new pics of my 1991 GT

magik8 · Oct 19, 2003

Since I haven't posted any pics in quite some time and I happened to buy a new digital camera today, I though I would post some good quality pics of my '6. The rims are 17" TSW Stings and the car is stock ride height.

magik8 - love the new GT. I wish mine was running!

I say this for every white MX-6. White rims would look killer! But the ones you have kick ass nonetheless. Now just drop the car, and get rid of that turbo sticker. Can't let those ricers know you're packing a turbo in there. :tup:

hahaha... he just bought the sticker not too long ago...give him a break ...heheheh...(for those uninformed 90-92 GT's never got the turbo sticker)

magik8 · Oct 21, 2003

Thanks again for the compliments.

Hey, I like the "turbo" sticker. @-

I would have liked to get white rims but couldn't find any that I liked. Perhaps I'll get them painted white in a few years.....or maybe I'll paint the stock rims white.

..and while I do agree some lowering would be nice, I don't want to lose the smooth ride. The eibachs/blues combo sounds good but that would not be in the near future. The previous owner had the stock aas struts replaced with some other gas struts so I wanna get some life out of them.

right on . leave it stock height and if your aas are working its even better...

white stockers would look good... my GT has white painted stockers and it look pretty good..,
man dont paint your brand new silver wheels !!!

Sweet, now you need a muffler, and some tint. But it still looks good as it is now.

The rims are 17x7" with a 40mm offset. The 215/45 tires just barely fit without rubbing.

Mazda_MX6_Turbo · Oct 22, 2003

are they barely rubing on the spring perche, or on the struts body it self, im asking casue there is a guy selling me rims, that are 17's not sure how wide they are, but they have 215/50/17 size tires on them right now, with a 50 mm of set, but i have cut sprin perches and coil overs, do u think they will rub??

edit: he is selling me the rims and tires for 300$, and the tires are like a month old.

magik8 · Oct 22, 2003

I wouldn't buy them. To clarify, my tires don't rub at all, but it is VERY close to the rear strut perch (about 5mm). I'm not sure how much your GC's would help, but I think 215/45 is about the limit. If possible, see if you can try the rims/tires on the rear of your car and see if it works.

adeelpowers · Oct 23, 2003

i think those rims look really good as is

Nice car!

well i know the tries are a little big, so eventually in the futur i will buy 215/45/17 on the rims, but im just saying for now till im able to get the new tires for them u know. i might jsut even get the rims and keep them till im able to buy tires for them.
