They are 18x8 +50 and if they didn't have the 25mm spacers behind them, they would be beyond Hella sunk lol. No rubbing with the exception of sudden dips. I'm glad you guys like them, maybe i will change the center caps and hang on to them for a while :P

Looks great! I say get them powdercoated, find some center caps (plain or 'L') and keep them.

This is what I did with RX8 rims when I had them on my Mazda 6 wagon.

They look good! Paint black or change those center caps. Mazda logo is ugly.

Man, I guess I really am going to have to keep them. They definitely need to be powdercoated and I'll have to get some shorter tires for the front and new center caps (I've got a few creative ideas for those). Thanks for all the feedback guys, this is why I love being a part of this community.

So I am curious does the tire hit the inner side of the fenders up front. I am talking about the metal at the top of the tire? If you have modified it how did you do so?

All I've done is remove the liners and relocate the wiring harness on the drivers side.
