I'm on Nexen N1000 's They look great. http://www.nexentireusa.com/tires-20/N1000 Accordig to their specs you should use 8" - 9.5" rims on these tires.

I stuffed a 225/40 on the stock 7" rim, I lost a lot of response, I'm looking now to buy a set of 8".

I fitted 225/40 R18's on the stock 7" rim, I lost precision on steering zig zag is very bad, although they have a lot of grip braking or once inside a curve.

The 225 / 40 R 18 look great but according to the manufacturer the minimum rim width should be 8" The tires handle really well on cornering or braking, but awful on zigzag I can upset the car relly easy doing zig zag, Do you think this is beacause of the 7" rims or is this a problem with the...

You were right I physically measured my wheels and the stock wheels fot 2008 are 7" Given that, I went with the 225 / 40 R18 Nexen's (N1000) we will see how they perform...

I thought 225 45 18 were OEM on 2010 MS3!!!

I thought 2008 wheels were 7.5" I will measure them today ???? if that's the case is it ok to use 235/40 R18 ?? Thanks!

Ok I blew out one of my tires, the replacement 215/45 is hard to find down here, and I was thinkin on replacing my tires with 225/40 R18 keeping the stock wheels. Any experiences with this setup? Any advice? I might also consider 235/40 R18 is it safe with the stock 7.5" wheel? Thanks in...

That's why my other car is a mod jeep, last time this happened to me, I was just about to winch him out of my space, when he moved the car !! never have had the same problem!!!

I just bought one, and it does not read RPM on my 2008 ms3, too bad.... I wish i had gone on the european meter, check it out on http://www.performancebox.co.uk/ ALSO THE HP MEASUREMENTS DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WIND RESISTANCE AND ROLLING RESISTANCE AS THE PERFORMANCE BOX WILL

Corksport Question Hi I have a 2008 MS3 and recently bought the Corksport FMIC kit, I have not installed yet, but I was wondering,..... has anyone had a problem with the seal between the Air filter with the grill that goes against it? I am fearfull of putting too much dirt into my engine if...

Actually not, since 2008 every new car has to have a GPS localizer, so they no longer steal new cars, if it gets stolen, the GPS company will trackit and in coordination with the police will go get your car, they have like 95% success. within the first 3 hours.

3.25 TMIC claim 20 more hp's on stock Msp3, right? what should I expect from a FMIC from Exhaust Depot?

Yes, I live in Mexico City and recently bought a MSP3!!!! I got the one with Bose radio.

So, I am planning my first mod to be an intercooler, my question is having everything else stock, should I go TMIC or FMIC, which will give me better performance. I do a lot of traffic driving, and hate heatsoking of my stock TMIC. what do the experts say if cost was not an issue? which will...
