Thoughts on this wheel?

[Mmmmmken]

I'm looking into a 17" wheel setup and wondering what thoughts any might have on this? I have an '02 Sunlight Silver Metallic P5. You can see the wheel on the car at this link if you are willing to go through the trouble.

Also... will a 215/40-17 fit on our cars stock? What about with an Eibach Pro-kit Spring set-up?

I think it would look really nice in that color. I'd say go for it if you can.

 

[D-rock240]

Yeah looks cool. Go for it!

Should tuck with a 48 offset.

i have 225/35/18s on my msp and i LOVE the width of them. they look tough stickin out the side of the wheel well a little.

215/40 would be perfect -- thats what i use to have

 

[Protege52003]

i bet they would look nice on your P5

You'll never get those on a P5! Sedans have more rear wheelwell clearance than the wagon.

I have 215/35/18s on 7.5's with Full coilovers with about 3/16" clearance on either side of the tire slammed. Trust me! Don't even try.

I won't... these have to drive in the Ohio snow also, can't go too wide or too low.
I'll be doing the Eibach Pro-kit, and a 205 or 215/45 or 40, most likely a 17", possibly an 18". Looking at prices, tire availability, offsets, etc.
This is an everydayer and I'm 45... need to grow up sometime. Just not yet!

Great wheel! That would look even better on a slammed P5!
