A Few Questions For The Smart Guys

[Jag61180]

What is our wheel lug Pattern?
What is the largest wheel size we can fit with what offset?
Where is the best place for Bosal Exhaust?
Does anyone make headers that require no modification?

Thats all I can think of for now.

5x100 bolt pattern.

the biggest i was told i could fit. (this was by my manager) i work at discount tire... was an 18x7 or possibly and 18x7.5. without trimming parts... i decided im going to keep the 17's and get some bad ass tires.... i think our offset is 114 but im not 100% sure.. there arent any headers out YET for our cars that you dont have to modify.. but supposidly some are coming out soon... and the best place for bosal exhaust would be protege5online.com they are very helpful and i was pretty happy with their service. I have no complaints other than on my intake there was a nice little scratch on the tubing... but that wasnt their fault it was the warehouses fault.

 

[mazdamp3_18]

i guess i was wrong... it is a 5x100....

 

[Sir Nuke]

nope...guess again...

I am pretty sure its 5 X 114.5

or is the MP3 different than the P-5?

 

[cjstringer]

I sure hope you're right Nuke. I'm about to order some wheels and I've been shopping the 5x114s. Someone clarify please. I hate to pay 3x shipping costs.

Bolt pattern is 5x114.3

GODDAMNIT DO A ******* SEARCH!

Every one of these questions has been answered. I just answered a post about wheel s*** not even a week ago.

I AM GONNA START DELETING POSTS IF PEOPLE ASK THE SAME THING OVE AND OVER!

RIGHT ******* THERE. It was on the 2nd page. How hard would it be to find that??

LOOK UP AND TO THE RIGHT, there is a button called SEARCH. Type in what you want and it will find it.

I think this shows our need for a FAQ perhaps...there have been just WAY too many reposts lately it seems where people rather than doing the very easy search just make new threads and ask the questions. I know I'll volunteer to help in making one that can be placed right on the top of the forum or something and we can add to it easily as we go.

 

[cjstringer]

Touchy, touchy. Man, I was just replying because I had read that post and thought it was correct, but didn't want to do it wrong.
I'll get you some Prozac. They make it in the next building over. (Yes, I work at Eli Lilly)

I like the FAQ idea. Should we put a "these are the specs" area for stock setups and common mods and needed numbers? Just another thought to add.

Sorry to ruffle feathers..

 

[NC_MP3]

That wasn't directed to anyone in particular, just everyone in general that doesn't read beofre they ask. I am just tired of seeing post asfter post of the same questions. And Enry is probably tired of the same posts eating up his hard drive space.

Hey CJstringer! You work at Lilly??

Do you know Bill or Monica Robbins??? They are my uncle/aunt.

I know its a big place, just wondering.

18x7??!?! pssssssshhhhhh 19"s are JUUUUST FIIINE

 

[MP3-Owner]

Even on an MP3....

 

[Jag61180]

Hey,

I really want the 19x8 mille miglia impera wheels, do yall think they will fit?

 

[Inimical_01ES]

My wheels are 19x8, and they fit okay with my Ground Control Coil Overs...

I'll eventually do some work on the wheel wells so that I can drop the car a little further without having any probelms...

Haven't gotten around to it, been working on the development of our Turbo.
