Nice, what size?
22x10.5 +30, tires will be 285/35/22
New wheels are here. They'll get a cheap ceramic coating, then tires will be mounted. They'll be stored away until summer. Can't wait! (flash)

Those are going to look very nice. I am thinking of doing something similar when my tires wear out.
I just added 30mm spacers all round. Rear's looks perfect, while they stick out just a tick at the front. I'll probably live with it, but to be perfect I think 25mms for the fronts would look best.
Was there a specific brand of spacers you used? How did the slightly wider stance affect handling (if at all)?
Did a quick oil change - Castrol Syntec 5W-30 and an OEM Mazda filter. Nothing special, except I got to use my QuickJack for the first time.... (nana)
Thanks - they're my winter wheels from Tire Rack. I think the bronze tint looks nice against the dark blue of the CX-9.Nice wheels.
The QuickJack set I have is rated to 5,000lbs. based on GVW. the CX-9 is around 4,300, as is my wife's MDX, so I felt safe with them. There's a 7,000lb. set for heavier vehicles, though.What is rating of the jack?

I got the 5000SLX, but I'll be putting in an order for the frame extension kit (https://www.quickjack.com/accessories/slx-frame-extension-kit-pair.html), which takes an SLX and gives it the length of an EXT. This way I can use the extension kit when working on the CX-9 and MDX, but leave it off for working on the Saab 9-3 and the Audi GT Coupe, which are both too small for the EXT model. This will give me the best of both worlds.Nice!! Which model did you get for the CX-9, the BL-5000SLX or the EXT? I don't think I'd spent that much on a jack, but if I decide to spring for it, it would be good to know what works.
