But why would you? Just messes up the speedo.

edit: and nowhere does it mention that he got RX8 wheels and tyres....

How do you know? Do you have any factual basis?

and btw, RX8 tyres are still a 45 series profile...

anyway, the point is - how does lowering a car limit your tyre size? If you're getting the correct tyre size to keep the same rolling diamater (which you should be doing anyway), it's not a factor.

mrpayner · 01-10-2007, 01:25 PM

yep! It's manual transmission..

I'll be putting on 215 or 225/40x18 on the RX8 wheels. The 225's will make it travel slightly faster, but i'm finding it hard to get tyres in 215 with the correct load rating and price..

pr1mo · 01-10-2007, 04:16 PM

these here would look pretty sweet

whats teh plan for your old 17"s?

bourbon · 01-10-2007, 04:18 PM

but hes not gettin them...hes gettin the rx8 rims...open your bloody eyes dude

pr1mo · 01-10-2007, 04:24 PM

i knowwww gosh. just saying lol settle down :P

mrpayner · 01-10-2007, 04:36 PM

haha @ bourbs..

plan for 17's is to fix the gutter rashed one, and possibly give them to my dad.. The only thing is that rubber is getting down on most of them so i might just sell them without tyres..

Ad's

Ad's

well u could always sell them to me with the tyres

I like the look of those mazda6 rims, would look classy on the 323 me thinkz

KittyKatSmack · 03-10-2007, 05:47 PM

Congrats on the car purchase.
Tres sexy colour too

I'm kinda happy you didn't get the honda euro, I don't think you would have been happy with it.

AND you get to stay in the Mazda family too LOL

Kudos - it's soooo purty, is it male or female? Are you going to name it?
I know I'm usually the only one that names cars LMAO!

I hope you are super dooper happy with your new baby, and as for wheel choices, stick with your instincts - you are usually spot on anyway and I think will look fantabulous with the RX8 rims.

Cheers

mrpayner · 04-10-2007, 12:57 PM

Hey thanks kitty.. [welcome back btw]..

Yes i'm very happy with the 6, and i'm glad that i did stay with the Mazda family! It's a "she" and it's un-named.. How does Yvaine sound?

Can't wait to get the RX8 wheels on.. Buggernuts and i have both got 18" rims to get rubber for and we have got a mad price on the Khumo Ecsta KU31's.. So stay tuned in the next month..

Dogo · 04-10-2007, 01:20 PM

pr1mo · 04-10-2007, 02:02 PM

Should have sold them to me 4 years ago Dave! They would have looked great on the Eunos.

I'm tipping the answer would be no, considering he already has the rims, just waiting for a time to get tyres put on.

KittyKatSmack · 04-10-2007, 05:45 PM

Hrmmmmmm
I might be tempted by your rims Dogo.

And Adam, any chance you can get the 18" Khumo's for us too?
I need to put wheels on the car/s
Now that we have 3 cars again...........

mrpayner · 05-10-2007, 07:58 AM

Kitty.. i'll PM details, and with the meet coming up in November i could bring them!

Dogo · 05-10-2007, 10:18 AM

there's a meet in November ?

hehehe

KittyKatSmack · 07-10-2007, 12:12 PM

Unfortunately Aaron and I will not be able to do the Albury Meet with OzMazda.com in November.

Instead we will be in Melbourne in a couple of weeks

Please tell me more about your rims

I can't remember which ones they are.
