The rims will be going back up for sale when I decide what I want to do as far as new ones. For now though I think i'm going to get some spacers. 15mm for the back and 5 for the front, make them et27R and et37F

Blizzard, you think?
I'm trying to get them as equal as possible, neb's fitment topic says the rear needs a 10mm lower offset to be the same flushness as the front. Actually it was like 12 I think.
Cruz, nebs topic also says with a 17x7 (what I got) 0 offset is perfectly flush in the back. But that will only work with modification and a 215 tire. I don't want to roll anything and i'm on 225's so i'm thinking 27 will work. I've seen +30offsets on tc's and it could go another couple mm before rubbing.

If your into the sunken battleship look, then just get the 5mm, but 17x7 et37 will still be tucking in the front, I'm running 18x8 et28 in the front and I'm still not flush...
If your worried about rubbing, then some negative camber will do the trick, but I doubt you'll be even needing it.

lol alright you've convinced me, even though I was liking 5mm since I wouldn't need longer studs.
I'm going to end up going with +32 all around. I talked to ihavenosn and he is running 17x7.5 +27 on a 215 on the rear and he needs to get the fenders rolled. So 32 is the next best thing. Don't want to mess with the camber or rolling.
He said +30 is fine all day on the front, no rubbing. So with a 225 and +32 I should be alright.
Two pairs of 10mm spacers here I come. I won't be VIP uberflush or anything but it'll give the wheels a much better fit than I have now.

Thanks everyone, glor you are a little ways out haha. If you have any real nice spots to take pics over there it will be worth the drive.
pinnola the kit is a RS1 front lip, bbist OEM style sides, and the rear is an RS1 one piece lip. All carbon fiber.
drizzoh I don't mind taking pics with a mazda. PM me your number and i'll text or call you next time i'm thinking about heading out. If we can get a good number of cars I think it'll be pretty cool.

pmd you back blacktrd
weelo, I am still thinking about the RPF1's but i havent decided what i'm going to go with. So until then i'll just be getting spacers for my wheels and take it from there. I like the wheels I got, but the offset sucks. If I can make them a little closer to flush I think they'll stick around.
I got to clean up the engine bay & repaint the interior (and do it right this time) then i'll put up some new pics

I meant to mention in my other post, happy birthday! lol
Spacers are on my list... just go to get around to taking one of the wheels off and seeing if spacers will work.
