narrower. =D

[ugadogs_11]

Im running the 245 and im good.

[sp33dy6]

Pixsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[andethy]

hey so whats the bore size on the evo x wheels?! im aobut to pick some up tomorrow! will they fit my 2003 mazda6s @ 67.1mm bore?!

[mofoaka]

67.1 ms6 and m6 would be the same bore size

[SubXer0]

wow those look sick

[andethy]

I bought my evo wheels 2 hours after i posted that last post about the bore size...I am looking at wrapping them in 235/40 has anyone mazda6 owners done this yet?!

[mofoaka]

no but it'll be fine with 235/40.. members have done 245/40 with these wheels specs .. you need a major roll and slight pull in the back

[ugadogs_11]

MAJOR ROLL in the back for 245s

[Speedkid]

Looks good.

does it rub all the time.. or ONLY your cornering..?

if its only why cornering.. .. upgrade your sway to something thicker/stiffer should solve the issue...

had to do it.. to run stggrd wheels on my 3hatch..

[kahmikahze]

is that -2degrees?

not related to the OP, but my God, I love the color of your MS6 (bow)
