2008 MS3 wheels

[Chumpsteak]

Selling my 2008 MS3 wheels with center caps and lug nutz. No tires and no tpms. Wheels have about 20K miles on them with no curb rash. A few very minor rock chips from normal use, but the wheels are in very good condition. Looking to get $400.00 shipped. Thanks for looking.

Tires were trashed. Sorry. Wheels are still for sale though.

Stock MS3 tires would be large for the Protege anyway...

 

[Taus-MP5]

Ture, I would need lowP's like 35

 

[nate0123]

Yep, I think the photo you posted on your thread was showing 35s

 

[Taus-MP5]

Yeah that's what i thought. But running 18's on the P5, well, isn't that going to affect the speed/ transmission?

 

[nate0123]

Not if you buy the correct tire size. PM me if you have any other questions (so we don't clutter up the OP's thread further)

 

[Chumpsteak]

Just use the tire/wheel conversion calculator to figure out the correct tire size you need to get you as close to stock as possible. Then buy my wheels!

^ Thanks.


& What is the stock tire size on those MS3 wheels? (215-45-18 ? )

If so, this is what i got :

youll need a 35 to keep the speedo semi accurate. ive got 215-35s on my speed3 wheels. not the best ride and kinda nervous over some roads about denting the rims or flatting, but ill risk it for the look.

good luck with sale!

 

[nate0123]

215/40 wouldn't be a bad fit on a P5

215/35 are kinda insane low-profile

[reut1]

i used the calculator here
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos

not sure which is right now, but using 215/35s it shows being only .68mph off at 65mph.

now if i was lowered it would be perfect, but dont feel like spending the money on that.

 

[Taus-MP5]

lowering shouldnt really affect the final difference in speed, should it? I mean logically/mechanically? Not sure.. hmm

And sorry for cluttering up ur FS man, but FREE BUMPS..lolz
