Guys, chill on the hate towards INeedMoarLow. We all started somewhere, we all made mistakes. Yes he may have done something that diminished a beautiful P5, but what ever. I don't want this thread to be a hate fest. Let's cut it out.

 

[INeedMoarLow]

Thanks AK.. I think haha and yes the fenders look like ass and the purple although as mentioned is far from permanent, doesn't look good but I know this and am going to be putting alt of work into it very soon to get it beyond the glory it was...

Ineedmorelow dude it's good I ****** my fenders it happends u just need to redeem ur self it will take time but it's all good. sooner or later ur car will looks sexyer then before and that's what its all about

 

[INeedMoarLow]

Thank you man I'm glad to see someone thinks I'm not a complete idiot

 

[RicoP5]

if i wanted to run some 18x8s or 18x8.5s what would be the best off set for that set up for it not to hit the strut etc?

 

[civickilla03]

on the 8 a + 43 on the 8.5 a + 49 is the highest offset youd want to deal with

 

[Protege03ak46]

Hopefully Noah (n2k) chimes in. He knows fitment with 18s well.

 

[RicoP5]

sounds good thx peeps. jw right now i have the ms3 rims 18s i think they are 7inch wide not sure on offset but really want a wider rim but it staying size 18

Hi everybody I am currently maxed on Ksports with 17X7.5 +40 wheels wrapped in 205/45/17 potenzas. They are a great set up and good for mountain pass runs and what not. However I am looking for a more aggressive look. I want to be a bit more fitted but still retain my sporty abilities. I was looking at sizing down in both wheel in tire to a 16X8 with 205/215 preferred/40/16 but the catch is the wheels I want are +20.. I am driving a protege5 and I am concerned about the rear fitment. Would a good roll and strong pull allow for this car to be driveable? I actually dont mind not tucking tire anymore if I have that more aggressive road race fitment. Will I need to really preload the coils to prevent any fender/tire damage? My fronts are preloaded but I still touch my front fenders at a full clocked turn..

 

[Protege03ak46]

Rear will fit make with a roll and atleast 2 degrees of camber

Anybody know if Tire Rack Motorsports makes any of their wheels in 16X8 that has the bolt pattern and bore for the Protege5? I really like these more than the XXR 521's I was considering. This one actually. It is the only one on their site from the group that is 16. Anybody know the widths and offsets for the size 16? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...&wheelModel=C1&wheelFinish=Light+Grey+Painted

 

[DarkAngel]

FYI I have read in several places that TR Motorsports Wheels are made by Enkei for Tire Rack exclusively. I believe that's why they are called TR Motorsports ( Tire Rack Motorsports ).

You can try contacting them and see if they have any info.

I also have been looking to get 16x8 wheels in a different offset as to what I have now. Very limited wheels selection let me tell you.

 

[INeedMoarLow]

When he says limited its far from an under statement... There are only a few wheels that fit our cars in 16x8....
Sadly or market is mostly 17's for 5x114.3

 

[Desync]

I iz very much disappoint in our range of wheel selection for this car. Oh well! I just remember someone having TRM C3's in flat grey or bronze i think, on a white protege5 but I heard the only offset for that is +40 and its a 17 inch wheel.
