18's without lowering?

Uh…Yes, it is.

Anyway, what wheels are you looking at getting? Since you’re worried about wheel gap, i think people are running 225/40-18 and the gap remains the same. If the gap is too much with going with 18s, you could get a spring that has a very mild drop, but retains a nice ride comfort. I’ve read people recommending Racing Beat springs since they only drop the car about an inch (or less). There’s also the Eibach ProKit which drops 1.3". I’m getting those in the spring.

Just trying to think of some options for you.

I am actually considering these ones that someone is selling in the classifieds:

18X7’s should fit from what I have read at mazda3forums.com
