Had just enough time from getting off work early to run to the tire shop to get it done.
Tires: Continental Extreme Contact DW 235/40/18
Wheels: Enkei PF01 18x8.5 et48
They've been sitting in my room for the past 2 weeks because I've been at IMS working 12 hours a day the past couple weeks for Indy 5 stuff. Got off a little early and jetted right over to the tire store to get these done.
I might drop the car about an inch all the way around to get a little less wheel gap BUT IM NOT GOING TO STANCE IT.

Looks good, really good. Glad you didn't go all black! I am probably going to be getting black though, cause I like to pretend I drive a race car.

That looks a little low for me.. Cobb and CorkSport sell some springs that lower by 1 inch in front, 1.2 in rear, and I'd probably run some Koni Yellows for struts

Thanks man! I've been trying to bring it to cars and coffee but have been at work the past couple weeks with the 500 in town. Did you decide on some wheels?

Why couldn't the MS3 be AWD, Mazda?

I tried looking up grounded mazda 3s on google and this is the lowest I could find just to joke around with you, I wish I had found something more stanced so it was more noticeable. :)

How about this one I found on Instagram last week? I can't stand those wheel arches with those stupid wheels.

I was trying to study for finals so I decided not to go. Should have just gone, the finals didn't out too well. I have decided on wheels, just now I need to plan when I am going to get them. Probably end of summer early fall. Rota Titans! WOOT!

Your ride height and wheel selection, some people might call that "stance", Is flawless. Please dont change it.
Edit: I posted this before I read what you said, that wasnt meant as a reply to your comment about changing the ride height. It was purely a comment on the image you posted.

Haha, I appreciate it anyway. I just drove it around some more and the ride height is growing on me, even though it's stock. Can't believe the difference I feel in the new tires and wider wheel also.

Love it just the way it is. Lowering is overrated!

Deyumm. Looks great. Awesome wheels.
Your car already looks relatively low... do you already have coilovers or just bigger wheels to make the wheel gap seem smaller than normal?
Nonetheless, I will almost always support a reasonable lowering of cars.

Thanks, I'm really pleased with how it looks now. The sidewall of the tire is a bit taller than stock so it appears to be a bit lower. People have said the car does look lowered stock, can't remember if the speed3 sits lower stock than most, but it very well may.
