Springs, size rim, offset, etc! help!!!

[o4mazda6s]

Hey guys, just wondering if you could help me out... I'm kind of clueless and I don't know if anyone has the same springs and whatnot as me...

I've dropped my o4 mazda 6 -
1.8 front and rear - sprint springs..

Do you guys know what size tire, rim, or offset could possibly work without rolling the fenders no rubbing.. and everything.. If you don't mind helping...

Thanks.

48MM+ offset or greater

18s 17s will fit with a width of 7.5 inches
225/45/18 or 17s will fit

play with this, its awesome.

wheel/rim calculator

compare it to the rims and tires you have on now with your drop.

and BTW, I have 18x7.5s, 225/40 tire, 48 offset, with a mazdaspeed hatch spring drop, no roll.
check the forum members wheels section too.

You need to go 48 and up. To be on the safer side I would stick to +50mm offset. If you go below that you WILL have to roll the fender.

not necessarily, my wheels are a +50 and i had to roll rears... MS springs which are less of a drop than the Sprint springs...

you probably should just roll them anyway and not have to worry about the wheel size, well almost unless you go to like 19's & 20's

I guess its hit and miss huh? Because some members have ran +50 offset with a drop and no problem. Others have had a problem with rubbing. However I do agree with you. Probably safer to roll the fenders anyway.

so how do you roll the fenders? i heard you can do it yourself or professionally. how much does that cost? =/

you can rent the tool and do it yourself or bring it to a local shop which is what i did, they did a great job and actually never heard of it until i showed them, they were amazed at the tool...

i rented mine from Eric at tireswap.com, i think you need to email him and see if there is a waiting list.. i also believe a couple members are renting the tool out...

forgot about this from good ole mazda6tech:
Fender Rolling How To

Good Luck

You are also running 18X8s correct? I have 18X.7.5 with a 50MM offset and I do not nor will I ever rub.
Some folks say there is a difference between the M6 & the MS6 as far as wheel fitment but I find it hard to believe.
