Chef's 2009 Mazda3 hatch

love the progress it's made. What kind of splitter are you running up front?

[chefsp0t]

Thanks for the love guys! I have to put her into winter mode soon so she will look a lot different then.

The splitter is an ebay subaru splitter made from flexible urethane. I had to trim it to fit right but it gives the car a better look than the 3 piece splitter I used to have.

Bought another set of new wheels. Work Euroline DH with chrome faces in 19x9 +30 and 19x10 +32. Should be damn sexy once I get them fitted.

Got the 10s cleaned up and polished this weekend. Might get the 9s done this week.


The 10s have a little dish on them.


The 9s have a good dish too. You can tell I haven't given them any love yet compared to the 10s.


Also have these BIM Zeit wheels in my garage. 17x8.5 +35 and 17x9.5 +40. Gonna swap my 215/45/17 Continental DWS onto them in the spring. Might paint them a matte beige color.

looks good. dont know how 19's will fit but with those wheels i can say i gonna look great!

did the last owner keep them 2 piece of welded the bolts?

[chefsp0t]

The eurolines are 2 piece with the faces welded on. I could remove the hardware and have it plated though.

The enkeis i had on in the pictures from before are 19s so the works will fit.

I cant wait for more pics!

It is almost 70 degrees out today and I couldn't resist test fitting the Eurolines.

They are pretty wide. LOL


On the car.


Unloaded suspension.




Poke shot with unloaded suspension. Keep in mind that I pulled my rear camber for my winter tires sake and I also do not have any camber plates up front. Also, the car is on jack stands on one side so it might look like there is camber there.


Loaded front.


I can make that work. My BC fronts will have 3 degrees of camber adjustment and I will be running 215/35/19s on these 19x9s.




Rear compressed.




Also not going to be too much trouble to get fitted right. Gonna run 215/35/19 on these 19x10s.





Plenty of room for camber behind the back wheel.



And obligatory lip size measurements.

3.5" front lips.


4" rear lips.


Already have money set aside for my BC front setup and my tax return will buy tires. Cannot wait to roll on these!

Wow thats going to look so good.

[chefsp0t]

Thanks man. I was honestly worried about the chrome until I saw it on the red car. It really looks clean and not DUB like some people were saying.
