You're the first person I've heard of (and show proof) that the offset is anything BUT +55. Anyone know if the MP3 RH's and the MSP RH's have the same offset? I always thought they did. I can measure my MP3 rim. Someone wanna measure a stock MSP RH since we have conflicting info?

 

[sean22306]

Yea I always remembered their FAQ said the offset. I read the FAQ quite a few times and have it bookmarked. That's why I was always confused when everyone said 55 lol. I like to make sure I have proof before going against the norm

Is it not stamped on the rim? Sadly I've never had a stock set to look



Edit: Now if you look at the other protege FAQ's http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=contactCustomer you get different numbers.

The MSP rims are 55 offset, it's stamped on them. Ok?

Let's keep this about how big of spacers u can run, cause I want to know what people have ran on stock rims.

 

[Outlawstar98]

Oh and the MP3 had +55 aswell.

 

[ND4MSP]

I've 5mm on mine for 3-4 years no prob. Its funny because its only 5mm but when I had them off you could tell the diff. I think when I need new tires in a couple years im gonna powder coat the rh's put 215 40's on and go 13-15mm.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

so no one knows if a 20mm spacer would work on the back or the front?

 

[yellowmsp035]

do it. it will work

 

[Outlawstar98]

thats the smallest offset they have, would that work??? Or should I PM them and see if they have a 10MM one? so it would be at +45 and not +40

 

[ride0012]

go on to yahoo and type in wheel spacers for a 2003 mazda protege and there are some places that come up that have 10mm sets.

 

[Outlawstar98]

But I want the HUBCENTRIC

 

[ride0012]

then i think thats all they have i want to go with 10mm. but not sure yet. if you do pm them and they have 10mm let me know please.

 

[Outlawstar98]

I just e-mailed them, even though I dont have the $ Lol

 

[ride0012]

I dont have the money either right now but its good to know.

 

[yellowmsp035]

just get the 20mm. you wont be disappointed.

the 10mm's wont get the flush look if thats what youre going for

 

[ride0012]

Dont know if i can go that big. I am lowered on ground controls and i could raise it but thought 10mm would work. If your saying we have to go with atleast 20mm to get the flush look then i guess thats what ill go with.

Would 15mm get it flush?
