I figure'd since my car is coming together quickly and I have alot going on and I also have a professional photographer that takes pics of my car, that my car would be worthy of its own thread to keep track of my build up!! All opinions and feedback are welcome, positive and negative. I will edit this thread as things are added, as things change, and as pictures and new mods are upcoming!! All the pics below are within the first 30 days of owning the car, I have yet to take any pics with any modification done to the car. After the Volks are on the car, then I will be getting new pictures. (attn)

Here are the pics of my Blue Roller Skate

The day I bought her, still at the dealership:

Thanks for viewing my thread and enjoy. Opinions and feedback is very much welcomed!

255's on 7.5" and 8" wheels? I don't think that will work!

I am talking about the rears.

Keep the tires that are on it and them on. If the rear rubs a lil then roll the fender some. If it still rubs, then run some neg camber or get new tires.

Why waste tires before you even try them?

Hmm...I may try. But won't the tires rub the inside of the strut? If it won't then I may try it. I know it would look sweet, but IDK. I don't have my fenders rolled yet and I am on H&R springs

If it rubs on the strut, then get like 5mm wheel spacers or smaller

I think I am going to try it man. I think the 35 sidewall will allow for it to possibly work, so we shall see.

That sounds possibly dangerous with such a narrow wheel!

To put that into perspective that's over 10" width of tire on a 7.5" wheel!

I think you are confused.

I am not talking about running 255s up front, or even getting new tires in general. I said he should just try to see/make it fit with the tires that are currently on it before he wastes money on new tires.

Yeah, it makes sense to put the wider wheels on the back...

Nice car though, I would definately drive it.

Well a slight update...don't look like the Volks shall work out. I was recently selected to play in the 2009 Victory Sports Network Senior All-Star Classic game for NAIA college football players to play infront of NFL, CFL, AFL, and semi-pro scouts for a chance to move on to the next level. It is requring a nice deposit to cover all my jersey, room and board, and a few other things, so I won't be able to afford those Volks. On the contrary, I am having money left over from this and I've already pm'ed Zoeb/Wheeldude about a set of wheels that I want that he had last time I talked to him, just awaiting to hear back. If he does have them, I will be buying them and lets just say...my car will be One of a Kind...no one else has went with the planned setup I have for my car in the ms3 crowd

For people that want to know more about my football crap to help explain my situation and why I can't afford the Volks anymore, here is a link:

Here is a preview of what's to come...pretty sure I will be the first documented MS3 on any mazda site to have these....as long as he still has these in stock. I will find out today! *crosses fingers*

*EDIT*


Well damn, he don't even carry the color I was wanting anymore
