hi guys,

i ordered a set of 16in steelies w/blizzaks for my mazdaspeed 3. stock wheels are 18in w/summer tires, and this car will be my winter DD, so i needed something better.

i mounted a front wheel the other day, and it is really, really, really close to the calipers. i was thinking of ordering either 3mm or 5mm wheel spacers.

my question is, has anyone used wheel spacers w/steel wheels? i checked out h&r's site, they have spacers specific for the ms3...but i also saw some random vendor's site, and the spacers they sell were "not for use with steel wheels"...

thanks for any info

We do not carry the spacers but H and R is very good. A 3 mm spacer should be fine.

 

thanks jim..

Why do you need a spacer? The distance between the caliper and wheel should not change with bumps...

My Prodrives cleared the Stoptechs by 1mm (credit card BARELY fits in).

 

get the hubcentric spacers!!

 

Woohoo, I'm glad I visited an S2000 site to hear about a Mazda.

no problem..now go away...
