Nice build man. I definitely want to buy a new Mazda 3 hatchback. Let us know how good the tires and lower springs are after sometime driving with them.
Yeah unfortunately that’s just the car industry. Manuals are cheaper to make so let’s throw it in the top trim to make a bigger profit. I guess that’s their thought process.
Federalizarion costs. Years ago it was $42M per engine/transmission combo per chassis. That's why a lot of OEMs only offer 1 engine/trans option over the life of the vehicle...
Dude you're my go to guy for this sexy hatch. Its such a good looking car with great features for price. I have a 21 turbo in metallic gray and I think the either these chrome or one step down in shine wheels would look great on it. What you think?
Those wheels look great! The 7 spokes really opens it up to see the blue calipers - which would have gone so well with bronze! Too bad that didn't work out but the gunmetal is perfect. That's a bummer about the front center cap.
looks badass!!! I'd like to get wider tires for mine (Mazda 3 hatchback 2019) but keeping the OEM rims. What's the widest I could go (tires) keeping these same OEM rims? appreciate you!
Subbed! Keep us updated on those tires. I’ll be needing some in the spring. They seem like a solid contender. The issue with the front center cap is common on most wheels for mazda’s, the axle stud sticks out quite a bit
Appreciate the love man! And will do, I wanna give them a good month or so. And ahhh I see I see, you learn something new everyday. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Yes they come inflated! If you package a set of wheels and tires together from them, they mount and balance the wheels. And all you have to do is install them straight onto your car.
Did you have to get center hub rings? Apparently mine are like an inch from the hub so im seeing shaking up at the front end when reaching 60+. Mechanic said that they noticed that there was small space between the hub and the rim so it doent sit flush. What years is yours again?
I just had my 20k mile service done this past week and the tech told me the same thing. I had no idea or atleast didn’t notice it, after they told me and took it home I noticed the same thing, it’s very slight but I ordered some huh centric rings and will be putting them on asap! And mine is a 2022
@@StradysWorld Thanks for the quick reply. I just ordered some as well the 71mm to 67mm or w/e the measurements are i cant remember off the top of my head. Im definitely loving the kano and the thicker tires. Great recommendation! Still waiting for my aftermarket bolts lol
I couldn’t find much on this topic, but what I did come across is you can do front camber adjustments with camber bolts or coilovers with camber plates. But unfortunately you can’t adjust the rear unless you have it fabricated
@@StradysWorld thanks for the reply bro. Been watching all your build videos and they've been helping me decide what i want to do to mine! Keep up the good work
Have you ever looked into the European spec headlights for the 4th gens? They don't have the orange reflector like the US spec. Would look really clean!
Hey!, I'm just wondering if you have any recommendations to get headlights such as the signatures for a 2020 Mazda 3 hatchback? I've been looking everywhere and can't find anything. Also are you planning on getting more mods for performance on your Mazda?

@@StradysWorld You should look into the VT supercharger. A few on guys on youtube already have it and there is a facebook group about it. I'm just not confident enough in myself to jump in yet.
Your car and wheels look 👀 good, I was actually looking at these wheels & the brand that Fitment Industries I believe created, and wanted a set but gotta save up some more money.

But I do like these but my 2011 Mazda3 I-Touring Sedan is in the Graphite Mirca color witch is like a gunmetal grey-ish color so I’d rather go with Black, Picasa Blue, Silver, or chrome but I’m definitely now considering this brand over ESR, Enkei, Konig, Vors*** I’m actually going to wait a couple more years and then buy a Like-New Used with low mileage 2021-23 Mazda3 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus Hatchback for the first time owning a Turbo vehicle and AWD and I really like Mazda’s after owning mine.

