hey guys here they are. ?, what kind of flush am i??

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Not flush...

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

damn you.. lol

 

[thaikim]

(rlaugh) Did you really just ask what kind of flush you are?!?

 

[nate0123]

That's sorta close to flush-ish. You using spacers? Looks like you need another 5mm.

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

i was wondering because there are no spacers or anything lol

 

[nate0123]

Ahh well if you want flush you'll need spacers

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

naw im happy with that lol

 

[VIPMSP]

i like them... would look even better if it was lowered!

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

&& they rub somewhere!? i think when turning, damn.

oh well, for sale now.

What size tires? Edit: Nevermind, I see 225/40-18. Slightly large for a Protege. Probably why you're getting some rubbing. If you can track down where it is you might be able to fix it.

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

what would be a good size? id guess 215,35,18?

 

[nate0123]

Most Protege owners with 18s use that size (215/35-18). You could probably get away with 215/40-18.

to me they are still to big looking for my style.

i put them up for sale, ill take signage photos when they are off and cleaned. its pooring here in iowa..

 

[VIPMSP]

you could get the mazda 3 wheels that look just like this, and are only 17s...

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

UPDATE! i found the rub, and it seems so simple to fix to me. let me know if my idea is possible and if its smart to do.

the rub is on the passanger inner plastic crap when fully turned to the left. there is a bump in the plastic for some reason, and the rub is only on that bump. i was thinking of taking out the plastic and cutting the area out and putting it back in.

thoughts?

 

[nate0123]

That may work, as long as there isn't anything important on the other side that shouldn't get splashed on.

 

[03.5BlueMSP]

it hides the belt, but mine squeeks like a devil already, so oh well..
