Borbet Wheels in Bridgestone Blizzaks

Unbelievable snow storm!

 

[CTt3P5]

2007 Mazda5 17x6.5x52mm with the bald 205/50/17 oem toyo's. Speedo is off but no rubbing. Handling improvement was tremendous. Don't want to lower it, I like my undercarriage without scrape's and abuse; and it handles sweet as is.

Nice! I've always wondered what these would look like on the P5.

Unbelievable snow storm!

Looks so much better than my blizzaks on steelies.

Anyone run stretched tires on their car?

massive EDIT (info was not needed)


Just mounted Mazda3 16x6.5 52.5mm with the tires from my trashed stock wheels (hit curb with two of them at speed).

Thanks . I have run the steelies for years but just grew to dislike the look of them. There is no reason to have your car looking less than great in the winter time.

True but for $200 for the package I can't complain.....for now.

I can totally understand that, especially since it's so hard to shop for wheels for this car (fitment-wise).

Are you satisfied with the treadwear on your Blizzaks? You have LM-25 I am assuming?

So far I am....just had the car inspected and the fronts are 7/32 and the rears are 5/32. I ran them approx. 3500 miles last year and not sure how many miles the original owner put on them the one season they were used (bought them used off of cl for $100).

And they are WS-50's. Only gripes are noise and mushy feel on dry pavement but they are snow tires, so.......

That sounds very good. Mine are LM-25 with slightly harder compound, I think. Hope to get some decent treadwear results with them as well.

Quick Question:

Whats all needed to fit a 17x8+40 rim on the protege5. I`m assuming just a solid roll and it will be good?

I had that setup without any roll and it rubbed terribly, so I think even with a roll you'll rub a bit ... that is assuming that you're dropped.

What profile/width were the tires? How much of a drop did you have?

205/40-17 tires, about 1.5" drop

 

[br289165]

That's a 6.75 mm greater tire height. Was it rubbing on the lips in the rear?

205/40-17 tires, about 1.5" drop

Winter rims looks great!!!

14"x5.5", 38mm offset, 67,1mm hub bore 1995 Eagle Talon rims wrapped with 185/70QR14 Michelins X-Ice, painted dark bronze.

^^^Nice, I should really find the time to paint my '93 Eclipse steelies this summer. If I do I'll have to start a poll for color choice.

 

[Ready To Ride]

Spooky, where is this Auto RnD place? I'm new around here, in Los Angeles and could use some help finding local shops that got the parts and can do the work. Any other Locals that could point me in the right direction?
