[Autox MSP]

[LAZERBLU2003.5]

do they even fit on a MSP??

 

[AutoBox]

they 18X8 right??? what offset?

 

[low_psi]

they don't fit. too wide and they have a +35 or something offset.

 

[LAZERBLU2003.5]

has anyone tried?

 

[Swerny]

They do fit. A guy on toprotege.com has them on a P5.
The stock tires don't fit though.

 

[LAZERBLU2003.5]

but a p5 has different suspension than a Msp

but a p5 has different suspension than a Msp

only valving, spring rate and stabilizer bar thickess; not issues that make it different from a mecahnical point of view. sedans allow lower offsets as well.

i eat my words, in fact now i remember seeing pics of them on the p5. didn't he have to machine them? its a red p5 right?

That actually looks pretty decent. I wonder how they would look on a Titanium MSP?

 

[Newf]

He has got be having rubbing issues with those things unless he's done something to make them fit.

[msubullyfan]

No doubt. In fact, that looks like a major rub -- enough to be a major safety hazard!

 

[Chojin]

Guys -

RX-8 wheels have a 50mm offset.

It looks like the front of that rear wheel is angled out...that's not cool at all. Other than that, the car looks awesome. (rofl)
