so, I want to get CorkSport 2014 + Mazda 3 Short Ram Intake, http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/W...he_Verona_GlossWhtMachinedface_A700&SKU=19352 and maybe the Mazda 3 hood strut kit and lowering springs? this is for a 2014 Mazda 3 you guys think the 9.5 wheels would look okay, on a Sedan? Tire size is 215/35/19

9.5 is too wide for 215 width.

i don't see in your budget any money for fender rolling with 9.5 inch wide wheels.

215s on a 9.5 is a decent stretch... You'd need to be on coilovers to get the amount of adjustability in both ride height and camber to make such a stretch look passable.

I would recommend against it.

215/35/19 will be ridiculously stretched on a 9.5...as in it'll look like a beach ball. I am getting to put 255/35/19 on some 19x9.5 and even that is a slight stretch.

 

[Loud3]

255/35 on a 9.5 will have a slight separation on the wheel guard aspect of the wheel. Sidewall will be stiffer due to that, but the (fairly lack of a) stretch will be well within recommended specs.

215/35 on a 9.5 isn't THAT bad, and is a very common stretch for the Euro guys that need to keep tread under factory fenders.

And the important thing to note with tire sizes, is that different tires will be different sizes. Comparing two different 215/35s could get you two totally different looks, as there is no really good set standard for sizes.

35lb wheel... will rape your acceleration and mpg

 

[My spoon is too big]

215 on a 9.5" wheel will look dumber than anti-vaxxer parents.

All in the eyes of the beholder.

All in the eyes of the beholder.

And I could quote those same pictures and say it looks like trash. Beauty is, indeed, in eye of the beholder. But I digress. Some of us do not like that look, some of us do, and that's ok.

 

[Loud3]

And yet, you still took the time to needlessly pile on about how it looks to you, without such as a care.

I get that it isn't your cup of tea... But then don't talk about it being "dumb" if you're going to talk about some liking it and others not.

I didn't say I liked it, I just stated facts.

In fact, I prefer meaty tires (235s on my 8.5's)... But I wouldn't call you dumb for your choices on your vehicle, that I don't drive.
