Will a 17x7, +45 offset wheel fit on our cars?

would this offset be too small to increase our wheel bearing wear?

will 225/45/17 tires on this wheel RUB?

thanks my brethens.

I've been looking at getting a 17x7 in a +45. It should fit.

225 will not fit a 7" wheel though. The best fit would be a 215/40R17...

What about our stock 205/45/17 tires?

Those will fit fine too. I figured if you were looking for a wider tire foot print while getting a wider track, a 215 would fit and work well.

so basically the RE040 on the MSPs are exactly what im looking for?

Close. A 215/40 is a better match to the MP3's 205/45. The 215/45 on the MSP will throw off the speedo a little.

Would the difference in the speedo be BIG?

1) Gold D-power TS-05s chopped onto my car...



2) My bronze RHs




keep my bronze Racing Harts ? or are the gold TS-05s better?
