Hey guys I am new to the site and Mazda scene with me just purchasing an 89 323 hatch. I was wondering if anyone has tried any deep dish wheels on these cars like perhaps a 15" wheel with a +0 offset? I know you want a minimum of +40 on these little cars but what if u put something out a little farther? I plan on lowering it as well and have seen this trend with some of the vw owners. Any advice will help thanks.

You would likely have to cut your fenders and run flares. Would probably look cool.sigpic

Thanks for the pics audi5000! And I figured if I kept it stock ride height I may not have to do much if anything to the fenders but if I do coilovers like I plan on there may have to be some modding. Or I may go deep but not +0 offset deep
I also have to see what I want to do about a front bumper the stocker is burning my eyes with it's rusted and bent front valance

Holy dished wheeels. How wide are they? And could you have lowered on them? I'm thinking about getting some 15x7.5s with a offset in the low +30s for a little stance. Think ittl be fine?Comment

I've found a set of Rota Rb 15x8 wheels with an offset of +10 and 205/50 tires on them, are these likely to fit? My car is already lowered too.Comment

Im running 16x8 +20 on my 323. Very little camber and fender rolling needed. I just cut the inside of my fenders out.

Wow if your wheels are a +20 and they fit that way I'm not sure how much luck I'd have with a +10. What size tire though? Where did you cut?Comment

205/40/r16. Just the lip that rolls under the fender. I wouldn't recommend it if you have good paint. My fenders are already done so it didnt matter.
