I'll be pretty busy this weekend, I can bring the spacers and a couple lug nuts to the meet on Sunday. Or text me and I'll bring them to your place.

Now I dont even know if I can make it to either meet. My car will most likely not be ready in time, and the wifey has something to do.

Shit, I have to get back to you. One of the Mazda guys he used to have a speed6 owns a tire and alignment shop on El Camino or W. El Camino or something like that.

How is he at installing low profile tires? Cheap and good hopefully. I want to find a place that can do it without hurting the rims too much.

that's what I'm thinking too but Kevin says they are harder cause it's Mazda but it's still springs.
I'm down to assist too.

Just go rent one, I'll bring my impact wrench.

Everyone needs to go check this out, maybe we can make a meet of it:

Just text me. I start school next week and I can't do this Saturday. Other then that my schedule is pretty erratic so it's best to let me know when your free and then I'll let you know if it works.

You sign up for the ride and drive?

Make sure you have about 7 full turns. I had about 5, drove on them and they didn't feel right to me. The wheel was pretty shaky and I had to retorque the wheels after driving a couple miles.
Mike is rolling on 5 turns and he says everything is fine and they are still torqued. Maybe it has something to do with the offset of the wheels too?

Yea, that's about what I got. You start count when you start turning the lug onto the threads and you can't pull the lug off. Then start turning and counting. What is the offset of the wheels? Mine were about +35 or +30.

Welcome! First 4G TL on on the forums in the Sacramento area?
We're having a get together next month with other fellow members, just look at my signure below my post for further information. Hope you can come out and join us!
As for your question about the OEM kit, you could try looking at the Black Market under the Off Topic section at the top right of the page but since the car is so new, the kit maybe rare.

Try the black market, or you can try the dealer. Or you could browse the 4G section to see if there are any group buys going on for it.

But I bet you'll feel better if you got an extra 3 turns out of the lugs though. I'll bring them again if we meet up in 2 weeks.