Looks great bro. I'm new to car mods and fitment and all that stuff. Still learning what the numbers mean for wheel measurements and all that. This video was extremely helpful and I love those new wheels. I have the 2019 Mazda 3 Hatch and it bothers me how thin/narrow the tires are. I don't like the look at all. I might even grab a set of these wheels. Question - the tires didn't come with the wheels right? Where did you get the tires? Thanks bro!
The tires actually did come with the wheels. I picked them up from Anovia and they give you the option to package the wheels and tires together! They mount and balance them at their facility and ship them straight to you and all you have to do is install them straight onto your car!
That's awesome, thanks dude. Also, I was checking your other Mazda videos for a chrome delete tutorial but didn't see one. Is there a specific video or method you recommend?
@@StradysWorld Perfect. I'm gonna go this route too, for the chrome delete and the wheels and the lowering springs. I would rather pay someone to mod my car and avoid the hassle. Pus I don't have a garage or jacks or tools. Keep up the great content bro. Your car is 🔥
So I learned from another commenter that this an axle bolt. This is apparently a very common issue with aftermarket wheels on Mazdas, there’s really no way around it unfortunately.
my brother in Christ, in your climate you will be able to run summer performance tires year round without issue totally up to you though, I like the rims
@@StradysWorld fair haha. Btw I wasn’t sure if you had mentioned this in one of your videos but what did you use to black out your chrome around the windows/doors?
I have the red 3 hatch turbo and these type of videos really help me out when it comes to what works with this car
You explained everything in detail and shared your experience clearly. All channels should be like you. Just subscribed.
Was actually waiting to see a Mazda 3 with these wheels for visuals 😵
Rotary forged is still cast. Choosing Anovia over Enkei is crazy.
did you use any hub rings when mounting the wheels?

Great video! Nice wheels, too! Glad to see 18x8.5’s don’t rub, but I think 18x8’s will work better for me.😅
I love a nice 7 spoke concave wheel. I have a similar style on my Mazda 3 (MB Battles 18x8 in gunmetal).
Hey man anywhere we can see a pic of your car on MB Battles? what year is your 3?

Hey bro, how did you fit on that center cap that I see on there at the end of the video? I'm thinking about getting these wheels in chrome.
Nice build man. I definitely want to buy a new Mazda 3 hatchback. Let us know how good the tires and lower springs are after sometime driving with them.

It’s crazy the manual only comes in the premium edition hatch sad , it would’ve been nice to have manual option on all models

Could get a 5mm spacers, to push it away just a little to put the center caps on. (or shave the nut)

'Can you run 18x9.5s +30 have some rays wonder if they'd work

Dude your edits are funny
if I get a different style of wheels, but the same wheel specs would the fitment be the same or differrent?
An 18x8.5 +35 will give the same fitment regardless of what style you’re going with.
Curious why don't you go for 19"?
sad the Enkei TFR didn't work. Personally, not a fan of Anovio wheels and not a fan of Chinese death circles.
did the tires come inflated from fitment industries or did you inflate them before installing?
Yes they come inflated! If you package a set of wheels and tires together from them, they mount and balance the wheels. And all you have to do is install them straight onto your car.

Appreciate you mayne! Trying to get better at it!
Are you going to calibrate your speedometer sensor to account for the larger tires or just leave it as is.
With the new size the speedometer is only off by half a mph, I’m not worried about it!
Does the Mazda3 have front and rear camber adjustment? If I want to lower, what do you recommend for camber?
I couldn’t find much on this topic, but what I did come across is you can do front camber adjustments with camber bolts or coilovers with camber plates. But unfortunately you can’t adjust the rear unless you have it fabricated
Will 235/R18/40 fit on the Mazda 3 2020 hatchback factory rim, I want a bigger size tire on factory rim
no, maximum is 225/45/R18
🔥 looks dope man. I want a Mazda 3 so bad.
Did You get TPMS sensors in the wheels or did you not need them?
Forgot to mention that in the video but yes I added new TPMS sensors with this new set up!
how did you get the cap to fit in the clips at the end?
The caps in the rear fit just fine without issue. The fronts there was nothing I could do.
