Rim/Suspension Pictures! Post 'Em!

[beej336]

i found a thread in the mazdaspeed protege section with rim and suspension pictures. i figure why cant we have one?
i dont currently have any pictures, but i have some Hyper Black Rota Torques 17x7.5 +45 (waiting for rubber) and the Eibach Pro-Kit sitting in my closet waiting to go on. and as soon as they are i will be posting my pictures.

but give the information on your setup and post some pictures!

Looks good, the Racing Harts look great with midnight blue.

for a 40 series tire, those look really low profile.
but i have always loved the msp rims on the P5.
(2thumbs)Great setup

do you guys think 215 width tires would work on my setup?
(again, its 17x7.5 +45 with Eibach pro-kit)

I was running 215/45/17 to start and they rubbed like you wouldn't believe. 215/40/17 are about as close as you can get to the height of the stock 195/ tire that came on the car, the width is the only issue now. The only rubbing issues I get are when I put 5 people in the car and turn as sharp as I can. I don't think the pro-kit lowers as low as the progress springs did on my car, but I may be mistaken on that. I have around 2" of drop. Hope that info will help!
