Okay

With the 01-03 SP20, I know a few have put CX7 wheels with 215/35-18.
I know the CX7 specs are: 7" wide with 50 offset.
With lowered springs (not coilovers) do they have problems, noise, knocks etc.... ?

Now the 2010ish Mazda6 wheels are also 18" and look abit similar to the CX7 (maybe better looking in my eyes) but are 7.5" wide and 60 offset would I have problems ? And with lowered springs not coilovers.

Because with the offset calculator the:
CX7 are 13mm more towards the strut/shocks and 13mm out towards the guards.

And

Mazda6 are 29mm more towards the strut/shocks and 9mm out towards the guards.

Just want to know if people have having problems with those wheels, I seen a lot with the CX7 but none with the Mazda6

Compare

CX7:

Mazda6
