Aggressive fitment anyone?!

[SeR_Cyclops]

408 bucks they are 102 each, no i have seen some wheels that are 60 bucks each lol.

Its not too cheap for bad wheels. Just run a 10 or 15mm spacer on the stock wheels until you can afford decent aftermarket wheels.

Im planning on running a 15mm spacer, but im sure im going to have to go lower tire profile probably like 215/40..anyone ever ran a 15mm spacer on an msp?

[MSPBrett]

[sean22306]

lol.... Judging by the questions you've asked, I'm guessing no. Surry dude.

In seriousness tho, 17x9 will take some work to get proper fitment... And by "some" I mean a considerable amount.

So r u saying its impossible to run a 9" wide wheel in a protege? So no one in here is running a 17x9" wheel in the rear?

Its not impossible, it'll just take a lot of work. Scott is in the process of getting 17x9 +38 put on his spicy

like how much work dub?

 

[yellowmsp035]

enough....

you will have to sacrifice a lot with the car and it isnt too practical.. so in other words no. for a daily driver, or any car you want to actually DRIVE.... then dont go more then 8s haha its not worth the effort dude

 

[xDJ DUBx]

roll, pull, stretched tire, proper camber numbers, etc etc. Its more of a show thing cause you sacrifice a lot of performance for it.

 

[Protege03ak46]

you'd HAVE to run coil over's too. so your wheel/tire doesnt hit the spring perch...... the list and price goes on and on.....

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Oh yeah, that too plus it'd look funky to have a hellaflush setup on a stock height car, eww.

 

[blkonblkMSP]

Thanks for the info guys...

This may help for guys lowered and still using stock strut mounts. It'll give ya a small amount of negative camber if your looking for a little more room up front.

You might not have noticed, but your stock upper strut bearings are adjustable for a small amount of negative camber and increased caster. There is a small green paint dot (see pic) near the bearing portion which you can locate as shown to give the camber and caster change. This is a no cost (except for alignment) mod which does help.

here is the link to the site I got it from.

Damn, I'd like to see someone run 17x9 with 245/40 tire. Doesn't have to be lowered, I just want to see it.
